Church Membership at 31.08.2021 was 175

Community Roll Membership at 31.08.2021 was 175 (i.e. those not in formal membership, but who come under the wider influence of the church )

3. Our Aims

BMC has considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion, and we offer the following opportunities to all:

2

4. Our Management

The management of BMC is constituted under the constitutional practice and discipline of the Methodist Church (CPD). BMC is part of the Nottingham Trent Valley Methodist Circuit. Oversight of the whole circuit is provided by a Superintendent Minister.

The General Church Meeting is open to all members of BMC and is held annually “for fellowship, for mutual counsel respecting the condition of the Local Church, including its financial affairs, for the election of church stewards and representatives and for any other purpose which the [Methodist] Conference may direct.” (The Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church 621). This year the meeting was held on Zoom due to the Covid-19 restrictions prevailing at the time. 76 persons attended the meeting.

The Church Council consists of 31 members who take on the role and responsibilities of Managing Trustees. It is chaired by the BMC Minister and met five times in 2020/2021. All five of these meetings were held virtually using Zoom technology. Trustees are recruited from the membership of the Church and one of the trustees is a Circuit Steward. Vacancies are made known to all members of the church, as is the process by which nominations can be made. Some trustees are appointed as a result of the role they fill within the Church (Treasurer, Safeguarding Officer etc.) and others are elected from the membership at the Annual Church Meeting.

A Leadership Team is elected annually at the General Church Meeting, and its ten members (eight stewards, Treasurer and Safeguarding Officer) meet monthly with the Ministerial Team to provide leadership and take operational decisions relating to the church’s daily activity. The Ministerial team currently constitutes one presbyter and a lay Church Support Worker. Pastoral Links are appointed by Church Council and share with the Ministerial Team in the pastoral care of those on the community roll of the church. The Church Treasurer is appointed annually by the Church Council. Sub-Committees of the Church Council address issues relating to staff employment, finance, property, safeguarding, mission and outreach, caring and nurture and pastoral care and report to the Church Council on a regular basis.

There are no serious incidents or other matters that trustees should have reported to the Charity Commission but have not done so. Work continues to ensure that BMC is fully GDPR compliant following further guidance from the national Methodist Church published during the year.

5. Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

3

• 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 applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

6. Our Progress and Achievements during the Year

In common with so many organisations, our work during this year has been seriously impacted by the Covid19 pandemic which has limited the scope of our activities due to the restrictions on activity and behaviour required by the Government. We have sought to identify creative ways in which to serve our members, as well as the local and wider community. A special Covid-19 Team was appointed by the Church Council and delegated to take all decisions necessary to ensure absolute compliance with government requirements with regard to the use of the BMC premises and activities. From July 2021 an easing of the Government restrictions has meant that acts of worship can take place with an unrestricted attendance. There has also been a gradual return by external groups using the church for a wide variety of activities, although inevitably the periods of closure have significantly impacted our income.

All our work is under our vision established in 2016:

Here For You: God is calling us to

A three-year Mission Plan was agreed in December 2020 setting out the key areas of activity during the coming three years, as well as measures for monitoring and evaluation the success of the various activities undertaken.

Offering spiritual nourishment and growth to all

Our services of worship and our Junior Church programme continue to meet the spiritual needs of the congregation. Covid-19 restrictions meant that it was not possible to meet together for worship in person for much of the year and online Zoom services have been provided, enabling over 100 members to join together in a communal act of worship every week. Provision has also been made for those who are not able or wishing to use the technology. A return to in-person worship in July was supplemented with live streaming of the service for those who did not wish to, or could not, attend the services. There are also mid-week opportunities for prayer and reflection with the Open Space service of Holy Communion.

We maintain contact with housebound and infirm worshippers through the weekly distribution of recordings of the Sunday morning service. Prayer requests have been met, either in the services of worship or through the online Prayer Group set up when meeting together became impossible. This Prayer Group continues to meet weekly and receives requests for prayer from members of the congregation and the wider community.

4

Our premises and facilities are available for baptisms, weddings and funerals and for use by outside groups. Our premises are also used weekly by a Korean Christian Church. All of these activities have been impacted by the Covid-19 restrictions, but as at the year-end there are currently no restrictions on such activities taking place or the numbers attending such services.

As a church we offer chaplaincy support to the local Girls’ Brigade Company and host Church Parades for the Boys’ and Girls’ Brigades. One member of the Church is continuing his lay-preacher training programme.

Welcoming and nurturing everyone

In order to strengthen the spiritual and social life of our congregation we have a number of house groups, which meet regularly in homes or on church premises, catering for approximately 250 people. Other groups that met in person on church premises when Covid restrictions permitted included the Singers Group, Men’s Fellowship and the Knit, Natter and Craft Group. The Wesley Guild has taken on a new format. A wellattended walking group also meets monthly. Where possible online Zoom meetings have been held to replace group meetings, but it has not been possible in all cases.

