Trustee board and financial reports
Trustee minutes
AUBSU is a Charity, and as part of Charity Law we must have a Trustee Board. The Trustee Board oversees the strategic development of the SU and its financial accounts. Below are minutes from our Trustee meetings so that all students can see how we've been spending our money, our plans for future expenditure and where we see the SU developing in terms of staff and services provided over the next few years.

AUBSU & Trustees
Under the governing document of The Arts University Bournemouth Students’ Union, The Constitution, Trustees are the people who have overall responsibility oversight of The Arts University Bournemouth Students’ Union. The Students’ Union became a charity in its legal right in 2012, registering with the Charities Commission and moving away from the umbrella of the University in terms of its own status. AUBSU has three external trustees, three student trustees and two Sabbatical Officer trustees, who are ex officio.

- Being the recognised representative channel between students and AUB and any other external bodies; and
- Providing social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities and forums for discussion and debate for the personal development of its students.
General responsibilities of a Trustee include:
- To ensure that The Arts University Bournemouth Students’ Union pursues its objects as defined in its governing document (e.g. the promotion of any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in the district of Bournemouth and surrounding areas and in particular the advancement of education and the protection of health)
- To maintain proper financial control and ensure that The Arts University Bournemouth Students’ Union applies its resources exclusively in pursuance of its objects i.e. the charity must not spend money on activities that are not included in its objects, no matter how worthwhile or charitable those activities area
- To maintain effective board performance and ensure the effective and efficient administration of the charity including funding, insurance and premises
- To promote The Arts University Bournemouth Students’ Union
