We’re proud to have launched our new Corporate Plan, informed by years of experience, expertise and most importantly, our members’ feedback and input.

Our knowledge of spina bifida, hydrocephalus and associated conditions has evolved so far that, more so than ever, we understand the importance of careful management to prevent and reduce their effects.

By continually listening to your views we have developed a plan which aims to tackle the issues which matter to you most.

The new plan sets out our aims and objectives from now until 2027, and how we intend to achieve them and ensure a membership which is engaged, enabled and empowered.
