Treasurer Pilot
Equipping a group of churches to set up a sustainable, accessible financial function.
Several Church leadership teams (Parochial Church Councils) in the Hull deanery find it can be difficult to cover certain administrative process such as the role of Treasurer.
This two year pilot will help a group of parishes where there is a particular need for additional support and Bookkeeping resource.
At the end of the year accounts will be produced, verified and submitted
to the Diocese of York.
Each Parish will still need to nominate a Treasurer who is responsible for sharing regular updates on the finances but they don’t have to be a financial expert.
Treasurers (and the PCC) will be supported throughout so they can interpret the reports they are given and feel confident about the process.
The idea is to provide a central bookkeeping resource, using an accessible, online system which provides monthly reports for the church to share with its PCC.
If someone is keen to take on more responsibility, then the pilot can provide training too.
We really hope this will bless the parishes involved so that leadership has more time to focus on the people in their churches and community.
