Recruitment to Diocesan Committees
The Diocesan Board of Finance (DBF) would not be able to fulfil its functions without volunteer committee members and Chairs who generously give of their time and abilities to help further the diocesan mission purpose.
We currently have vacancies for lay members of the Grants Committee and Finance, Resources & Risk Committee.
Grants Committee: oversees four key grant funds to support parish work - the Mission Fund, Buildings Fund, Net Zero Fund and Offa House Spirituality Capital Fund. The committee meet online six times per year to review and approve applications for each of the parish funds, helping to ensure grant giving is aligned with our strategic aims. We are looking for a further two lay members with experience of one or more of these key areas - missional work and projects, maintenance and management of church buildings, environmental sutainability and carbon reduction.
Finance, Resources & Risk Committee: keeps the long-term sustainability of the DBF under review, ensuring that action is taken to maintain its financial health and to monitor finances, investments, risks and controls. The committee meets at least four times per year. We are looking for a further two lay members with experience of one of more of these key areas - financial management, investment management, risk management. Members may not be members of Bishop's Council.
