| The Standard Licence was last updated on 29th July 2026 to insert a new “Environmental Commitment” clause to highlight the Church’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions and promote climate justice. |
The Standard Licence has been produced for Methodist Managing Trustees. The agreement is designed to document use of Methodist premises by third parties on a regular but part-time and non-exclusive basis e.g. an independently run craft group held for a couple of hours each week.
