According to the CCCBR website it:

Considers and advises on all matters concerning churches affected by 
redundancy, having where necessary the power to act on behalf of the 
Council. It develops and maintains contact with the statutory bodies 
charged with dealing with redundant churches, providing advice as 
necessary, and produces periodic reviews of the situation concerning 
bells in churches affected by redundancy, in order to promote an 
awareness of the problem among ringers generally.

>From listening to the members and reading their reports at CC 
Meetings they acknowledge fully the marvellous job that David Kelly 
does in terms of finding new home for bells and that their job is 
made considerably easier by his work. It is just that there is more 
than simply rehoming bells, as can be seen from their terms of 
reference above.
