About this consultation

Timetable a) The timetable for the draft 2018 budget was brought forward to help deaneries with their

planning. Rather than the previous arrangement where a draft budget was made available at the end of September which was then agreed in November a request was made that a draft budget be ready for July to afford consultation over the summer for the budget to be agreed at a meeting of the Diocesan Synod in late September.

b) The budget is framed around the following timetable:

NEWCASTLE DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE 2018 BUDGET CONSULTATION

3

Key points

1. Key points for this consultation: Parochial Church Councils and District Church Councils to make a 100%

contribution to the parish share asked of them and allocated to them by their Deanery Synod.

A proposed inflationary uplift in the net Parish Share request of +2.9% plus +1.0% to account for changes with the funding available from the National Church.

Consumer Price Inflation: Source: ons.gov.uk

The proposed net Parish Share request is £5,071,718

Proposal to invest £100K into Strategic Mission Projects1. This includes investment in the Diocese’s first Strategic Development Funding bid2 to develop the city centre priority workstream and provision for smaller mission initiatives across the diocese.

1 This was previously called the Strategic Mission Fund. This document proposes to change the name of the fund to Strategic Mission Projects to focus the fund to local and wider diocesan projects including, but not exclusively, Strategic Development Funding applications with the National Church. 2 A two stage process starting in October 2017 and second stage in May 2018.

Statistic May 2017 May 2016 May 2015 May 2014

CPI 2.9% 0.3% 0.1% 1.5%

The proposed budget for 2018 is a challenging budget for the Diocesan Synod and Board of Finance. The task was to deliver a draft budget to the consultative Finance Synod to be held on 24 July to enable deaneries to better engage with the budget

ahead of decision making in September.

The consultation runs to 10th September to allow the Finance Group to consider submissions and make recommendations to the Bishop’s Council and Board of

Finance which meets on 19th September. A final budget paper will be prepared for the Diocesan Synod’s meeting to be held on 30th September.

The budget has provision for additional work to support the diocesan vision, including funding for an increase in the number of curates in stipendiary training

posts and new posts which are funded by the National Church.

The Board of Finance and Bishop’s Council has given a strong steer that the budget for 2018 must support and help to deliver the vision for a

growing church bringing hope.

2. The table below illustrates the value of the funding we receive from the National

Church through two sources: (i) Lowest Income Communities Funding; and (ii) transitional funding, which is helping the diocese to transition away from funding previously known as a ‘selective allocation’.

Transition Funding Arrangements

Part of the Archbishops’ programme of Renewal & Reform includes changes to the way in which the National Church funds diocesan activities. 2018 is the second year of a ten year transition which reduces the amount of funding the Diocese of Newcastle receives from the National Church. During the transition the Diocese receives an annual reduction in the amount of transition funding, equivalent to an increase of +1.0% to Parish Share annually through to 2026. The transition is illustrated as follows.

3. The proposed expenditure from a different angle:

is our investment in today’s ministry, supporting parish ministry across our communities (including ministry costs, the payment of stipends and the upkeep of provided housing) [see page 6]

is our investment in future ministry including training for ministry, for readers and ordinands (locally and nationally) and the cost of our curates serving in parishes (stipend, pension and housing) [see page 7]

supports bringing hope through partnership activities including resourcing our Education Board, our TASK GROUPS, our work with ecumenical and interfaith both locally and regionally. [see page 8]

supports work we have to do including legal and faculty work, legal work with our Registrar and governance supporting safeguarding and our national church responsibilities. [see page 9]

on supporting the work of the Church of England in this Diocese including staff costs for Church House, North Shields including our Finance, Communications and Human Resources operations. [see page 10]

Incoming resources are detailed on page 11. An overview of diocesan posts (employed) is set out on page 12 and a summary of stipendiary permanent posts is included on page 15

Resourcing permanent clergy posts forms the largest proportion of this budget heading of which 97% is used to resource the direct costs of clergy and chaplains (stipends/salary, employers’ national insurance, pension contributions and housing):

The budget has provision to accommodate an uplift to the diocesan stipend of up to +1.75% with effect from 1 April 2018 (the current full-time stipend is £24,996 p.a. and an envelope of up to a +1.75% increase would give a maximum stipend of £25,433p.a.)

