2024 Conference Theme: Creating Sustainable Futures
Why has the theme of sustainability been selected as the theme for the third Club Central conference? Well, the National Wraparound Childcare Programme has put the sector under the spotlight like never before. In just 2022, we were talking about the sector being forgotten. Not any more. With childcare being a hot topic among political parties, thoughts are starting to turn towards how to make settings sustainable once funding has ended.
And so often, when people talk about being sustainable, it is not immediately clear if they mean financially sustainable, environmentally sustainable or even socially sustainable. So rather than try and distinguish between the different types of sustainability, this conference will consider sustainability as a whole. Each is important. Each impacts not only our future, but also that of those around us. When we commit to a sustainable future, we are seeking financial, environment and social sustainability, and the Club Central Conference will help delegates achieve just that!
