education futures trust

Education Futures Trust (EFT) is a Hastings based charity dedicated to providing innovative support and learning tailored to the needs of children, families and vulnerable adults in the local area. Education Futures Trust was established in January 2012 after local school heads and governors chose to create an independent organisation to deliver services identified as essential to families and to provide additional commissioned services for schools. Charitable status was achieved on 1st March 2012, enabling the EFT to move forward to meet its obligations, particularly around fundraising. The additional revenue, raised through bids and fundraising activities, provides free services for member schools, families and local residents. The Trust benefits from the expertise of local, senior leaders from the community, business, education and the council who form the board of trustees. We have a professional team of employees and volunteers who work for the Trust, covering our work with families, young people, adults and schools. EFT does not receive any funding other than that we raise ourselves and therefore fundraising activity is crucial for us to be able to continue to provide support for some of the most vulnerable children and adults in Hastings.
