How to become a trustee

The board’s role is to govern Cycling UK and provide overall strategic direction to achieve its aims. The fundamental responsibility of trustees is to look after the resources given to Cycling UK by individuals and organisations, and ensure that these resources are used effectively to achieve the particular purpose for which they were given.

At least eight trustees must be members of Cycling UK, elected by the membership. The board may also co-opt trustees to fill gaps in skills, knowledge and experience.

Each elected trustee serves for a term of up to three years. They may put themselves forward for re-election, subject to a maximum three consecutive terms of office. We hold elections each year, as one or more of our existing trustees comes to the end of their term. Co-opted trustees are reappointed on an annual basis for a maximum of nine years.

All trustees share the same core duties, irrespective of whether they are appointed or elected officers. Trustees must act as a group, not as individuals.
