So does anyone have any comments on the actual strategic framework document?

Personally I think it's quite good, but then I sort of would anyway. Do you agree? Disagree? Partially agree? Have questions? Please let us know!

Gordo, you're right that the volunteer community is larger than the member base, and we really want to change that! I will be presenting an (early) draft communications strategy to the board in June, and one of the issues we will be looking at within the wider strategy is membership. Cheers, Lucy

Yes, I said that. So what's the answer to the question I asked: how
else would
you do it?
By encouraging the wider community to become members, so that they get a vote at the AGM.
The volunteer community is much larger than the membership of the registered charity, and that body does indeed influence the activities of WMUK.
But I am not happy with non members influencing change at the level of Articles of Association. Non members become members who then get a vote on these matters.
Wider engagement? How would I do it? Well communications strategy and policy is always a good place to start.
