Key Initiatives

Tring Together's Community Action Plan splits into six key initiatives:

Each initiative is headed by a Sponsor, selected from the Management Committee, whose responsibility it is to initiate new projects within their area of work. The sponsor, supported by the Project Officer, will recruit a working group of volunteers, often involving other organisations, to implement the project.
