2022 Annual Report
Since 2011 Liquid Therapy has evolved from a small, community based, volunteer run group to a registered charity with a national remit. Now, Liquid Therapy operates as a registered charity with a core team of staff who enable Liquid Therapy to provide a more structured and organised programme of activities for participants. In 2021 we worked with 196 surfers and provided 915 individual water sessions with funding from 6 different organisations, across the Northwest of Ireland.
2022-2024 Strategic Plan
The Liquid Therapy strategic plan 2022-2024 was completed with the support of an external consultant during 2021. As part of this process we conducted a market analysis and consultation with key stakeholders. This included the families who benefit from our programmes, our Board of Directors and other key stakeholders, as well as examining key national policy documents and academic research.
