The Students' Union's work is driven by a vision of students at the heart of everything at York. As a registered charity that's made up of elected student representatives, ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± is an entirely independant organisation with a range of mechanisms to ensure students' opinions steer our work.
Your Representatives

Our Trustee Board
The Trustee Board is the Union's main governing body responsible for overseeing the work of the Union and setting the strategic direction. The Board holld ultimare reponsibility for the financial health, legal compliance and development of the Union.
With a combination of elected and appointed members, ¸Û²Ê¿ª½±'s Board brings internal knowledge and external experience together to make key decisions about the organisation, ensuring it is well-run and always acting in the best interests of students.
