Vote for Trustees

Supporting Member votes for Trustees 2025

Our Trustees ensure that the Board has the necessary skills to govern the charity effectively. Many of the Board have or have had ME; the majority of the rest have strong connections with ME, usually through a family member or close friend.

Scroll down for profiles of each candidate, who will be formally appointed subject to the votes of our Supporting Members. You can do this digitally below, as well as by post via InterAction magazine (see pages 10-12, issue 116 = UPDATE)

Please indicate your vote for each candidate here by 5pm on XX [NEEDS NEW LINK - FORM?]

Only those candidates who receive more ‘yes’ votes than ‘no’ votes will be re-appointed to the Action for M.E. Board of Trustees.

Results will be announced at our online AGM on XX - all are welcome to join us to hear about our services, support, campaigns and research.

Notes for your information

1. Only Supporting and Lifelong Members of Action for ME (known collectively as Supporting Membership) are eligible to vote in the election of new Trustees.
2. Supporting Membership does not mean membership of Action for ME as a company limited by guarantee. The Trustees of Action for ME have resolved that those candidates who are endorsed by the Supporting Membership will be elected as Trustees by the members of Action for ME as a company law matter. Conversely, the Trustees have undertaken that those candidates who are not endorsed by the Supporting Membership will not be elected as Trustees by the members of Action for ME.
3. Any votes received from persons who are not part of the Supporting Membership or who cannot be identified by Action for ME as such shall be deemed invalid.
4. An individual Supporting or Lifelong Member shall only be entitled to one vote for each candidate. Any further votes received from that individual shall be deemed invalid.
5. All votes must be received by Action for ME on or before 5pm on XX. Any votes received after this time will not be counted.
6. A candidate shall be eligible for appointment or reappointment as a Trustee on and from Action for M.E.’s Annual General Meeting, XX, in the event that he or she receives more valid ‘yes’ votes than ‘no’ votes. Any ‘no preference’ votes or non-indicated votes shall be disregarded for these purposes.
7. In the event of any dispute regarding the ballot or the voting process, the decision of the Board of Trustees of Action for ME shall be final and binding.
