Example Budget: Spend
|
 |
|
! |
|
|
These figures are based on the budget for 2006. Costs have risen
since then as you can see from our accounts, but the principles and
proportions are still about the same. Predicted expenditure for that
year was £75,000.

|
 |
Clergy expenses for our vicar and our curate, plus the cost of
our administrator and the church office functions (like
copying) come to a combined total of around £10,000. |
 |
Paying for our Youth and Community Worker (who
is a half-time share with Emmanuel School), plus the cost of The
Zone and other youth activities is about £9,500. |
 |
Maintaining and heating the church buildings,
insurance costs and keeping the lights turned on comes to another
£8,000. |
 |
We accept the principle of tithing when it comes to
our own income, so we gave away 10% of what we get to mission causes
- like supporting Alison Fletcher in Uganda or the Tearfund MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY
campaign. |
 |
The project to improve our church entrance (to make it
more accessible for the disabled, for funerals and so on) will cost
approximately £2,600. |
 |
Finally, we will pay a total of £39,000 for what's
known as our Parish Share to Southwell Diocese. These are the
white areas on the chart. The money pays for clergy salary and
pensions, for training new clergy, for community programmes, plus
some support for the diocese itself and a few national
projects. The money also supports church schools like South
Wilford and Emmanuel in our own parish. |
