NARCOLEPSY UK - New name heralds new structure
As you may have been aware, the Trustees recently proposed to the members that we change the name of our charity from Narcolepsy Association UK (or UKAN) – to Narcolepsy UK. We made this proposal as part of our plans for the future of the charity. While “UKAN” worked well with the members, it frequently caused confusion with external parties. We will be introducing the charity to a large number of people over the next few years, and so we now need a name which clearly reflects who we are.
In accordance with the constitution of the charity, we therefore announced a Special General Meeting – which was held on Sunday 13th December in St Albans, Herts. We took votes from all those present as well as several proxy votes which were received in the post. The votes received were overwhelmingly in favour of the proposal, and so our name has now changed to Narcolepsy UK.
New Structure...
The trustees have been busy interviewing candidates for the role of

and 2nd interviews on Tues 22nd Dec. We hope to announce who we have
chosen very shortly...
