PORT SUNLIGHT VILLAGE TRUST FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN LAUNCH Port Sunlight Village Trust celebrated the launch of their new five-year strategic plan inviting local businesses, partners and local MP’s to join them at Leverhulme Hotel for all to discover their new dynamic vision for the trust and the historic village that it is responsible for. Port Sunlight Village Trust, the charity that oversees the running of the Wirral village that attracts more than 300,000 visitors a year, has been awarded a Resilient Heritage grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund towards a 12-month project called Brighter Future. The funding supports the launch of their first five-year strategic plan, which will strengthen the charity’s income generation potential and facilitate the development of an enhanced and sustainable offer for visitors, village residents and the wider local community. Chief Executive, Paul Harris, presented the plan at the event and was delighted at the support and acknowledgement his team has received. “We know that our plans are ambitious. However, this is not a solo undertaking. It is a responsibility and privilege that we share with other Port Sunlight stakeholders. Together we must capitalise on our shared heritage, seize new opportunities, and display some of William Lever’s entrepreneurial drive, flair and imagination to create a homely, inclusive, welcoming village and an internationally renowned, financially successful heritage site.” For more information about the plans in full visit www.portsunlightvillage.com
