Speaker:

Russell Fleming, Head of Communications, The Myalgic Encephalopathy Association 

Russell had spent a very enjoyable 14-year career in investment and personal finance. He worked for Lloyds Private Banking, had recently been promoted, and accepted a transfer to Jersey in the Channel Islands. In 1999 he took a holiday overseas and contracted a nasty and prolonged viral infection that led to ME/CFS. He joined the charity 8 years ago, first as a volunteer, working on several niche projects, before accepting a part-time position as the Website and Social Media Manager in 2017. As his illness stabilised and his functional abilities improved, Russell took a full-time position as Communications Manager in 2020 continuing to work from home. In 2022 he was charged with more responsibility and now oversees all activities relating to; fundraising, public relations, the 2 magazines, the website and website shop, literature, research reporting, benefits reporting, public information and support requests, and social media. He is responsible for related income and expenditure budgets and contributes to campaign planning and implementation. Russell now lives in Bude and is fortunate to have good support in place. He lives with Buster, a 17-month-old Labrador, and has started driving again, which have given him a new lease of life.
