Across the diocese
In 2005, the latest year for which we have
figures, the number of people attending Church at
some point in an average week was 17,553.
This was an increase of 5 from 2004.
This included 3,300 children and young people
(aged under 16), an increase of 14.

Across the diocese
Collectively we contributed 4.5m in Share, This
is not only 263,000 or 6.1 higher than 2005,
but also increasing our collection rate,
including arrears, by 1 to 94. To those who
sacrificially gave their time, energies and
money, thank you. Alastair Findlay DBF Chairs

the diocese mean for my deanery?

• effect on Share
• Evesham 17,627 4.44
• Pershore 17,851 3.95

• BUT!
• These are provisional figures as the 2006
  attendance figures have not yet been factored in.
• Diocesan Synod will approve a budget in November.

26
But arent the options very marginal?
Yes, which is why longer term planning is
important

• Looking to the Future in the Deanery is our
  strategy for handling resources at local level

• The Taylor Report is our strategy for diocesan
  ministry

• Shaping up for Mission is our medium term
  strategy

27
Sustainability Opportunity

• What would we do if we had less or more income of
  between 100K and 500K per annum over the period
  2007-12?
• The Archdeacons and Diocesan Secretary, in
  consultation with the Diocesan Pastoral
  Committee, have identified options capable of
  implementation in 2007 and beyond, minimising any
  pain to individuals, parishes, diocese and the
  community that we are called to serve.

28
What could be done with more or less money?
Options Comments
500,000 400,000 300,000 200,000
100,000
Budget plans level
- 100,000 - 200,000 - 300,000 - 400,000 -
500,000
29
If we had less income
Budget plans level
- 100,000

• Moratorium on discretionary grants (8K)
• In 2007 defer clergy housing external
  decorations programme by one year (54K)
• Change policy re parsonages fences and gardens
  work (15K)

• Counterproductive to development
• Complicates programmes for clergy and office
  staff

• In 2008/9 have freeze on stipends salaries (c
  110K)
• In 2008 defer clergy housing quinquennials
  programme by one year (175K)

- 200,000

• Major issues for morale.
• One off only, and issues for morale. Some risk to
  long term costs.

- 300,000

• Wider scale early retirement etc programme
• And/or job cuts in parochial and diocesan work.
  (30K per post?)

• Initial consideration of costs indicates a
  gearing of circa 1 cost for a 2 saving, but
  costs loaded upfront, say per annum saving 15K
  per post.
• Major disruption to staffing plans - deaneries
  diocesan office

- 400,000
- 500,000

If we had more income
500,000
400,000

• Very significant mission opportunities

• More as below
• climate change upgrading of clergy houses

100,000

• Deploy Deanery / Parish posts of eg
• Youth / childrens workers (say 30K? each)
• Administrators (say 10K p/t each)
• Additional lay clergy training (say 20K?)

• Relates to Looking to the Future in the Deanery

First to the LordHow close are we to 5 giving?

• From the 2005 figures for planned givers
• Diocesan Average 7.16 per week
• About 3.2 of estimated average net income

• Evesham 5.92 (2.2)
• Pershore 5.99 (2.3)

35

• To increase to 5 would result in

• extra 195,000 to PCCs in Evesham
• extra 290,000 to PCCs in Pershore

• thats 1.6 million extra across all the parishes
  of the diocese.

36

giving going but..
