About South Cheshire CLASP
South Cheshire CLASP has been supporting lone parent families since 1997, obtaining charity status in 2002. Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers work with over 150 families a year.
CLASP’s aim is to reach out and support those in the local community who are affected by the difficulties associated with parenting alone, whatever their circumstances. We offer friendly support and encouragement to assist with the progression from crisis to wholeness and a positive future for the whole family.
The delivery of our services is based on a Christian ethos, offering support and activities to ALL who are part of a lone parent family, regardless of their situation.
