02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Lochinver Pre-School Centre Association is a registered charity which has previously been registered with the Highland Council and the Care Inspectorate to provide pre-school education for children in Assynt. From 2011, day to day operations were managed by Care & Learning Alliance, paying an annual rent to LPSCA. In 2023 Highland Council took over the running of the ELC, paying annual rent to LSCPA. The committee, which is made up of parents/carers of attending children, aims to meet up several times a year, and is responsible for organising fundraising and maintaining the Pre-School building. It also helps to pay for any extras that will benefit the children.