The budget includes the cost of annual membership of the clergy pension scheme (full-time status) increasing from £9,360 p.a. to £9,504 p.a. on 1 April 2018.

Employer national insurance is typically £2,089 p.a.

Basic full-time ministry cost of stipend, pension, ER NIC wef April 2018 would be £37,026

This budget resources 93.0FTE parish clergy and 2.0FTE archdeacons. The vacancy rate is 14.3% (vacancy rate at 31 July 2017 is 16.6%). See page 15 for the current allocation of permanent posts. Work to reduce the vacancy rate requires an investment in today’s ministry to provide sufficient resource to fund stipendiary posts. Included in the heading are 2.5FTE chaplaincy posts (universities and Northumbria Police).

Relocation grants and expenses (£92,000) together with the expenditure for vacant parishes and locums (2018 £44K 2017 was £16K) are included in this budget heading.

The bulk (85%) of the total housing expenditure of £651,750 is for the maintenance, repair and insurance of 153 properties (equivalent to £3,620 per property). These are parsonages, team vicarages and diocesan houses all of which are maintained by the Board of Finance. Although the Board of Finance is responsible for housing the Suffragan Bishop of Berwick, other expenditure supporting the ministry of our Bishops and the stipendiary clergy of St Nicholas’ Cathedral are not funded from this budget. Each has a budget with the Church Commissioners. The remaining 15% covers staffing (2.0FTE) and IT, council tax and water charges for some diocesan houses, glebe costs and other miscellaneous items.

Smaller budget elements include the: (a) Spirituality Adviser (0.33FTE); (b) Retired Clergy Officer; (c) Healing Adviser; (d) Self Supporting Ministers Steering Group; and (e) deliverance ministry.

INVESTMENT IN TODAY’S MINISTRY (see page 13 for greater detail)

Proposed budget for 2018 is £4,633,964 (comparative 2017 budget was £4,466,245)

Comprised of

Clergy Stipends 93.00 FTE stipends within budget

Archdeacons 2.00 FTE

Chaplains (universities and police) 2.50 FTE (employed NDBF funding NDBF & partnership)

Staffing 3.33 FTE (employed NDBF funded from Parish Share)

Staffing 1.30 FTE (employed NDBF funded by third parties)

TOTAL RESOURCE 102.13 FTE


7

This budget heading places an emphasis on our ministry for tomorrow and the bulk of the expenditure relates to stipendiary curates in training together with the relevant pension, national insurance and housing costs. Curates represent a significant investment in ensuring we can provide ministry to the next generation.

Other expenditure relates to Initial Ministerial Education (1, pre ordination and 2, post ordination) together with limited funds to help resource training for lay development and to resource deaneries. Changes to the delivery of IME2 and discipleship training will see the diocese commissioning this delivery rather than delivery via a block grant to Lindisfarne RTP (LRTP). LRTP will continue to deliver IME1 training.

To help resource the diocesan strategic vision the work of the newly established Ministry Council is included here. This is a sub group of the Bishop’s Council and brings together evangelism, children and youth, discipleship, vocations, local ministry and continuing ministerial development to work collaboratively to deliver the vision.

The diocesan contribution (£166K) to the national selection and training for the wider Church of England (of which Newcastle is a subsequent recipient) is included in this heading.

Resourcing of our stewardship activities including staffing is included in this heading.

An additional post within this heading for 2018 is the Diocesan Director of Ordinands. This post, previously funded from the Diocesan Bishop’s budget, moves into the diocesan budget for 2018 onwards.

In addition, the National Church has agreed to part fund a Programme & Strategy Manager to oversee the delivery of the strategic vision. This post is located in this budget heading and is funded 30% diocese 70% National Church.

BUILDING CAPACITY FOR TOMORROW’S CHURCH

See page 13 for greater detail

Total budget for 2018 is £1,575,297(comparative 2017 budget was £1,424,535)

Comprised of

Curates Stipends 16.00 FTE stipends within budget

Staffing: 5.10 FTE (employed by NDBF and funded from Parish Share)

Staffing 3.20 FTE (employed by NDBF and funded by third parties)

Total headcount 24.30 FTE


8

This budget heading places an emphasis on our engagement with society through partnership working. The budget represents 3% of overall diocesan expenditure and includes the employed posts for Church in Society (0.50 FTE); PARTNERS Officer (0.33FTE) and the Interfaith Officer (0.53FTE). The latter is engaged in diocesan activities associated with the Committee for Interfaith and Ethnic Relations (CIFER) as well as resourcing the secretariat for the Newcastle Council of Faiths.

