<p>The Church Commissioners and National Church Institutions are in discussions with
dioceses during this challenging period, including on the evolving financial impact.
A series of structured interviews have been held with every diocese, including with
the Diocese of Lichfield at the beginning of May. Though too early for detailed conclusions,
it was clear that the financial challenges will be significant.</p><p> </p><p>The
Church announced a national package of financial support for dioceses on 27 March,
providing funds to support liquidity in dioceses where this was needed, with a further
announcement following on 14 May. See: <a href="https://mailchi.mp/churchofengland.org/update-financial-support-for-dioceses-and-cathedrals-in-light-of-the-coronavirus?e=fbaf3379f3"

We are continuing to consider how best dioceses can be further supported in terms
of both immediate needs, and in strengthening their long-term missional health and
financial sustainability</p><p> </p>
