Our Work

All our work stems from our aims and objectives. We have two aims, each linked to underpinning objectives:

Aim One: To improve the quality of information and advice that is available to people in Reading by:

  • Setting, maintaining and publicizing a quality standard for RAN members
  • Supporting members to achieve this standard
  • Helping members to share knowledge and expertise to make each other more effective

Aim Two: To be a focal point for information and advice services in Reading by:

  • Providing services which enable RAN members to discuss key issues and support each other
  • Sharing useful information with RAN members
  • Publicizing RAN to non-members
  • Acting as the collective voice of RAN members to help shape service provision.

Business Plan

Our RAN Business Plan 2024 - 2027 sets out four strategic priorities.

  • Remain financially secure
  • Continue to build our membership
  • Develop and deliver appropriate services for our members
