Our Vision
Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) is a campaigning public health charity that works to eliminate the harm caused by tobacco.
Our vision
A world free from the harm caused by tobacco.
Strategic Priorities
ASH works towards achieving four strategic priorities as outlined our Strategic Plan 2008-11. The strategic priorities cover all areas of ASH’s work, both in terms of current activities and future directions.
ASH’s four strategic priorities are:
- Advocacy and Policy Development
To press for concrete and evidence based measures to effect policy change and reduce the harm caused by tobacco.
- Information and Research
To maintain, develop and enhance the quality, reputation and integrity of the information which ASH provides and to communicate it effectively. To service the day-to-day information and intelligence needs of the tobacco control community in the UK.
- Networking and Enabling Networking
To be the main nexus for UK tobacco networking. To be the feed-in point and key contributor for regional and international networking within the context of our strategic policy.
- Resources and Sustainability
To secure appropriate funding and other resources for the achievement of the organisations objectives in a sustainable way.
