The Union is run by students for students, this includes an annual report from Trustees, an update on how the SU has been running for the last year, The Union' financial statements, and students voting on the union's affiliations as well as other motions that have been submitted. The AGM is an opportunity for you to have your say in the direction of the Students’ Union.
