The Chapter describes the extensive consultations within and beyond the Omagh community. The governance and management of the Centre is described along with challenges in funding and mainstreaming the skills and services developed by the Centre. The development of the Centre’s five key programmes - therapy, research, training and education, policy support and humanitarian relief, are outlined and described further in later chapters.
