What is The Ramsey Initiative?

The Ramsey Initiative is led by an executive committee – all volunteers – who work with the co-ordinator to drive the Initiative's Action Plan. The Action Plan is, in effect, an outline of the organisation's vision for the future and encompasses the Initiative's Objectives.

The Initiative has worked for many years, delivering into their strategic priorities, and playing an active role in the growth and sustainability of the local economy.

We believe Ramsey has a lot to offer. We want to make it a more vibrant and economically active market town. Through our projects, activity and membership we plan to increase Ramsey’s appeal to residents, businesses, traders, and visitors alike.

Who are the Initiative's Members?

Our membership is drawn from local residents, retailers, businesses, community organisations and some statutory bodies. Everyone is welcome to apply for membership.

What are the Initiative's Objectives?

We have identified seven key objectives; all projects and activities are directed towards achieving those objectives and detailed in an action plan.

• To improve the image of the Town Centre and promote it for shopping, leisure, cultural and commercial destination
• To improve the communication within the town and between all local organisations
• To encourage and facilitate improvements to the physical environment of the town centre
• To improve and promote the safety and accessibility of the town to all its users
