Governance.

Region strategy
Our region strategy sets out our journey to 2030. Through its three pillars, we will invest in our organisation, our members and our reputation.
Work on the strategy began in 2025 and included consultation with county commissioners and region advisers. Our Trustees endorsed the approach, and everything we do through to 2030 will align with the strategy and support the achievement of our vision.
