Trustee Board

The Board of Trustees is the most senior governing body of the Students' Union. It sets the strategic direction and vision of the Union and ensures we are operating in a safe and legal manner. The board approves the Union's annual budget, monitors our financial performance, and issues our Annual Reports.

The membership of the board is a mix of elected students (known as Sabbatical Officer Trustees), appointed students, and external trustees appointed for their knowledge and experience (known as Lay Trustees).

Our current board is made up of:

Sabbatical Officer Trustees

Student Trustees

  • Three new appointments awaiting ratification from President's Committee in October 2024.

Lay Trustees

  • Eleanor Wheal (Vice Chair)
  • Lee Bird
  • Siobhan Kelly
  • One new appointment awaiting ratification from President's Committee in October 2024.

In addition to this, an advisor from the University attends board meetings but without any voting rights.

The Board meets four times a year.
