History

The Scottish Union Learning Fund (SULF) ran from 2000-2011. It was established in 2000 by the former Scottish Executive to help promote activity by trade unions in support of its lifelong learning programme. The total invested in the fund since inception was £8.75m. This investment is recognition of the leading role trade unions can play in raising the demand for workplace learning, through partnership working with employers and other stakeholders, to motivate individuals to participate in lifelong learning. SULF ensured effective and sustainable activity by trade unions and their partners. The emphasis of the fund was on building up trade unions’ capacity to promote people’s development and workplace learning by encouraging and supporting learners.