The principal item of expenditure is a contribution to the work of the Newcastle Diocesan Education Board (NDEB), a separate charity and company, which supports Church Schools across the Diocese. NDEB has an agreement with the Diocese of Durham and together the two organisations form the Joint Education Team (JET), located at Church House, North Shields. NDEB is the managing employer of the staff employed within JET. Although the proposal is to freeze the grant at 2017 levels it is recognised that there are in-kind contributions to the NEDB through the support the Board of Finance provides via Communications and Human Resources without charge. Investment by the NDBF in Human Resources and the proposal to increase capacity in Communications has and will continue to benefit NDEB. (Previous history of the grant funding:

2015 was £120K; 2016 was £150K and 2017 £152K).

Proposed changes for this budget heading in 2018 are the inclusion of a £10K grant for the work of Together Newcastle, a joint venture between the Church Urban Fund and the Diocese of Newcastle. The work of Together Newcastle is across all parts of the diocese. This consultation proposes a reduction to the grant to the retreat house at Shepherds Dene from £12K in 2017 to £5K in 2018.

Cornerstone, a project in the West End of Newcastle has traditionally received grant funding to support one post within the project. The post holder has retired and this consultation proposes no further grant funding be made from the diocesan budget to Cornerstone (2017 was £30K, 2018 £nil).

North East Churches Acting Together (NECAT) requested a +27% increase to the 2017 grant to lift it to £11,462. However, the NDBF currently funds 25% of NECAT (Durham funds 21%) and this consultation proposes to restrict the grant at the 2017 level of £9K, i.e. no change.

£15K is allocated to TASK GROUPS to resource running costs and activities. Of the £15K granted in 2017 the Botswana Task Group accounted for 28%, Interfaith 11% and 17% for Poverty Action and Estates & Urban.

Bringing hope through partnership (see page 14 for greater detail)

Total budget for 2018 is £263,645 (comparative 2017 budget was £289,651)

Staffing = 1.03 FTE (directly employed by NDBF and funded from Parish Share) Staffing = 0.33 FTE (directly employed by NDBF and funded by third parties)

This budget heading places an emphasis on items that are essential functions supporting mission activities across all parishes and diocesan structures.

For 2018 there is a proposal to increase the employed resource within our Safeguarding Team with the addition of a new post of Deputy Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser. This post adds 21 hours per week of capacity to our small team which is currently staffed by the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser (21hrs/week), administrative support (8hrs/week) and some additional capacity through a consultancy. This new post will support parish activities through policy, casework and training requirements as well as enabling succession planning and reducing the number of additional hours that are worked by the existing Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser.

This budget heading also includes the work of the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) and the Diocesan Mission & Pastoral Committee (DMPC) (£42K in total). No changes to these aspects of work are proposed for 2018.

The Registrar (and Registry) is resourced from this budget heading (£81K).

The significant expenditure under this budget heading is the contribution to the wider Church of England (National Church Responsibilities) £204,449. This is part of the Apportionment agreed by the General Synod at its sitting in July 2017. For clarity, the whole sum is divided as follows:

the national administration (£132,453)

national grants and provisions (£14,443)

pension contributions for mission agencies (£1,620)

the CHARM Housing Scheme for clergy in retirement (£55,933).

Our own Boards & Committee expenditure of £23K is included in this heading. This provides not only for our boards (e.g. Diocesan Synod) but also the costs for General Synod, borne by dioceses including the expenses of elected representatives attending General Synod.

Essential legal and governance supporting our mission (for detail see page 14)

Total budget for 2018 is £425,138 (comparative 2017 budget was £388,683)

Staffing = 2.43FTE (directly employed by NDBF and funded from Parish Share)


10

This budget heading places an emphasis on work that supports the diocese and is not limited to Church House administration.

Staff employed by the Board of Finance, travel and training

Phone, postage, printing and stationery

Annual audit, depreciation and miscellaneous

IT infrastructure supporting Church House, Archdeacons’ Offices and remote

workers.

