Bucksburn After School Care


I’ve been forwarded this email from Lynn, our Chairperson, in respect of the proposed after school care currently attempting launch.

Dear All,

Many thanks to the 5 parents who attended the meeting held at the Beacon Community Centre on Wed 10th Sept.

A short presentation was given by CLICC, before the floor was opened up to the parents for questions, after which, the group agreed that CLICC should take on the management of the project.

CLICC will now proceed to write their own business plan before registering with the Care Commission. This is a process that can take anything from 3 to 6 months, but due to the work that has already been put in place by the Development Officers, the process will hopefully not take quite as long.

All further developments will be carried out by CLICC, and I imagine that they will contact families from all three schools in due course.

Best wishes for the future

Kind regards

Elaine Allan

Hopefully we’ll have a fully functioning out-of-school care system set up soon in Bucksburn/Newhills.
