The Board was incorporated by the Methodist Church Act 1939.
The Board of Trustees consists of up to 16 members, with equal numbers of ministers and lay persons who are drawn from all walks of life, to maintain a balance of skills in discharging trustee duties. Board members are appointed by the Methodist Conference on the nomination of the Board which seeks to maintain a balance of appropriate professional expertise, Methodist experience and Connexional representation.
The Board is accountable to the whole Methodist Church through its governing body, the Conference, which adopts its annual report. The Report To Conference is principally an account of the Board's general activities, an overall account of funds held, nominations for the appointment of new members of the Board and the full signed audited accounts of its Administration Fund.
The Board meets three times a year and is served by four committees:- an Executive Committee, an Audit and Risk Committee, and Investment Committee and a Grants Committee. All committees are drawn from the Board and Management.
Details of Board members can be found on the Meet the Team page.
