Introduction
“We are looking forward to collaborating with the Church and other members of the panel to “Achieve More. Together” to maximise the benefits for the Church.
We understand how important it is to ensure the Church’s Christian ethos is reflected in the advice we provide. We want to help guide you down the road in-keeping with your wider beliefs, whilst building a strong collaborative partnership and working relationship.
The charity sector is at the heart of our business. We relish the opportunity to achieve your integration agenda over the next few years, delivering the benefits of a coordinated legal panel to local churches, Circuits, District and the TMCP.”
