Shaw Trust to offer services to private sector.

Added on Friday 26 Feb 2010

Shaw Trust CEO plans big expansion of commercial division - The Trust, the UK’s biggest charity for getting disabled or long-term unemployed people into work, currently earns almost all its income from national contracts with central and local government departments, mainly the Department for Work and Pensions. The Shaw Trust made a £2.8m loss in 2008/09 compared with a surplus of £7.4m the previous year, even though turnover grew by £8.48m to £81.39m during the year. The deficit was blamed on the high start-up costs of delivering Pathways to Work contracts for the DWP.
