The trustees of the society have responsibility for making sure our activities and resources are well-directed to meet these charitable aims.
The Society has chosen to adopt the Charity Governance Code and conducts a governance review at least once per year in order to continually improve our governance. Information on our governance procedures and how we use the Charity Governance Code will be published within our trustee annual report.

Trustee Elections
Because of our origins as a grass-roots association, we wanted to put the members in control so we have adopted a governance model with trustees directly elected by the membership. To strike a balance between continuity and new input, trustees are elected for two year terms with half being up for re-election or replacement each year.
The current board was elected in October 2019. Half of the trustees were elected from amongst the founding trustees and half were newly elected. Just under half of those eligible cast a vote: 109 of the 228 members.
Annual General Meeting
The first formal Society AGM was held on Monday 7th September 2020. For more information see the event page. At the AGM the annual Trustee Report and Statement of Accounts were presented.
