Board of Finance
The financial affairs and assets of the diocese are managed by the Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance. It was incorporated in 1915 as a company limited by guarantee (No. 139557) and its governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association which you can download below, along with the diocesan calendar of meetings. The board is also registered with the Charity Commission (No. 249398). The Board is concerned with the budget, payment of stipends, parish share collection, employment of salaried staff, and clergy housing. Members of the Bishop’s Council act as the board’s directors.
