We’re thinking about our priorities, the work we want to keep doing, and any new areas where we can make a difference and improve the life chances of the young people in our communities. We also want to provide better support to our leaders, managers, administrators, trustees, and supportersWe want as many people as possible from across our county to have the opportunity to contribute to this important process and what better way to do this than to come together to identify our challenges and plan for the way we are going to address the issues that matter to us all.
