Many hands
ME Research UK is looking for new trustees
In the past 17 years, ME Research UK
has invested over £1.5 million in biomed-
ical research and, in terms of scientific
papers published, we have funded more
projects (45 to date) on ME/CFS than
any other single organisation in the
world outside North America.
With our small, committed team
of core staff, an advisory panel of profes-
sional scientists, and a dedicated Board
of Trustees, we are committed to estab-
lishing ME Research UK as a major force
for change that will make a real, long-
term difference to the lives and prospects
of people with the disease.
We wish to develop further and
to expand our current Board, and so we
need volunteers who want to become
trustees. As a member of the Board of
Trustees, you will play a key role in de-
veloping our strategy and vision to help
ME Research UK become a powerhouse
of research funding into ME/CFS; to be
recognised as the leading UK ME/CFS
research funder; and to engage fully with
supporters.
The most effective boards are
those that benefit from individuals who
are from a diverse range of backgrounds,
experiences and skill sets. So, whatever
skills you have – financial, marketing,
medical, research or good old-fashioned
common sense – we’d like to hear from
you.
