P.C.

The Partnership Council (P.C.) acts on behalf of the partner churches in regulatory, oversight and governance roles. Members are nominated from the local churches, elected at the Partnership Annual General Meeting, and normally serve for one year

Regulatory function

The Partnership Council is responsible for all legal aspects of the partnership's work; Child Protection, Employment law, Data Protection etc

The P.C. is the trustee body of the charity.

If this is you, (or may be you next year!) you might find these Charity Commission resources handy:

Trustee expenses and Payment CC11 (read online)

The Anglican Parochial Church Council delegates its activities to the P.C where possible, though Anglican members of the P.C. will act as P.C.C. when necessary.

Oversight function

We act in partnership with the Ministers In Spiritual Oversight of our partnership churches, and their leadership teams and church committees, to help achieve our mission. The Christian community has a duty to worship God and to make disciples of all nations, in most cases this is best achieved locally; in service to our community we often work best together, the P.C. organises our resources. We organise joint meetings and services for the benefit of us all, including the running of Messy Church

The P.C. endorses the appointment of governors to our local Church Schools.

Apart from our essential administrative groups, we support cross-partnership work in running youth groups:

Lunchtime Clubs at Bradon Forest and Greendown Scondary Schools,
Youth Cafe,
remix - for secondary school years 7-10 (ages 11-14), and
TGIF - for school and college students years 11-13 (ages 15-18 or so)
Gen2Gen - cafe style socialising across the generations
Crowdy's Special School workshops

… and children and families ministry with Messy Church.

Governance function

The P.C. is responsible for relationships and partnerships with our Parent Bodies - the wider church, and for working in partnership with other local churches.

The Partnership hold membership rolls in common, we budget our resources across all the partner churches, and we have a single partnership office hosted by Holy Trinity Church, at Shaw village centre

We take responsibility for external communications and are responsible for this website and its content - the workmanship is that of the Web Site Team
