**Section B              Structure, governance and management** 

## **Description of the charity’s trusts** 

Type of governing document 

- (eg. trust deed, constitution) 

How the charity is constituted 

Alton Methodist Church is governed by Statutory Instruments 1996 Number 180, as amended by Statutory Instruments 2007 Number 2655. 

Trust 

- (eg. trust, association, company) 

Trustee selection methods 

- (eg. appointed by, elected by) 

Election by the Church’s Annual Meeting. Vacancies that arise during the year can be filled by election at a Church Council meeting. 

## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: 

- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; 

- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; 

- relationship with any related parties; 

- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. 

Alton Methodist Church is part of The Hants-Surrey Border Circuit (36/1) in the South East District of the Methodist Church, UK. 

Alton Methodist Church is managed by the Church Council (Managing Trustees). A number of committees are responsible for specific facets of the Church’s work. 

These include: The Family Committee The Finance Committee The Property Committee. 

The Church Council meets three times per year or more often if necessary.  It receives reports from groups and reviews their work providing guidance and direction and authorises policy and is ultimately responsible for the activities of the groups. 

Much of the day to day running of the church is entrusted to a team of stewards elected by the church membership. In addition, there is an annual church meeting where the whole of the church membership is able to meet and review the work of the church over the previous year. 

The Church works to manage and limit risk as far as practicable. It reviews its practices against the Charity Commission’s “Internal Financial Controls for Charities” document regularly. It only pays for services in cash in exceptional services (and no such occasions occurred in the year under review).  All cheque and electronic payments require 2 signatures. All receipts are banked promptly. Operational risk is managed by servicing all fire extinguishers, electrical equipment, and sliding doors regularly. Personal and reputational risk is managed by adopting best practice, as recommended by the Methodist Church nationally, to safeguarding. 

## **Section C                    Objectives and activities** 

The objective of the Church is summed up in our mission statement which states: 

**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** 

**The calling of Alton Methodist Church is to respond to the Gospel of God’s Love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.** 

This can be summarised in four key areas, i.e. worship, learning and caring, service and evangelism. 

Worship: Increase the awareness of God’s presence and 

celebrate God’s love. 

Learning and Caring:   Help people to grow and learn as Christians. Service: Be a good neighbour to people in need and 

challenge injustice. 

**TAR** 

September 2024 – August 2025

Make more followers of Jesus Christ. 

Evangelism: 

The Church comprises 90 members and others who have not entered into membership.  One service meets each Sunday.  In addition, there are normally many activities during the week.  These include: Girls and Boys Brigades, Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Monthly Lunch Club, and Child Contact Centre. Many of these groups involve people and young people who are not members of the church.  We value and wish to develop our links with the local community and the provision we are able to make, particularly for the elderly, vulnerable and young people with special needs who are welcomed into our various groups.  In addition, there are a number of groups from the community who use these premises. 

Our paid staff comprises the Minister, and an “Anna Chaplain” (Chaplain to older people in the town and surrounding villages.)  Grant applications and fund raising towards this role in the last year has proved successful and adds a degree of financial security to the post over the next 3 years plus. The work of the Anna Chaplaincy is highly respected and commended by grant making bodies for its work. 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

All other activities are undertaken by volunteers.  There are over 50 **volunteers** involved in some way in the activities that take place at the church. 

For administrative purposes the Methodist Church in the country (the Connexion) is divided into 33 districts.  Each district is further divided into Circuits.  The Alton Methodist Church is one of eleven churches in the local Circuit.   Circuit assessment is a sum paid quarterly to the circuit treasurer to cover Ministers salaries and a contribution towards District and Connexional running costs. Our Minister is employed and paid by the Circuit. The Hants Surrey Border Methodist Circuit is in consultation with the Berkshire Surrey Border Methodist Circuit with a view to becoming one larger circuit from Sept. 2025. The name of the amalgamated circuit will be ‘The Blackwater Valley Circuit’ 

The church signed a covenant with the local Anglican parish in 2009 to work more closely together.  The project known as the Greater Alton Project (GAP) currently funds with others a Chaplain to the elderly (particularly those in nursing homes, and known as the “Anna Chaplain”) as mentioned above. 

The trustees have regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, and believe this is illustrated by the Church’s service to the welfare of the elderly members of the surrounding community (outside our church) and to the younger members through the youth organisations. Generosity from Church members through a gift day, and ongoing giving have enabled the churches finances to remain sustainable post pandemic.

