CHARITABLE STATUS With effect from 1 January 2025, Penarth Ministry Area will become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, in line with similar changes taking place in other Ministry Areas across the Church in Wales.  This change in status will simplify the governance of the Ministry Area which will be able to manage its affairs in its own name in a manner similar to a company. Our change of legal status will not affect the ongoing work of the Ministry Area in any material respects.
