RNID Articles of Association

Update following the General Meeting September 2025

We’re pleased to share that the recent vote on our proposed new Articles of Association for RNID has officially passed, with over 90% of members voting in favour of the changes. Together, we have taken an important step forward.

The Articles were accepted and adopted at our General Meeting on 25 September 2025.

Thank you for your participation and support. It has been very helpful to receive your feedback and understand more about what you value as members.

What does this mean for me as a member?

You will continue to receive your magazines and your usual RNID communications. The only immediate change for members is that you will not be required to vote for the election of trustees or constitutional changes.

Thank you to everyone who voted and contributed to the conversation and for being such a vital part of the process.

As part of our ongoing commitment to creating the best possible experience for our members, we’re currently reviewing how we can improve membership to better reflect your feedback, needs and ideas. We’re excited for what’s ahead – look out for future updates.
