Finances at St. Luke's - Start of 2020
What are the challenges for our 2021 finances?
As for many people and organisations, 2020 was a challenging year financially speaking. As a result St. Luke's ended the year owing the Diocese £10,000. 2021 will also be a challenging year. At present we reckon we need an additional £20,000 to £25,000 of one off giving on top of the money people already plan to give and contributions we expect to receive from services to be able to meet our £80,000 budget in full. |
You may ask what the £80,000 pays for. £20,000 goes to the running costs of the church, paying for an administrator for 8 hours a week, the heating, lighting, maintenance and insurance of the church building and various other expenses and running costs.
The rest of our budget goes to the Parish Share - about £60,000, which we pay to the Diocese. So what does the Parish Share pay for?
About £50,000 goes towards the cost of employing the vicar. This is broken down into three parts:
