Finance

On 20th May, we were fortunate to be joined by David Smith, Chairman of the Diocesan Board of Finance, who explained his role to us and assured us that he was hoping for an increase of below 1% for the 2010 Diocesan budget.

We also heard from members of the deanery, about the financial challenges they faced in their own parishes and ways in which people were meeting these challenges. In the discussion that followed, it was suggested that a blog may be a useful forum for members and church treasurers to share ideas and help each other. If you have a tip you could share with other churches or a financial issue you would like to share please post a comment by clicking the link below. Remember to check back regularly to see the suggestions from other churches.
