just realised its not recorded on this thread that when they hit 25% they advertised for someone for a 3 month assignment. hopefully the assignment will be extended as more money is raised

Hopefully someone will apply for the post! We don't seem to be an attractive bunch. Did the UK biobank manage to recruit a nurse does anyone know?

For a bit of Friday positivity. The numbers for this fundraiser are rising, nearing £20,000 now.

I think it was said they’d start looking into hiring at the halfway mark?

All funds raised through the kiltwalk will be matched 140%, so could be a good way to make the most of your donation

@adambeyoncelowe are you able to help with an answer to this question please?

 

[NelliePledge]

I think it was announced in June that they’d changed their mind and were going ahead on recruiting starting with a 3 month contract. Which could be extended depending on funds being raised.

 

[Trish]

Have they appointed someone?

I do a bit with #MEAction and can say an announcement will be made on this shortly!

 

[Cinders66]

Good because nothing else is happening is it?

 

[Gecko]

Sorry @Cinders66, not entirely sure what you're asking?

It was more rhetorical ie we need #MEAction in the uk or there is no action IMO, which I find very frustrating

Ahhh I get you! The question mark had me all confused thanks for clarifying. I do think and hope that #MEAction UK can support a greater array of grassroots campaigning and enable more involvement from the housebound through accessible online activism.
