Right. There are three strands to our budget. There is the revenue budget that we receive from Welsh Government. In addition to that, there are targeted funds that are of a specific duration to do a specific job, and then there's external funding that we go out and acquire.
The question really, I think, relates to the first of these, and the answer to that is that a standstill budget leaves us—. It's a slight decrease, because the 3 per cent, for example, that we've had this year in uplift doesn't fully pay for the 3.8 per cent salary settlement, the pay settlement that's being negotiated with the unions at the moment. So, the effect of this is that it constrains our recruitment. We lost five staff to voluntary severance and three who've moved on in the last 12 months, so many of our staff are now doing more than one job—they've had to take on the jobs of those people who've left. We've frozen recruitment partly because of the budget constraints and partly because of the discussions that we're having with Cadw, so we're not sure what the future holds, whether the posts that we need to recruit to will even be necessary in the future, and whether people would be wanting to work for an organisation whose future is uncertain.
So, just in terms of the revenue budget, it's very tight, very difficult, but we manage to work within it. We've been very grateful to Welsh Government for some targeted funding, some quite generous targeted capital funding. We're creating new capital assets by digitising some of the most used parts of the national monuments record of Wales. Those are the aerial photographs, the site files and the pre-Ordnance Survey maps—there are 700 maps. So, we're digitising those and making those available to all users everywhere in Wales on a self-service basis. And that funding has been not only generous and helpful, but we've been encouraged to think that we might get a similar amount of money in the coming financial year.
Then, on the money that we go out and try and raise for ourselves, we're absolutely thrilled that the National Lottery Heritage Fund has given us a grant towards our Capeli Cymru project, which we can go into later, but, effectively, this is to understand better what's happening to chapels in Wales and what the future holds for them.
