Board of Finance
The principal aim of the Board of Finance is the promotion of the work of the Church of England in the Diocese of St Albans which covers Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and part of the London Borough of Barnet. This objective is achieved by the collection of contributions from parishes via the Parish Share to support parochial mission and ministry, primarily by paying and housing parochial clergy and supporting the statutory and non-statutory work of the Diocese.
The board also holds properties and investments in support of the clergy in the Diocese and also as Custodian Trustee on behalf of parish trusts.
In addition to the support of local Anglican churches, the charity also works in partnership with other denominations in both local and countrywide ecumenical projects.The Board is responsible for preparing the annual budget and accounts of the Diocese and acts in accordance with the policy and directives of the Diocesan Synod. It employs professional staff to serve the various diocesan boards and committees.
