Llandaff Cathedral is planning a financial overhaul to protect the future of its ministry.
It is taking action to increase income and reduce expenditure in order to tackle a significant budget deficit.
Parishioners have already been asked to increase their weekly giving and cutbacks have been made to save on energy bills and staffing costs.
Now the Dean and Chapter are proposing slimming down the Cathedral Choir in order to save nearly £50,000 which would significantly cut down the anticipated deficit of £81,000. Seven men ”“ five lay clerks, one choral scholar and the assistant organist”“ are at risk of redundancy and will be invited to take part in consultation meetings over the next few weeks.
