Governor Meetings

The Council of Governors meets at least four times a year (in public) and Governors also attend the Trust's Annual General Meeting. Members of the public are welcome to observe the meetings - please contact the Corporate Affairs Office to register.

While these meetings are held in public to ensure proceedings can be observed, they are not a meeting for the public. If there is time, the Chair, may, at their discretion, invite any views or questions from the public at the end of the meeting. This is not, however, a requirement and as such is not guaranteed.

If you would like to know more about our Council of Governors or attend one of their meetings, please contact the Corporate Affairs Office.
