UCCF Board Members Resign

More than half the board members of UCCF who initiated an investigation into two staff members nearly a year ago have departed within the last month, it has now emerged.

Five of the nine trustees who were in place last December when the probe was launched – Stephen Rigby, Glynn Harrison, Jenny Charteris, Abigail Joy Marthinet-Glover and John Stevens – have all stepped down since 11th September, with Stevens and Marthinet-Glover resigning yesterday (October 2nd).

UCCF (the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship) aims to ‘help students [in] reaching students with the good news of Jesus,’ its website says. It announced last December that it was suspending two staff members, Richard Cunningham, its National Director, and Tim Rudge, its Field Director, while ‘a formal independent investigation’ was undertaken to ‘establish the facts’ in relation to ‘various allegations’. It was made clear that ‘the allegations do not relate to matters of sexual misconduct.’
