Managing Trustees may recall that for some time TMCP has been considering training for data champions. We now have a good number of data champions across the Connexion and it’s also over a year since GDPR came into force. In light of this TMCP have now put together a programme for relevant training for those Managing Trustees involved in data protection.

The following new data protection resources are now available to Managing Trustees via the Data Protection page on the TMCP website: Processor Record for Methodist Managing Trustees – new “Standard Document” and accompanying webpage.

For half a century it has been possible for Churches in England and Wales to share church buildings, in accordance with the Sharing of Church Buildings Act 1969.

The Conference Office at Methodist Church House would like to draw Managing Trustees’ attention to a new resource to help apply good charity governance which is now accessible from the Methodist Church Website.

The Connexional Team have produced new guidance on Circuit amalgamations available on the Methodist Church Website.

As you will all be aware the annual Methodist Conference starts on 27th June 2019. We are sure that many of you will either be attending the Conference, listening to or watching the live feed, or keeping up to date with what is happening on social media. Representatives from TMCP and the Panel of Solicitors will be in attendance at the Conference this year.
