SFT focused on sustainable and thriving Scotland in latest Outcomes report
Infrastructure body, the Scottish Futures Trust (SFT) has published its latest Outcomes report, highlighting the economic and environmental impacts it and its many partners have made over the past 12 months.
Examples of this include:

- New affordable housing development after supporting the public-to-public sale of the site of the former Clydebank Health Centre
- A third pilot to deliver more affordable housing with six local authorities as regional partners.
- Speeding up investment in Stornoway lead to the recently opened deep water terminal that is anticipated to attract £5bn of long-term economic benefit over the next 10 years
- Ensuring the design of East Lothian Council’s new Wallyford Campus supports future local employment needs
- Net Zero Buildings Standard supporting over £3bn of public sector projects
These achievements and more are documented in 19 new case studies which can be found on the dedicated Outcomes website.
