Making Sense of the AGM

  • News
Annual General Meetings (AGMs) can sometimes feel confusing or daunting, especially if you’re attending one for the first time. This year, we’re offering different opportunities to learn more about AGMs and what being a Member means for you. These sessions are designed to help you understand your options, ask questions and decide how — or whether — you’d like to take part.

AGM Information Sessions

In September 2026, we will send our Notice of AGM to all clients who have registered to be on our newsletter distribution list. The Notice of AGM is the official invitation to attend our AGM with all the info you need to attend and make a decision about becoming a Member.

If you’re not already on our newsletter list and would like to be added, please contact our office at info@maryfrancestrust.org.uk or on 01372 375 400 or SMS 07929 024722.

Once the Notice has gone out, we’ll run two further AGM Information Sessions.

These sessions will focus on:

What will happen at this year’s AGM

How voting works, including proxy voting

What support is available on the day

An opportunity to ask any questions you may have

The sessions are designed to help you understand what to expect and decide what feels right for you. Both sessions will cover the same content, so you can choose the time that works best for you.

Delivery and Strategy Lead: Co-Production and Community Engagement (Leatherhead)

Portrait of Megan, Co-Production Lead, MFT

Megan joined MFT in January 2025 and looks after the development of our strategic priority for MFT to live and breathe co-production. She also facilitates our Advisory Group, and champions those with lived experience of mental health challenges to improve the way mental health support is developed, reviewed, and delivered.

Megan first learnt about co-production as a Lived Experience Advisor with the Independent Mental Health Network based at Surrey Coalition of Disabled People, contributing her own lived experience to mental health projects in Surrey and North East Hampshire after graduating university.

She has since worked on a range of development projects for Surrey’s mental health and wellbeing support, immersing community engagement and lived experience into research and decision-making. Additionally, she is an alumna for The King’s Fund after completing their Advanced Organisational Development Practitioner programme.

To maintain her wellbeing, Megan is an avid reader, journals, and practices Yoga.
