Making It All Add Up
In April, Pobal, with the support of City/County Childcare Committees, developed a resource entitled “Making It All Add Up – a Sustainability Resource for Childcare Providers”. The resource addresses the issue of sustainability and aims to provide some practical guidance to childcare providers as they deal with the economic challenges currently facing many businesses in Ireland. It includes some mechanisms for services to self-evaluate, to ask the difficult questions about the services they offer, how they operate, how much they can charge and what they can actually afford to offer in terms of making it all add up.
The resource is currently available for all beneficiaries to download from the Pobal website at www.pobal.ie
