Notification of Governor Elections 2025
Nominations are now open for our current round of elections to appoint new governors and fill posts on the Council of Governors. The elections will launch from Tuesday 27 May 2025.
Our Council of Governors is the voice of the people we serve, and it helps set our priorities and plays a key role in the shaping of future services, based on our members’ views.
Each governor has a constituency and is committed to talking to local people to make sure your voices and opinions on the Trust are heard. The Trust’s Constitution sets out the principles of how the Council of Governors is governed.
