Strategic Plan 2022 - 2025
|
A full review of the first Strategic Plan 2018-2021 was undertaken as part of work towards developing this new strategic plan. It highlighted aims and objectives that have only been partially completed and need continued work.
However, it also pointed towards significant achievements by Carlow PPN. These successes need to be recognised and acknowledged and it is vital that these are retained and built upon for our future work.
