Environmental Sustainability:

We commit to involving children in sustainable practices and improve sustainability at the centre through reducing waste and increasing the centre’s grown produce to limit our environmental impact

We commit to maintaining the financial sustainability of the centre through robust audit and accounting practices, expenditure in line with the strategic plan, an annual review of the Centre fees, ensuring sufficient cash to cover costs and learning initiatives
