| THE WORDS OF DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES | |
| "I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that." | |
| "I've taken the children to all sorts of areas where I'm not sure anyone of that age in this family has been before. . . . And they have a knowledge -- they may never use it, but the seed is there -- and I hope it will grow, because knowledge is power: I want them to have an understanding of people's emotions, people's insecurities, people's distress, and people's hopes and dreams." | |
| "I've had difficulties . . . but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress." | |

Princess Diana: "The worst illness of our time is that so many people have to suffer from not ever being loved"
The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund releases Strategic Plan 2007-2012
Date: 28 February 2007
London
The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund released its new Strategic Plan 2007-2012 on Wednesday 28 February 2006.
The Plan sets out the Fund's corporate strategy for the next five years, detailing our strategic goals, how we propose to achieve them and how we will measure success. It emerges from a process that took place over 2005-2006 that included strategic planning, consultation, and dialogue with the voluntary sector.
The Fund will spend out its existing capital over a period of between five and nine years from early 2007. In order to achieve its aims in this limited time span it has needed to change the way it works. So it is moving from being a criteria-led grant maker to being a pro-active and objective-driven one. It will focus on three initiatives, each of which has a desired outcome and a set of strategic objectives to be achieved over five years.
Under the Palliative Care Initiative, the Fund is committed to spending up to £10 million to promote the scale-up of palliative care in Africa. The desired outcome is that palliative care is accepted as an essential part of, and integrated into, the care and treatment of people with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-limiting illnesses.
Under the Refugee and Asylum Seekers Initiative, the Fund is committed to spending up to £10 million to raise awareness and highlight the needs and issues of young refugees and asylum seekers. The desired outcome is that the rights of young refugees and asylum seekers in the UK are upheld.
Under The Partnership Initiative, the Fund is committed to spending up to £5 million to build on previous investments in selected programme areas, to ensure that they are leveraged to their fullest potential. The desired outcome is that systemic change takes place in the UK in penal affairs, mental health and other areas, towards better outcomes for young people, and internationally in the area of landmines and explosive remnants of war.
For the next five years the Fund will engage primarily in pro-active grant-making. Grants will be provided on an invitation-to-bid basis or through negotiated partnerships with selected organisations. The Fund has identified this as the optimal means of attaining our strategic objectives. Therefore, apart from a restricted amount of funding to be made available through an open grants process under the Refugee and Asylum Seekers Initiative, as of early 2007 no other demand-driven open grants rounds are envisaged.
The Strategic Plan 2007-2012 can be downloaded here.
