I filled it in. Quite a lot of scope for giving opinion and in the UK this is quite rare opportunity to give feedback so why not take it. I called for more vibrancy, innovation and radicalism but as a solely research charity perhaps the latter has Limits.

meruk are currently funding some good research, around the world, and are looking for people to volunteer on their board of trustees too.

I think that this is a welcome move to being more proactive, more engaged and more aspirational, they say

As we go into our 20th year working to end the suffering caused by ME, we want to fund more biomedical research than ever before. We also want to raise awareness of ME and our work to a wider audience.

We need your help to do this. We are looking for more volunteers who can help us with awareness-raising activities, and help others to raise funds for our cause.

i like the emphasis on suffering. Please click link for more details.

I think that trying To get the involved community onboard with increased fundraising efforts is a good idea.
The question is after their more conservative approach to date are they going to have support to transform.
