Organisational Structure

The Guild is an association with charitable status, governed by a Memorandum of Association & Articles of Association conferring ultimate responsibility for its management and administration on a Council elected by the membership and on Chairs of the Standing Committees.

Each area of The Guild’s activities is overseen by a committee, formed by a variable number of Guild members. The Council consists of three honorary officers (Chair, Honorary Secretary and Treasurer), six members' representatives and two students’ representatives. An Annual General Meeting for the election to these positions is held during the Spring each year.

With the exception of tutors and some part-time staff (a Clinic Co-ordinator, a Senior Administrator, an Administrator, a  Cleaner/Handyman and a Librarian, all organisational activities are undertaken by Guild members and trainees on a voluntary basis.
