Introducing the Trustee Board
The Guild has undergone a review of its governance structures to ensure it complies with relevant legislation and also stay responsive and central to our members needs. The new Charities Act 2006 created an opportunity for the Guild to change its charitable status.
In August 2008, the Guild moved from its previous model of an unincorporated association to become a charitable company limited by guarantee (CLG) and as result; a Trustee Board was established to provide guidance, expertise and strategic oversight of the Guild of Students. The Guild became a charity in 2010.
This decision was made following a Referendum which took place in February 2008 and was approved by over 4000 students, the Executive, Guild Council and the University. Key to the governance review was a need to clarify how decisions were made and by whom, especially in respect to the role of the Trustee Board and Guild Council, the representative body of the Guild.
The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Guild, which is delegated to the Chief Executive and Management Team. They ensure the Guild remains legally compliant and solvent, in accordance with Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Bye-laws and Guidance and Strategy documents.
The Trustee Board is comprised of:
4 Sabbatical Trustees
3 Student Trustees
3 (external) Lay Trustees
3 University Alumni Trustees
1 University Trustee
