We’ve just published our 2020 BMC members’ handbook online. You can read it for free through our app or in a browser. Find out all the details.

Each year, we publish the BMC members’ handbook. This is packed full of stories, essential skills, event and information, bringing the varied work of the BMC to life.

The 2020 edition is a little late, as we had to re-write a lot of it due to Coronavirus, but we’re pleased to say that it’s now out and looking great. 

To celebrate and promote the diversity of our work, this issue is free to view in a browser or download using the Summit app - you won't need your membership number.

Have a read, and share the link to spread our message.
