As a member of Shepherds Friendly, you come first. We take pride in doing the right thing, so we try to make a positive difference through the products and service we provide. We know that a great way to make sure this happens is to listen to you.
Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a great opportunity to have your say on how we’re run. This year, our AGM took place on Monday 7th July 2025.
What is the AGM?
An Annual General Meeting (AGM) is an event that takes place once a year where members of an organisation come together. At our AGM, we have an introduction from our Chair, followed by a summary of the previous year, and a presentation, before our resolutions and votes are discussed. There is also time dedicated to answering our members’ questions.
When is the AGM?
Our 2025 AGM will took place on Monday 7th July at 5.15pm at our Head Office in Greater Manchester.
How do I vote?
Please note that voting for the 2025 AGM has now closed.
Thank you to everyone who had their say. If you missed your chance to vote, we will be in touch again next year with details of how you can get involved in the 2026 AGM.

Making an impact
We want our AGM to make a wider difference, so for every vote submitted ahead of the AGM, we donated £1.00 to Seashell Trust. They are a national charity that supports children and young adults with complex disabilities.
This year, thanks to our members’ votes, we raised a total of £1,745 for Seashell Trust.
Where can I find out what happened at this year’s AGM?
We’ll provide you with an update on the outcome of the meeting on this webpage soon afterwards.
Is the AGM the only way I can give feedback as a member?
The AGM is not the only way you can keep in contact or share your thoughts. We encourage members to get in touch all year round in a variety of ways: through our Member Services team, regular feedback surveys throughout your time with us, or via our social media and review platforms.
We value all feedback and take it seriously. Our members really matter, so we aim to use feedback to improve our service and products.
If you have any questions about our AGM or if you would like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact our Member Services team using our help support form.
