  • maintain stipends at the level recommended for the Eastern Region by the Archbishops' Council.

How our budget is agreed

The annual budget is drawn up after wide consultation across the diocese:

  • At the beginning of each year, budget holders are invited to submit their estimated expenditure for the following financial year, which begins on 1st January.
  • A draft budget is drawn up and put before the Finance Committee, the Bishop's Council and the Diocesan Synod for their consideration during the spring.
  • The Finance Committee then draws up a draft budget which is made available to the Deanary Synods for their comments.
  • These are considered by the Finance Committee when it meets at the beginning of September.
  • Their recommendations are presented at the Diocesan Synod for final approval in October.
