Our Mission
Our mission at CASP is to deliver a coherent range of services, which meet the needs of local parents, particularly lone parents, who wish to work, study full-time, or are actively seeking full-time work. Our services are aimed at primary school children (4-11 year olds), and entails the provision of a safe and happy environment before and after school, safe travel to and from school and a full day service during school holidays. Our free child care service aimed at 2-4 year olds, this will entail the provision for 15 hours per week per child, where young children can learn, play, explore and develop. The overall mission is also to enable children to develop both socially and academically both by the provision of appropriate group play and through structured learning.
CASP Message Statement
Here at CASP we value the involvement of local parents and schools in our programme and work, and welcome their comments and involvement in every aspect of our work at all times. Should you be interested in using our services then please do get in touch with Carmen Lindsay MBE, our CEO and her team are here to help and ensure that our services and facilities meets the expectations of our parents and local schools.
CASP is a registered charity which is managed in a 'business like' manner by a board of volunteer trustees. Trustees meet on a regular basis to discuss staff reports on our activities, and to oversee our developments, and of course our finances! CASP has to 'balance its books' as we are also a 'not for profit' company. This we are currently able to do, through the 'fees' we charge to our parents, which meets some 90% of our outgoings. Additional income is gained through 'letting out' our premises, and through our many other fundraising efforts. This is a major challenge as we need to keep charges affordable for parents, but still need to pay them rent for the buildings we use.
Should you wish to learn more about our day to day operations, or offer us your support in any way for example, by making a donation or by becoming a trustee of CASP, then again please feel free to get in touch to discuss further. We very much welcome such involvement and can always do with any extra support to help us fulfill our aspirations of delivering the best possible services for local children and their families.
