Lottery Funded

Keith Wood, Committee Member

"My first contact and knowledge of C.A.S.S. was when I was appointed Financial Administrator on 1st August 1997. This grand title meant that I was in sole charge of C.A.S.S's. finances and general office administration.

At that time C.A.S.S. was only involved in tenancies with some floating support and two schemes – one of which was financed by the National Lottery plus a fledgling SMART Project. I retired from C.A.S.S. in May 2002 at which time the organisation had expanded slowly into fields in which its expertise was widely acknowledged.

Nevertheless it then had a staff of only twelve people and a turnover of just under £450,000. Six years later C.A.S.S. now has a dedicated staff of twenty-nine and a projected turnover in excess of £1 million. This rapid growth has not been at the expense of quality in delivery of service which now covers several projects.

Following my retirement I was invited to join the Management Committee/ Trustees which has allowed me to continue to enjoy contact with a dedicated organisation of which the general community should be proud."
