The Union’s Memorandum and Articles is a document which forms the Union’s constitution, defines the responsibilities of the Board of Trustees, the type of business the Union may undertake and the means by which the Board of Trustees is held accountable by the students. The Articles require that the Memorandum and Articles are reviewed every five years.
A review has been undertaken and was submitted to the Board of Trustees in September 2024. Following this, the proposed changes were published to students for a one month consultation period.
One amendment was proposed during the consultation period. In accordance with the procedure in the Articles this was taken to Student Senate for consideration, and rejected.
A summary of the changes proposed by the Board of Trustees, as well as a full copy of the proposed Memorandum and Articles of Association, can be found below. Please note that as the consultation period has closed, it will not be open to AGM to propose further changes.

How we’re run
Mae Memorandwm ac Erthyglau’r Undeb yn ddogfen sy’n ffurfio cyfansoddiad yr Undeb, ac yn diffinio cyfrifoldebau’r Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr, y math o fusnes y mae’r Undeb yn ei gyflawni, a sut mae’r Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr wedi’i gadw’n atebol gan fyfyrwyr. Mae’r Erthyglau yn gofyn i’r Memorandwm ac Erthyglau cael eu hadolygu bob pum mlynedd.
Mae adolygiad wedi cael ei gwblhau a gafodd ei gyflwyno i’r Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr ym mis Medi 2024. Yn dilyn hyn, cyhoeddwyd y newidiadau arfaethedig i fyfyrwyr ar gyfer cyfnod ymgynghori o un mis.
Cynigiwyd un diwygiad yn ystod y cyfnod ymgynghori. Yn unol â’r weithdrefn yn yr Erthyglau mae hyn wedi cael ei ystyried gan Senedd y Myfyrwyr, a’i wrthod.
Gellir canfod crynodeb o’r newidiadau wedi’u cynnig gan y Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr, ynghyd â chopi llawn o’r Memorandwm ac Erthyglau Cymdeithasu arfaethedig isod. Nodwch fod y cyfnod ymgynghori wedi cau, a ni fydd modd i'r CCB cynnig diwygiadau pellach.
