We have been doing a huge amount of work lately on our purpose & vision for the organisation and how we are going to reach our goals. The AGM represents a great opportunity to get up to speed with where we are at and the exciting future that lies ahead. We encourage you to think beforehand how you might like to contribute to & be involved in creating better outcomes for people with cleft & their families. We are certain there is so much knowledge & experience to be offered, that once you hear what we want to achieve you will see where you can fit in.

AGM formalities are kept to a minimum with the focus being our achievements over the past year and our plans for the coming 12 months.
