About Us
A heritage of supporting education staff stretching back over two centuries.
Teaching Staff Trust took over from the Schoolmistresses and Governesses Benevolent Institution (SGBI), a charity with a heritage of over 170 years of work assisting educators in financial hardship, in 2017.
In 2018 we merged with the Society of Schoolmasters and Schoolmistresses (SOSS), founded in 1797, with whom we'd worked closely for many years.
Today we continue that long tradition, providing fast, practical grants to people working in education across the UK when the unexpected happens.
