update: STRATEGIC PLAN

19 September 2005

The Wellcome Trust has published its second Strategic Plan, Making a Difference, covering the period 2005–2010.

Our Strategic Plan sets out our aims, objectives and priorities for the next five years. Its title, Making a Difference, reflects our desire to continue making a significant impact in our areas of operation.

Six strategic aims have been identified in the Plan – advancing knowledge, using knowledge, engaging society, developing people, facilitating research and developing our organisation. These form the basis of the front section of our Annual Review 2005.

These strategic aims provide a flexible framework, guiding but not constraining the work we support in order to achieve our mission.
