The Chester & Delamere Forest Circuit Service at Helsby Methodist Church on 12th January launched the Circuit Project - 'Transforming Women's Lives in Afghanistan' - with a speaker from Christian Aid. The collection raised over £550 to get us under way to try and reach our £10,000 target over the next twelve months or so.

During our annual Covenant Service on 19th January, led by Rev'd. Denise Harding, we officially launched our Church Charity for 2014, the Warrington-based Tim Parry and Johnathan Ball Foundation for Peace. See here for more details. 

The Methodist Church of Britain aims to review all 'safeguarding cases' since 1950. For the purposes of the review, a 'safeguarding concern' is defined as any concern that a child or adult may be at risk, be suffering or have suffered abuse, or that someone represents a risk of abuse to others.

Anyone who would appreciate support through this difficult process should contact either their District Safeguarding Coordinators  or Hilary Walker and Brendan Stephens on 0207 486 5502 or e-mail pastcasesreview@methodistchurch.org.uk

Please look here for all the information you may require (or contact Revd Denise Harding if you do not have internet access):

In particular, please feel free to complete the response form and send it in either by email to pastcasesreview@methodistchurch.org.uk or post it to Methodist Church House, 25 Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5JR.

Please send responses before the end of February if possible.

For further questions please contact Patricia Tagumigwa, Past Cases Review assistant, via Methodist Church helpdesk 020 7486 5502 or e-mail pastcasesreview@methodistchurch.org.uk
