Crescent Union Solidarity Programme, CUSP, is an initiative of the Past Pupils Union to assist past pupils or staff of Crescent who may need support and advice at a time of personal difficulty. Issues may be personal, health or career related.

CUSP brings together a panel of professionals, all Crescent past pupils, from areas such as law, finance, health, counselling, employment and redundancy. They are willing to assist on a voluntary basis when required, offering confidential guidance and a listening ear.

CUSP is managed by a sub committee of the Union. It reports to the Union Committee only on organisational and financial matters. No information about individual cases is shared with the Committee, so anyone who contacts CUSP can be assured of complete confidentiality.
