CONTEXT
LGBT Ireland incorporated as a company limited by guarantee and a
registered charity in June **Apply on the website**, however the
organisation has been in existence for over a decade, and in **Apply
on the website** celebrated the **Apply on the website**th anniversary
of the National LGBT Helpline service. Since registering as a charity,
the organisation has expanded rapidly, growing from a team of two
part-time staff to five fulltime staff, who are working alongside a
national network of over **Apply on the website** volunteers based in
eight local member helplines. The services, training and advocacy work
of the organisation has also expanded to include additional online and
face to face services, specialist training programmes and national
advocacy campaigns.
In preparation for developing the new Strategic Plan, there are two
important considerations.
* Firstly, LGBT Ireland has just undergone a review of its National
Quality Standards for delivering frontline support services, and this
report which includes recommendations based on international best
practice in helpline provision, should be considered alongside other
important documents, such as the National LGBTI+ Inclusion Strategy
**Apply on the website** to **Apply on the website**, which are
pertinent to the work of the organisation in the forthcoming planning
period.
* Secondly, a key point with the strategic plan consultation process
is the central involvement of the Board the integration of Board/Staff
in the planning process. A Board recruitment campaign is currently
underway which will recruit three new Board members by the April/May
**Apply on the website**. It is important that the planning process
can be responsive to all Board members ? newly joined and more
experienced.
