Board of Trustees

The Students’ Union is governed by a Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees ensures the Union has the necessary financial and structural stability to carry out its aims effectively. The Board of Trustees makes major decisions on legal and financial issues and ensures that the Union is delivering on the political policy set by its democratic bodies.

The Board of Trustees is made up for the following:
