We are registered to take up to 26 children per day.
Scallywags is run by a Volunteer Management Committee who employ a part-time paid Administrator.

We are looking to recruit more Trustees to our Charity and are particularly keen to find people with the following knowledge or skills - Website Designer, Health & Safety & Fundraising.
Please contact the Chair of Trustees - Lorna - to find out more. You will need to complete an Enhanced DBS and attend monthly Committee meetings (Zoom available).
Although most are, you don't need to be a parent to be a Trustee of our Charity.
