Structure

.

The Charity is part of Hants-Surrey Borders Methodist Circuit, in the Methodist South East District:

• e Aseparate Pre-School management committee reports to Church Council.

Related Parties

Risk management Proposed actions are discussed in advance by Church Council and delegated committees, and only implemented with their agreement. Professional advice is sought as required. Processes and procedures are regularly reviewed and updated by Church Council Safeguarding policies are implemented by the Church and Circuit Safeguarding Officers, as prescribed by the Methodist Conference.

Objectives and activities

As set out in the Methodist Church Act 1976 (clause 4): Advancement of Religion and any charitable purpose of the Methodist Church or church organisation.

Summary of the Main Activities

• e The provision of regular public acts of worship open to church members and non-members alike. e The teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups. e Pastoral work, including visiting those experiencing health, relationship and bereavement issues. e The provision of clubs and activities with a Christian ethos, for all ages.

• e Supporting other charities and Christian organisations in the UK and overseas, financially and with prayer.

In arranging these activities, the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. Local Methodist Churches, Circuits and Districts are not constituted as external grant making bodies. However, grants and donations are made to support initiatives of the local Christians Together organisation, other Christian charities and in response to national and international emergency appeals.

FLEET METHODIST CHURCH

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (continued)

Most church activity is undertaken by lay volunteers. However, an Administrator is employed by the Church, and a Supervisor and professional staff are employed to operate Pre-School (in accordance with Ofsted requirements). The Children and Families Worker who serves church and community is paid staff of HantsSurrey Border Circuit of the Methodist Church which is partly funded by contributions from this church. The Presbyter (Minister) is paid staff of Hants-Surrey Border Circuit of the Methodist Church which is partly funded by contributions from this church.

Summary of the Main Achievements

• e During the pandemic, a single service at 10:30 was provided when allowed under government covid regulations. In addition we ran a series of Christingle services allowing a safe interaction with families during the Advent period. Weekly on-line services were also provided by the church primarily aimed at those who could not attend due to covid and health restrictions. This service has been well-received with significant numbers of people taking advantage of this provision including many who live across the UK and some overseas.

• e We ran two on-line Zoom courses the first for Advent and the second following the journey from Easter to Pentecost. Both courses were valued by those who participated.

• e We continued to offer regular ‘encounter’ groups, aimed at providing a non-threatening way for newcomers to integrate into church activities and these have met via zoom and face to face when possible.

• ° The usual presentations to local schools on the Christian significance of Christmas and Easter, carried out in conjunction with a local charity (Faccts), could not take place this year due to the pandemic.

• e We provided pastoral help and support to housebound church members, bereaved families and those experiencing other difficulties. In particular we formed a wellbeing group to consider needs of those isolated due to covid and this allowed us to provide help and support that was relevant in the context during the period April to August.

• e We continued to operate a successful Pre-School, which provides great opportunities for outreach and support a significant number of young families in the surrounding community.

• e Junior Church activities for children and young people of all ages were run in parallel with Sunday morning services where possible, then separately via Zoom during lockdowns. We were able to deliver new face to face events for our children and young people from Easter onwards and these new style groups have helped us to understand what our young people have needed as covid restrictions diminished.

• e We continued the operation of Boys’ Brigade and Girls’ Brigade companies as far as we could within pandemic regulations and guidance for safe operation.

• e Through the FMC Mission initiative, provided opportunities for church members, and others, to support mission projects, with the objective of increasing awareness and providing a coordinated financial response. The FMC Mission beneficiary for the year was a local charity ‘Parity for the Disabled’.

Financial review

Statement of the Charity's Policy on Reserves

• e Maintain General Fund reserves equal to6 months normal expenditure. e As far as possible, ensure that property costs (maintenance rather than improvement) are covered by income from lettings (this includes contribution from Pre-School).

• © Promote an Annual Gift Day for specific initiatives of the church e Ensure that, as far as possible, special projects (Pre-School, Boys’ Brigade, Girls’ Brigade) are selffinancing; provide support where necessary.

• e Ensure that Pre-School reserves are sufficient to cover planned or unexpected closure (including redundancy payments to staff).

• ° Set budgets for other church activities/groups, through the allocation of designated reserve funds. ° Finance Committee meets at least three times a year to review the status of reserves and recommend remedial actions and adjustments to Church Council, as necessary.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; e observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; e make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; ° state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements: and

• © prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

10 DESIGNATED FUNDS (continued)

The Property Management Fund tracks income and expenditure relating to the management and maintenance of the church property (buildings, equipment and grounds).

The Property Development Fund contains funds set aside by the trustees for major refurbishment work to the church premises, as well as the proceeds of any external grants received for this purpose. The AV Replacement Fund represents contingency funding set aside for replacement of the church's audio-visual equipment.

The Bequest Fund contains the proceeds of bequests received by the charity.

The Buildings and Equipment Fund tracks the charity's assets, purchases and depreciation.

The Music Fund contains funds to enable the church to buy a new piano.

The Partner Projects Fund contains donations intended to be distributed to specific mission projects, as determined from time to time by the charity trustees (Church Council).

The Mission Projects Fund contains funds collected for distribution to various 'mission' projects nominated by Church Council. The policy is to nominate projects for a 2-year period and to make disbursements once the fund reaches £1,000. This fund supersedes the former Partner Projects fund.

The Emergency Appeals Fund has been created to deal with funds that are collected in connection with local, national or international emergencies, and which are recognised by Church Council as being under its control.

Preschool Income includes an Early Years Education (EYE) grant from the Hampshire County Council totalling £65,231 for the year ended 31st August, 2021.
