Officers, Trustees and Staff
Here you can meet the people who lead, govern, and deliver Wolverhampton Students’ Union. This includes elected Officers, our Trustee Board, and the staff team who support students every day.
Trustee Board
Trustees are ultimately responsible, individually and collectively, for all activity within the University of Wolverhampton Students’ Union. Trustees govern and set the long term strategy for the Students’ Union, ensuring we operate in line with our charitable objectives and remain student led.
Trustee Board holds senior management to account and makes sure the Students’ Union remains legally and financially compliant, operating in line with charity and company law and within our governing documents.
Trustee Board consists of four Sabbatical Officers elected by students each Spring, and four lay trustees who are externally recruited.
