Our Strategic Plan:

The Management Committee is pleased to announce that in June 2012 we finalised our strategic plan for 2012-2015.  

The development of this plan has been made possible as a result of the support of the Heirisson Rotary Club and Dr Liz Pattison who has been central to the refining of key issues, concerns and language used in the document.
