How We’re Run

The Guild is led by three elected Officers who have all been studying at UCB. They’re supported by a handful of administrative staff, and joined by other Trustees to oversee the running of the Guild as a charity.

Elected Officers

The Guild is a student-centred, student-led organisation. That means we invite students to put themselves forward every year to stand for an election in which all students at UCB can vote – FE, HE, and Apprentices. The three elected Officers make the political decisions and are responsible for making your views heard at UCB and creating the changes you want to see.

Staff

Supporting the Officers are a small team of staff who administer the day-to-day operations of the Guild. Staff would not normally be involved in representing students, instead they work to develop the Guild’s campaigns or activities behind the scenes. Staff may chip in with training, running the Guild’s elections, and supporting students with complex circumstances.

Trustees

As a Charity, the Guild has a Board of Trustees who oversee the management of the organisation. It’s the responsibility of the Trustees to make sure the Guild is achieving its mission to support students and remains a sustainable organisation. The Trustees have the power to make large changes to the Guild, but in practice many of the decisions directly impacting students are made at Student Council, a Guild Assembly, or by the elected Officers.
