The ME Association (MEA) has recently been contacted by two members requesting a governance review, and consideration of adopting the full Charity Governance Code.
The Charity Governance Code is an important source of advice and a useful tool for all charities. The code is not a legal or regulatory requirement.
The MEA is fully committed to reviewing its governance, following best practice and carrying out due diligence within appropriate timescales.
In undertaking a review, the MEA would seek advice from all relevant organisations and bodies in the charity sector.
We have agreed to initiate discussions around this at our upcoming AGM on Monday 9 December at 2 pm, after which further statements will be issued.
The MEA and its trustees continue to be fully committed to working with our members in reviewing governance and ensuring that the Association is delivering value now and in the future.
We thank you for your continued support.
Neil Riley,
Chairman of Trustees
The ME Association