Regular Saturday coffee mornings are held, which are attended by church members and other members of the local community. These were held online for most of the year but from July have been held in person. BMC continues to fund a full-time Church Support Worker to complement the work of our minister and a key area of work in the latter six months of the year has been on establishing and maintaining contact with the church for all its members, including those not able to connect virtually.

Flowers are taken to those on the Community Roll who are in need of cheering, or by way of congratulation. At Christmas, 50 pots of hyacinths are also distributed to the housebound and those who have been bereaved during the year.

BMC became a member of the Inclusive Church Network during the year and is deeply committed to living up to its ideals. In October 2021 it will be considering whether it wishes to sanction same-sex marriage on its premises.

Serving those in our local community

Two weekly Toddler Groups and a Baby Group (ABC) are held throughout term time which provide a meeting place for parents and carers and their pre-school children with a good stock of toys for the children to play with as well as craft activities and singing. Around 80 children and their parents and carers attend every week. These meetings have been taking place in person since July. A Light Party (as an alternative to Halloween) was held for any community members who wished to attend. These events were available at no charge, for members of the church and local community.

The Wholly Ground facility re-opened for coffee, cake, soup and sandwiches on Wednesdays once Government regulations permitted. This provides not only a place to buy food and drink, but also a safe and welcoming place for use by the local community where people can come and chat. Since its opening in late 2017, the number of people using its facilities has continued to increase, with additional events being organised, such as Christmas and summer parties. The monthly Open Space lunch is also very popular, with the 50 available places often being oversubscribed. This is attended by members of the local community, as well as church members.

The BMC premises are used regularly for a wide variety of dramatic and musical productions for all ages, which are well attended by the local community. The much-loved annual pantomime event regretfully could not be held in February.

5

Our church members, strengthened and supported by the church, are involved in many outside activities serving our local community, including the Age UK Nottingham, Beeston Memory Café, Hope Nottingham, Broxtowe Women’s Project, Framework Housing Association, Beeston Benevolent Society, The Leprosy Mission, Beeston and District Civic Society and Amnesty International amongst others.

Our church premises are used by a wide variety of community groups throughout the week, providing a serviced space for a wide range of leisure activities, as well as support for young parents, vulnerable persons and other groups with particular needs.

Being a strong voice for justice

7. Specific Projects in the year 1 September 2020 to 31 August 2021

Further progress has been made on the project to remodel the BMC premises at Chilwell Road. Budget limitations have required us to carry out the work in two separate stages with the first stage focussing on the church sanctuary. Fully costed plans have now been given the necessary Methodist Church approval to proceed and it is anticipated that planning approval will be sought in 2022, with work hopefully beginning later in the year. Over £100,000 has been raised by the congregation. This represents more than half of the local fundraising requirement.

8. BMC Reserves Policy

It is BMC’s policy to aim to hold at least six months general expenditure of £86,000, with a buffer amount to cover unexpected fluctuations in income. Restricted Funds held total £184,000. The sums held in the Restricted Funds are for specific purposes, the main ones being the Church Charities, the Church Support Worker Fund, the Redevelopment Fund and an In/Out Fund, and Internal Organisations. There is a Bequest Fund, which stands at £42,100 of which £4,183 is allocated to towards our Church Support Worker Project and £14,640 towards Dry Rot repairs. The balance is available for the general use of the church, including a major redevelopment of the premises.

9. Appreciation

We would like to thank our small team of paid staff and all the volunteers who work so tirelessly to make our church the vibrant community that it is. In this most difficult of years, we express particular thanks to those who have worked tirelessly to ensure that our buildings and activities remain safe and that a variety of online activities are available for those who are isolated in their own homes.

Beeston Methodist Church Notes to the accounts for year ending 31st August 2021 Note 14. Church Buildings All Methodist properties are owned by the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes but in line with Methodist practice are shown as an asset to individual Churches and have been stated at the Insuran￿ value (being the deemed cost) on transition to FRS102 on 1st September 2016. The insurance value is accepted by the Methodist Church and BMC Trustees as a true reflection of the value of the asset to the ongoing work & witness of Beeston Methodist Church. Although the potential sale price of the site is less than the insurance value, we believe it is the correct figure to use for a working building. Page 11 of20

Restricted Funds are those to which contributions have been made for a specific purpose. A transfer from the Church Support Worker Fund to the General Fund of £27,997 was made to fund the salary of the CSW. The Church Council approved the transfer of £28.182 from the Bequest Fund to the General Fund to offset the deficit in the General Fund caused mainly by the reduction of letting income as a result of the pandemic.