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

## **Restrictions on Activities:** 

The regulations governing the Church do not permit the consumption of alcohol, and allow only very limited forms of gambling, on the premises. 

## **Policy on grant making** 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 

The Church does not make grants to organisations outside the Methodist Church from its own funds, but it does often provide a channel for its members to make contributions to other charitable organisations working in the local community or globally to further objectives that are complementary to our own objectives. This year our chosen charity for particular support was MSF (‘Medicins Sans Frontierres’). 

## **Investment policy** 

The Church does not engage in speculative investment activity and all of our reserves are held in an interest bearing bank account operated by the UK Methodist Church. 

## **Volunteers** 

Most of the work of the Church is performed by volunteers. Currently about 50 volunteers work for the church on a regular basis.

**TAR** 

6 September 2024 – August 2025 



## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

## **Worship** 

The church offers one worship service per Sunday with an average attendance of 50-70 people each week. Special services have been held including funeral/thanksgiving services. We continue to develop strong relationships with the Parish churches through the Greater Alton Project (GAP) and have held a number of well attended joint services. We also provide a recorded online service. 

**Learning and Caring:** The minister, along with the Pastoral Secretary and members of the congregation offer strong pastoral support to one another and to the wider community. 

**Service:** Members of the church run a weekly coffee morning and a monthly lunch club at the church. These are both well attended by mainly older people some of whom are members of the church but many are not. This helps to reduce the sense of loneliness and isolation that some of these folk tell us that they experience at times. We run successful children’s activities in the form of Boys Brigade and Girls Brigade companies, and members lead very successful Duke of Edinburgh groups leading to bronze, silver and gold awards. 

**Evangelism:** Members share their faith through friendship and service. 

Together with the GAP churches we have employed a chaplain to older people (Anna Chaplain). This ministry has been very much appreciated by individuals and by local care home staff. She has led communion services, participated in funeral services, attended coffee morning and lunch clubs and, where appropriate, has shared her faith as a means of encouragement to those who she spends time with. 

We have worked with other churches in the town on projects like community carols, lent courses and supporting organisations like Foodbank.

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

**Church Reserves Policy for Alton Methodist Church which is part of the Hants-Surrey Border Circuit 36/1** 

**Trustees Annual Report Church Reserves Policy** 

The Charity’s Reserves Policy deals with: 

- (a)  Our General Fund 

Other funds also held which are NOT required to be included in our reserves are: 

(b) Internal organisations (Restricted) 

- (c) GAP funds (Restricted) 

- (d) Special collections, where the Church collects money on behalf of other charities to facilitate giving by our members (Restricted) 

(e) Benevolent Fund (Restricted). 

Our Reserves: 

- (a) Our General Fund 

We aim to hold in reserve sufficient money in our general funds to cover a minimum of 6 months expenditure i.e. £40,000. 

The reason for this is twofold: 

(i) The Church needs a minimum of 3 months average expenditure in reserve as working capital to cover normal running costs. 

(ii) Maintenance of church buildings.  Funds need to be available to meet unexpected repair bills. 

**This Reserves Policy has been approved by the Church Council (Managing trustees) on 27[th] February 2020.** 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

None 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

The Church derives most of its income from donations of its members. A small amount of income is derived from letting out rooms within our building. 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

The Church has been successful in winning external grants to support the provision of an “Anna Chaplain” to support elderly people of all denominations in the Alton area. Currently support is coming from East Hampshire District Council Communities Fund, The Mercers’ Company, The Complins Memorial Trust, the Methodist Church HSB Circuit, and individual donations. 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

- investment policy and individual donations. objectives including any ethical investment policy Regular giving from church members has continued. A very good gift day adopted. has reflected the generosity and commitment of our church members and friends.

Ba$i* of Independ8nt Exam1n8￿8 R•port
My exarninalion was carried out in acGord3nte gÈneral Directions gDien by the Chadty
Cornmission. An examination includes a review of the 3ccounting re￿[d8 kept by the charity and
mparison of the accounts presented With those records. It also Includes consideration ol any
unusual items or di$closure8 In the accounts. and seeking explanations trom the trustees conceming
any Such matters. Th8 procedur8s undertaken do not providè all the ?vidence that would be required
in an audit. and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the aCC￿nts present a Irue anLI fai
v18w and the report is limited to those matters Sel out in the stslement below.
