RYA Northern Ireland’s four-year strategy from 2017 to 2021 had helped give direction to the organisation, particularly following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through which it was extended.
Consultation with clubs, centres and groups for a renewed strategy started in 2020 but was put on hold as the effects of the pandemic took priority.
Responses collated from these groups will still form part of the strategic plan going forward from 2022 alongside further consultation and feedback, RYANI says.
It adds that its strategy is important to provide direction of the organisation, helping address the challenges faced by boating in Northern Ireland, allowing the organisation to work further with stakeholders and direct resource to promote and develop activity in NI.
The survey can be accessed via the online consultation, which closes on Friday 25 March.
