New Steps for CARESCO
CARESCO (Sawtry District Care and Resource Organisation) incorporates day
centres, luncheon clubs, a Nearly New shop, swimming therapy, information
centre, Special Needs Playscheme and a thriving community printshop.
For many years it has been based in a deteriorating building,
originally part
of the Agricultural and Education Centre (now the Youth and Community Centre).
On 11 December 2000, the first turf was cut by Councillor Jack Smart, Chair of
CARESCO surrounded by committee members and the Organiser, Kathy Jones, in
preparation for a
desperately needed new building. For a full history of CARESCO, see "The Story of CARESCO" by
Marjorie Dybeck (the first CARESCO Organiser), Pub. 1999 by CARESCO, ISBN 0

original building dating from the early 70s but still in use to the early
part of 2001 CARESCO