Church House energy costs, repairs, maintenance and insurance

For 2018 the work from three areas: (i) Communications; (ii) Pastoral Care and Counselling; (iii) Inspired North East together with Church House activities, including the Diocesan Secretary, fall within this budget heading.

For 2018 there is a proposal for one new part-time post to provide support for the recently appointed Head of Communications. This proposal is for +0.60FTE (3 days) and would add capacity to enable the team to deliver the day-to-day communication responsibilities including increased social media engagement and web content.

Although administration increases by +0.58FTE this is due, in the main, to a change from a part-time administration post to a full-time apprenticeship. Overall expenditure for administration is broadly in line with 2017.

Church House at North Shields is the administrative home for resourcing diocesan activities and provides accommodation for the following, separate, organisation: (i) the Newcastle Diocesan Education Board and Joint Education Team; (ii) the Lindisfarne Regional Training Partnership (LRTP); and the North East Religious Resources Centre, all of which are helping parishes across the Diocese with mission activities. The organisations make a contribution towards their occupancy costs but all recognise the Diocese of Newcastle makes a significant in-kind contribution to support these areas of work. In addition, PARTNERS, LRTP and the Diocesan Society make contributions towards the employment costs of Board of Finance staff engaged in activities associated with each organisation.

SUPPORTING A GROWING CHURCH (for greater detail see page 15)

Total budget is £704,431 (comparative 2017 budget was £676,528)

Staffing: 10.4 FTE (directly employed by NDBF and funded from Parish Share) Staffing: 2.0 FTE (directly employed by NDBF and funded by third parties)

The Finance Group has recognised that income from other sources is decreasing and, as a

result, that new forms of more sustainable income need to be found. The Group will challenge

other areas of work, e.g. Houses & Glebe, to increase income from other sources to

supplement the income from Parish Share receipts in addition to continuing to seek further

internal economies.

a) Clergy Fees: NDBF receives a fee for services for weddings and funerals. Fee receipts

in 2017 have been less than budget. Budget 2018 -9.1% at £360K (2017 was £396K).

b) Chaplaincy Income: We work in partnership with several institutions and

contributions are received to help to fund the stipends of four of our clergy who work

as chaplains. Two are based in the Newcastle Universities, one is the Police Chaplain

and the fourth is a hospital chaplain. Budget 2018 +0.6% at £73,000 (2017 was £72,550).

c) Rental Income: NDBF receives rental income from its glebe assets and from parsonage

houses (usually when there is an interregnum). Small contributions are also received

from the partner organisations based at Church House (LRTP, Education and the

Resources Centre) towards their occupancy costs. Budget 2018 +3.5% at £195,000 (2017 was £188,365).

d) Investment Income: Mainly dividends from our share investments with CCLA plus a

relatively small amount of interest from deposits, bank accounts and loans to

parishes.Budget 2018 +1.7% at £120,000 (2017 was £118,000).

e) Grants: We are confident that the Lord Crewe Charity will grant a further £120K in 2018. The Trustees ask us to ensure that the grant is used specifically to benefit our clergy and we link this to our expenditure on Clergy Counselling, Support for Clergy and to resource Continuing Ministerial Development expenditure. This budget line also includes income from Heritage Lottery Funding (HLF) to help to fund the principal officer for Inspired North East. The reduction in 2018 is due to the loss of income from Marshall’s Charity (£7.5K). Budget 2018 -3.8% at £165,000 (2017 was £171,464).

f) Other Income: The largest amount within this heading is a grant from Winchester Diocese (£37,500, reduction is expected but is subject to confirmation) which has traditionally supported ministry in our most deprived areas. Other sources of income include contributions from Newcastle Diocesan Society and Lindisfarne RTP towards staffing costs at Church House for support given by our Finance Team. Budget 2018 -34.4% at £64,100 (2017 was £96,700)

TRANSFERS INWARDS from other FUNDS: £132K in 2018

To help to resource various activities, the proposed budget assumes that £132,003 will be transferred into the NDBF General Fund from the Mission Development Fund, the Allchurches (EIG) Fund and the Partners Fund (PICA)

INCOMING RESOURCES (for greater detail see page 16)

This section explains other incoming resources. Parish Share and National Church income is included on page 16.
