  1. LDBF Financing mission and ministry in the Diocese of Leicester

  2. 5 year history2003 to 2007 • Assets • Income • Expenditure

  3. Summary Overview - Assets • We have a sound asset base which has been growing in value. • Asset value growth comes from the sale of property at above book value, as well as stock market gains. • Much of the asset base is in property and investment of restricted and designated funds. • The last 5 years have seen significant gains in capital values for both investments and property, this may not continue. • Income from these investments is increasingly important in maintaining a balanced budget

  4. Summary Cash Flow and Assets • Cumulative cash flow 2003 to 2007 £3.1 million. • 2007 loan (£0.5 million) to Launde from capital cash flow. • 2008 loan (£0.5 million) to Cathedral Square project • Net assets increased by £13 million 2003 to 2007 ( glebe appreciation on disposal and stock market gain).

  5. Summary Overview –Income and Expenditure 2003 to 2007 • Over the last 4 years income and expenditure have largely matched each other, surpluses being set aside to cover short term fluctuations in cost and income. • Parish share income increased by an average of 3.6% per annum (2007 by 1.4%). • Parish related expenditure has increased by an average of 1.9% per annum. • Income from Central Church and LDBF investments has increased by an average of 8.3% and 10.5% per annum respectively. • BUT • During 2007 income increased by only 1.4% whilst expenditure increased by 5.6%. • The main increases in expenditure in 2007 were Parish related (housing and stipend) 5%, Central Admin. and Governance 6.7%, Board of Ministry 10.8%, and Grants 20.6%.

  6. 2008 forecast • The capital base has continued to grow, income from investments will exceed budget. • The growth in expenditure ( clergy related, youth work and grants) will exceed the growth in income for the second year in a row. • The out turn for 2008 may be close to breakeven despite expenditure being forecast to increase by 4.3% and parish share income forecast to increase by only 0.5% • In the longer term, unless parish share income can be increased, the current costs will significantly exceed income when clergy vacancy rates fall.

  7. 2009Budget Summary • Will be a difficult year with the serious national and international economic situation affecting many people • The proposal is for a broadly balanced budget without compromising the mission and ministry priorities of the diocese • Income from national church and investments will underpin the budget, at least for 2009 • Parish share receipts are uncertain, the response to the giving initiative will be significant in enabling the future work of the diocese • Clergy stipends are be budgeted at around cost inflation (4%), clergy housing costs increase by over 7% - utility and building costs • Diocesan costs, other than clergy related costs, are held at a 1% increase over the 2008 forecast level • Reserved surpluses from previous “good” years provide a short term contingency
