What is Union Council?

Here at Christ Church we have a democratic structure called Union Council which proposes, debates and decides policy for the Union. The Council meets at least 5 times a year and makes really important decisions that can really change the lives of Students. The Council also runs campaigns to change things for the better of the student experience and the community, and to create awareness about issues which matter to you.

What does a member of Union Council do?
