  Our volunteers play a vital role in making sure that Camberwell Afterschool Project (CASP) achieves its core purpose. The HR Truste will have an important role with contributing to strategic aims of the charity., Despite our achievements, like most small charities we struggle to survive. Since losing our core funding from Southwark Council in 2012 we have worked tirelessly to keep the charity going. In 2025, CASP will celebrate 40 years and some of our employees have been with us for more than 20 years. Therefore, we want to review and improve our HR processes and procedures to ensure our employees continue to feel valued and engaged., Since 1985, CASP have supported local parents who wished to work or study by providing good quality and affordable out-of-school childcare for nursery and primary school aged children.
