In 2011 the Alliance will celebrate its 50th birthday. A series of exciting activities involving past and current members, partners, staff and volunteers will ensure the celebrations continue for the whole year. The official launch takes place at a major venue early in 2011 with exact details to be confirmed closer to the time. The Alliance also intends to produce specific resources and deliver fun events at national and local level which aim to celebrate, raise funds and highlight the positive impact of our work over the past 50 years.
