    About the committees | Calendar of meetings

    Presbytery organises itself to best support our congregations. To achieve this we identified 8 different areas where people could be involved that would have the most positive impact and so created 8 committees of up to 10 people and a Convener to lead these areas of work. You can find out more by clicking on the committee name to the right. There is also a Safeguarding and Chaplaincy team that works across the Presbytery.
