Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership is now a registered charity

The November issue of the Partnership Newsletter has been published. Among the news items is the fact that Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership is now registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.

We are a Charitable incorporated Organisation and any funding requests need to use this registration information rather than the governing document as in the past. This makes bidding for funding much easier.

Thank you to all six congregations for contributions on what the future ministry in SEP could look like. The Standing Committee discussed your points on Thursday 27th October and will determine a way forward at the Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership Council meeting on Thursday 17th November

We will put the outcome in the December newsletter and  reps will also be able to let people know what will happen next.
