CMC Adventure:- Pensarn Harbour Redevelopment Project - Trustee opportunities

The Christian Mountain Centre has obtained planning permission for the redevelopment of our Pensarn Harbour residential site in Eryri (Snowdownia) National Park. Since 1966 CMC has been providing high quality residential outdoor education courses and we have a vision to redevelop our habour side accommodation into a state of the art outdoor education centre - securing vital opportunities for spiritual growth and personal development for generations to come.

We are aware that the project will be complex and costly, but the board and management are convinced that we have been following God’s leading in the planning of this project.

Award Winning Snug Architects, with the approval of the board, have engaged a Quantity Surveyor to work out costings for the project, and invite tenders from contractors.

More information about the project can be found here https://www.snugarchitects.co.uk/our-work/cmc-adventure

Snug Architects will be acting as project managers, but it would be very helpful to the management and the current trustees if we were able to have input and guidance from people with experience of:

Major Building Projects;

Fundraising;

Promotional Work;

Financial Management;

Developing Vision and Strategy.

We ask trustees to bring their significant experience in these areas to the board and aid decision making regarding the project and wider aspects of the organisation. The plan is to set up a sub-committee which will meet online on an ad hoc basis, and will report to the full board of trustees. This will, we hope, make the process quicker and more efficient. It will also allow the board to focus on the considerable operational challenges that only having our Bryn-y-Moel site available to guests.

If you know of any people who have the relevant skills and experience of large scale project management, who could join the board on a voluntary basis during the project please pass this information on to them. As with all things CMC, in keeping with our ethos as a Christian organisation, such people are required to be committed Christians, in order for them to fully understand the vision which drives us as an organisation. We also require all trustees, members and staff to sign a statement of faith.
