TRAINING AND SUPPORT

Charity Stewards Conference

On behalf of UGLE the MCF hosts a biennial conference for the Met/ProvGChStwds. The two-day conference is a useful opportunity for delegates to receive training and support, updates and useful information from UGLE, the MCF and external organisations. It also provides a forum for discussion and ideas sharing as well as a chance to socialise with your peers from across the Provinces. The Metropolitan and all Provincial Grand Charity Stewards are invited to attend with one other representative accompanying them.
