Future Directions Bridging the Gap is currently in the process of establishing itself as an independent not-for-profit company. This will provide a greater degree of flexibility for the organisation, allowing it to adapt and change to meet new challenges. A Business Plan has been prepared which provides the detail of how the new organisation will move forward, make full advantage of the opportunities available, and move towards sustainability. An experienced Board of Directors has been appointed to develop and drive the new company's strategy forward. BtG now comprises two teams of workers. Some BtG Team Members relaxing!
