The Association of Provincial Bursars was set up in 1982 by religious bursars for religious bursars and exists for the support of its members in their various stewardship roles in Religious Institutes.

Over the years the Association has provided its members with information to this end and has provided working groups to represent the financial and temporal interests of Religious with Central Government, The Charity Commission and other legislative bodies.

The Annual Conference and various study days provide valued opportunities for members to keep their knowledge base up-to-date and to spend time together in a relaxed environment. In between these formal gatherings, a good deal of networking goes on between members across the country and indeed even further afield. We hope that this website will be an additional tool for our registered members to use in the furtherance of their responsibilities and to share with others the benefits of experience.

APB’s conference will take place in London from Monday October 7th through Thursday October 10th. CIIC Founder and CEO/CFO of the Franciscan Sisters of Mary John O'Shaughnessy will be giving the conference’s keynote address on Monday, October 7th, and on Tuesday, October 8th, John will be joined by Bryan Pini and Kayoko Lyojns for a panel on impact investing.
