Charity status also requires us to have a Board of Trustees, which ensures we comply with legal, financial and reputational guidelines, and which is made up of five full-time Sabbatical Officers, four student trustees and four external trustees.
We have a team of five dedicated elected Sabbatical Officers elected to represent students to ensure that students’ ideas, needs and wants are being acted upon and developed. Sabbatical officers take a year out of their studies (or immediately after graduating) to serve as an Officer and trustee Supporting the Sabbatical Officers are the Students’ Union professional

This means that the Sabbatical Officers sit on University Committees and pass on students’ opinions about decisions and changes They also meet with the local Council and NUS to tell them what students think on certain issues We run Student Council, and the Course Rep Scheme and have elected student led committees and project leaders running our clubs’ societies and volunteering projects to represent different student groups, and to make sure that students have a voice and that it is listened to across the University and are part of organising campaigns and events
WE’RE INDEPENDENT FROM THE UNIVERSITY
WE REPRESENT STUDENTS
Whilst we work closely with departments from all across the University, technically we are a separate organisation. This is important for several reasons, but mainly it means that if students have a problem while at the University whether that is their course, accommodation, library or other issues they can come and talk to us. And they can do this in the confidence that we can take up the issue with the University and help to resolve it.
