New Year Update
Happy New Year! Annual Planning Day Not surprisingly, January is a fairly quiet month. Our main activity is to begin 2025 with our annual planning day at the Holiday Inn, Scotch Corner.

Review of processes Our first task was to reflect on how the organisation has been operating, and some improvements to our routines were agreed, and Executive posts confirmed. We decided to revive having Programme Action Review as part of our AGM, and some ideas for new projects were considered to run alongside our ongoing activities. Charity Funding
