Operational Working Groups
These are the four volunteer-run operational groups working in the Parish. Each one is concerned with vital work to sustain the Parish and if you are interested in getting involved with any of them, or any other volunteering roles please use this form to let us know. Thank you!
Buildings and Grounds
Join us and play your part in the upkeep of our lovely buildings and surrounding grounds and environmental issues. We meet regularly, but this is also a practical group. So come and help with maintaining our churches as welcoming places for worship and social events.
Children and Youth Outreach
This group encourages, supports and interacts with the work of our Youth Coordinator. It oversees Christian education and the nurture of children and young people. It also initiates and oversees child and youth activities that connect the churches with the wider community. People with a passion for connecting with young people and encouraging volunteers are very welcome. Contact: youth@thebourne.org.uk
Communications
We are a lively group making a valued contribution to the life of the parish, and hope to welcome new members to play their part in the important work of supporting and developing the Parish's formal communication channels. The group seeks to raise a positive profile for the Parish and harness ideas for effective communication, particularly in reaching out to the wider community. Its most prominent aspects are the parish website, and the production of the monthly online newsletter and the magazine. The group is also responsible for other communications channels, as well as liaising with local media. Contact: comms@thebourne.org.uk
Finance, Stewardship and Administration
The team supports the parish vision by focusing on the parish's financial position: overseeing the parish's banking and investment activities; ensuring that management and statutory accounts are prepared; encouraging new givers; administering Gift Aid tax refunds; administering our insurance arrangements; and taking a lead on issues or projects with a financial element.
