How does Asthma UK decide what to spend its money on?
Asthma UK is currently working within a three year strategic plan which focuses our work on five main goals (below). These goals guide the decisions we make on what we spend the money we raise on. Each year staff recommend projects, based on the needs of people with asthma, these are then presented to the Board of Trustees, which approves the plans and budgets. 1. Support the best science and promote dialogue to advance knowledge and treatments and secure improvements for people with asthma. 2. Influence the provision of high-quality services across the UK, ensuring that they can be reached by all people with asthma, especially those with the worst health outcomes. 3. Give people with asthma and healthcare professionals across the UK the knowledge, confidence and support to manage asthma effectively. 4. Champion the interests and priorities of people with asthma and achieve positive change on their behalf. 5. Grow our capacity to make a difference for people with asthma.
