Scollar Associates is the trading arm of the Trust. Any profits are gift aided back to the charity for the furtherance of its charitable aims. Its current focus is Educational and Management consultancy across the wider public sector and for businesses. The Trading arm had a turnover of £150,000 in 2007-8, but has yet to make a profit. To return a profit to the Charity the Trading Arm is being expanded to be the delivery arm of SET through the engagement of Scollar Associates consultants to deliver SET’s programmes.

We will also:

Provide Consultancy, Training and bespoke activities in LA’s, Schools and the wider Public Sector and other organisations through winning contracts or through service level agreements

Responding to the specific needs of Southend Schools and others in South Essex

Developing new products and services

By 2010 we plan to increase turnover by £100,000 and by £150,000 in 2011 this will contribute to the sustainability of SET.
