Web-site restrictions
ACAT will be moving to a new website shortly. Due to unforeseen technical issues, the launch has been postponed briefly. The developers aim for it to be available by the end of April. Apologies for any inconvenience.
In preparation, this website
no longer lets members renew their membership.
Urgent membership renewals should instead be done by contacting
Alison Marfell.
Please do not update
any personal details on your member/friend profile,
as changes at this point will not be transferred to the new site.
Please check back for further updates.
Annual General Meeting
23rd May 2025
The AGM will take place at the NCVO (The National Council for Voluntary Organisations), Society Building, 8 All Saints Street, London N1 9RL, on Friday 23rd May 2025, 12:10 to 13:10.
Items for the AGM agenda or proposed resolutions to be received by Tuesday, 22nd April 2025 at the latest.
The AGM Booklet of Papers, containing the agenda, reports, and accounts, will be available on the website from 1st May. As in previous years, it will not be printed.
Nominations to the Board of Trustees
It is required by our Memorandum and Articles of Association that at each AGM at least one third of trustees stand down (with the opportunity to stand for re-election if so wished). The maximum number of trustees at any one time is twelve. Nominations for election to the Board are invited from voting members of ACAT (ie fully paid-up practitioners, psychotherapists, and life members), and from lay people. Currently a maximum of two lay trustees are permitted on the Board at any one time.
The Board of Trustees have made the decision not to recruit any new trustees at this year's Annual General Meeting. This is due to the ongoing organisational review, which the Trustees want to receive and digest before considering the next steps for the charity.
However, if you are interested in standing as a trustee in the future, please request contact with a current trustee so you can find out more about the role.
Voting by Proxy
If you are a full voting member and cannot attend the meeting but wish to vote on the reports and accounts, it will be possible to appoint a proxy.
‘Voting by Proxy’ will open on Thursday 1st May 2025 and will close at noon on Tuesday 20th May 2025.
The proxy form will be available from 1st May.
Requests for a proxy vote received after the closing date cannot be accepted.
Attendance at the AGM is free and is open to all members.
We very much look forward to seeing you.
