2025 AGM

Held every year in each of the Branches within UNISON, AGM’s or Annual General Meetings are an opportunity for ALL Branch members to get much more involved with the Branch and Union as a whole. UNISON Branches are made up of executive committee officers who are voted into each of the positions through a nomination and voting process which is conducted during the AGM cycle. During the AGM, all Branch officer positions are eligible for nominations. A number of Branch officer posts have already been confirmed and filled, the following posts are still vacant:

Full descriptions for all the above Officer posts can be found in the UNISON Code of Good Branch Practice, and also on the UNISON website: https://www.unison.org.uk/about/our-organisation/activists/branch-roles/

If you are interested in becoming more involved with the Branch and a looking to fill one of our vacant Officer posts, please come along to any one of our AGM’s and express your interest. Alternatively, please email or call us for more information.
