Special Olympics Ireland Strategy 2012-2015Message fromthe CEOI am delighted to present the Special OlympicsIreland Strategic Plan 2012 – 2015 which will guideus over the next four years. The plan is the endresult of a very wide-ranging consultation processover a six-month period, involving athletes, families,volunteers, staff, funders and other stakeholdersacross the island.I look back with pride and absolute joy at thetremendous progress the organisation has madeduring our last strategic phase. In particular,we have welcomed 3,139 new athletes to theprogramme and have established 79 new clubssince 2008 alone. We have successfully brought theSpecial Olympics Programme closer to our athletesand deeper into local communities and yet, we havemuch more still to do.Special Olympics Ireland has been a leader andbeacon of light for the global organisation. We willcontinue to lead the way. Our vision for the future is tobuild a sustainable programme, one that continues toprovide a high quality sports programme for athletesin their local community. Through our many differentstakeholders, including over 25,000 registeredvolunteers and our countless family members,key sponsors, council of patrons, skilled staff,government agencies, police forces north & south,other community leaders and, most importantly, over10,000 fantastic athletes, we are an unstoppableforce.Although we face challenges, a number of which wehave identified within this Strategic Plan, our provenrecipe of success is that, as a movement, we pulltogether. As we look forward to the new four-yearcycle, recognising the backdrop of gloomy economicprevailing conditions, Special Olympics will continueto be “a flame of hope” for Irish communities.Continually we advocate that the two key enablers toachieving our vision are people and finance. As weapproach our new strategic period, this remains astrue as ever. We will raise the bar. We will continueto changes lives. Our athletes and their familiesdeserve the very best. Our athletes are centralto every aspect of this strategy and they are ourconstant source of inspiration and pride.I look forward to embracing our new strategy withyour support.Matt EnglishCEO, Special Olympics Ireland3
