Achievements this Year
|
Great strides have been taken this year with a marked increase in our project work and relocation to new offices. In keeping with our sustainable development initiative model, work areas are grouped under Environmental, Economic and Social plus Corporate work. | |

|
Upcoming work
|
| These work areas arise from the Belfast Hills Business Plan and represent primarily the project work to be carried out beyond our core functions. These include our ongoing event programme, planning responses, board meetings, administration and volunteer work. |
