The coming year is likely to be extremely busy for the organisation as it adjusts to the new environment and deals with the ongoing consequences of COVID-19. It will be important that the Annual Plans over the next few years remain flexible to accommodate what are likely to remain very volatile environments for the sector and country as a whole. We are, however, in the advantageous position of having agreed funding programmes for the majority of our 2020-23 strategy and our focus will remain on the delivery of these. Despite the volatility, we know the aims of our strategy remain relevant post-COVID-19.
