London Hackspace's ultimate governance lies with the elected Board of Trustees. The trustees exist to ensure the long-term health of the space as an organisation.
Although some trustees are also very active members of the community, it isn't the trustees' duty to handle day-to-day running of the space. This is handled by members themselves.

Trustees are responsible for:
- Making sure that the organisation is operating in accordance with its goals.
- Ensuring that the organisation is financially healthy.
- Setting the constitution and rules of the space, in consultation with the members.
