So what do we plan for the future?
Launch of our appeal: Raising funds to address these issues and
more.
Create a panel of local people who will form a fellowship that is passionate about the subject and who will drive this appeal forward.
Work with the Foundation to create a panel to raise money, help raise awareness of the appeal and help decide which projects should be supported.
