Candidates announced

On 15 January 2025, UKCP announced the candidates running for the positions of chair and trustee of UKCP (three elected positions).

We received two nominations for chair and three for the trustee role. We will therefore have a contested election for chair and trustee. The nominee for vice chair, Will Daniel-Braham, is elected unopposed.
