Our Trustees

Who we are

The UniBrass Foundation is led by a board of trustees, all of whom are passionate about promoting brass bands within universities. They are collectively responsible for running the charity and helping it meet its charitable objectives. Some of the trustees are previous members of the organising committee, whilst others have come from a diverse range of backgrounds and help promote the work of the charity.

 Trustees are elected at the Foundation’s AGM to serve for a term of 3 years, according to the UniBrass Foundation’s constitution. In addition, there are two ex-officio trustee positions which are reserved for the Chair and the Treasurer of the current organising committee, and a position for a non-voting board member, who is nominated by Brass Bands England.
