course description

Dead trustees, defunct contributing organisations, unintelligible language …. Is it time to change?

But, it’s not quite as simple as re-writing the ‘rules’: What can you do? How can you do it?

Time for more fundamental considerations? Who can help?

Come along and find out more about resolving these issue with Martin Rich. Informing Village halls and finding solutions for them take up much of Martin’s time. He can provide advice on governance, management, building works and funding. Working with village hall committees to enhance these key facilities is a major contribution to community sustainability.

*PLEASE NOTE. If you are part of a mission community involved in the Growing the Rural Church Project, please book the DCT members rate and ensure that you include the name of your parish and mission community when booking.
