Gloucestershire Spiritual Direction Trust –

Trustees Report 2023

Reports for 2023 :

Finance Report : Ann Morris

The overall position of the Trust at the end of December 2023:

The year started with £12261 in the bank accounts and ended the year with £15697 – very satisfactory!

We received £1072 from the closure of the Spirituality Network for Gloucestershire, who trust us to further the support of spirituality in our area. I allocated this money to the directory/ECSD pot. Much of the extra money in the bank account comes from the work of the course, A Companion’ Way. We have agreed that the Ecumenical Community of Spiritual Directors will host events that are self-supporting. We will propose a small annual membership fee to cover administration and website costs.

The financial position of the two years of Course L – 2022-3, the first blended course. The facilitators set the fees on an estimated budget based on the previous in-person course, balancing the savings made by not having a regular venue, less facilitator travel, but with more spent on weekends (an introductory weekend, and IGR and a workshop weekend). We hoped to break even with a minimum number of 12 students, but supported 17 participants.

We were prepared to make a small loss, seed money to experiment with this new format. However, because of the prudence of the team, the course ended with an excess of income over expenditure of £5372 over the two years. This will help fund any shortfall in Course M.

Fees received £27,875 Costs included: Website £1075 Zoom £631 Retreats £15280 Workshops £1513 Visiting Tutors £533 Facilitator expenses (travel, printing etc) £1180 Honorarium £2100

A breakdown of the Trust’s Cash Asset available to fund each department to help with any financial decisions the Trustees may need to make.

Administration £216 Directory and ECSD (Ecumenical Community) £1561 Course £13920

The Trustees are now in the process of setting an annual budget to future proof the finances and attract income.

A Companion’s Way: Siobhan Smith

Course L was our first blended course – on Zoom and in person events. It has proven to be a successful and enjoyable way of being a learning community.

Course M was due to start at the beginning of 2024 – but due to a glitch on the website – seekers were unable to apply for several months. As there were only 8 applicants in January, the course start date was postponed, and will begin in May 2024 with 16 participants.

Joe Neary has joined the facilitator team, and two former participants on course L have divided up the administrative tasks between them to support the facilitators – Caroline Gilderdale and Ann Bulley.

Ecumenical Community of Spiritual Directors : Lynda Fisher

Potential SDs showing interest in joining – 2

Total on the Directory currently – 82

GL postcodes – 39 (indicates how the sharing of this ministry is changing – from local area – now we have directors listed on the Directory from Wales – the furthest lives in Orkney – Enquirers – 56

Work will continue during 2024 to revise the Directory to confirm active directors. Plus revamping the master forms – application and seeking a spiritual director – to make the process more user friendly and comply with data protection.

Supervision: Chris Mason

Chris Mason continues to hold the brief for the continuation and development of Supervision.

  1. Receiving requests for supervision

  2. Supporting supervisors informally

  3. Arranging opportunities for personal development (CPD) in a reflective practice group meeting 2/3 times year

  4. Creating and maintaining a database of names, experience, training, mode of work (1:1 and groups) policy on donations

Work for 2024

Develop the list of trained Supervisors
