The church is led by the Minister and Leadership Team and governed by the Church Council and together we are working to make a difference to people's lives in and around our locality. Review of the year We are Littleover Methodist Church. We alm to be 'A vibrant Christ centred church at the heart of our community,. A worshipping people within the community: Sunday morning average attendance has been in excess of 100. including 25 children 0-18. We have welcomed new members within the past year. Evening worship happens each week with a more informal group of between 10-20. During the week smaller groups meet in homes or on the church premises to encourage deeper bible study. fellowship and pastoral care. Church Council, the Trustees of the Littleover Methodist Church, who act in relation to the affairs of the charity and in relation to the provisions of the Methodist Church as Managing Trustees, met three times during the year to consider normal busines5. In additional there was an open General Church Meeting. The church Café is open three days a week to serve the daytime groups and anyone who called in for a quiet cuppa, and snack. Very popular toddler groups called 'Play Ark, meeting two days a week attracted many parents, carers and toddlers from around the community. The church Monday Lunch Club for the elderly continues to meet an identified need in the community. 'Messy Church, takes place on the first Saturday of each month. The Uniformed organisations continue to thrive. The building continues to be used regularly by other community groups of all ages and abilities including Baby clinics, Pilates, Older People Exercise Group, Parkinson Singing Group and a social table tennis club. There were also ad-hoc users such as Local Councillors and Police holding surgeries. The building has also been used as a Polling Station and by the wider church community for Conferences and Synods. Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals take place from time to time. There have been no changes in Staffing levels this year. As well as our employed staff there were 99 Volunteers, many fulfilling multiple roles, without whom the activities in and around the church would not have been possible to run. 'Christianity Month, was again held durin8 May with keynote speakers including The Rt Hon Stephen Timms MP, community activities and opportunities for people to engage with the Christian faith. Christianity Month seeks to be a time of celebration of the Christian faith with opportunities to connect Littleover Methodist Church- Report & Accounts12023-20241 Page 2
with people outside the church to share something of the beliefs and actions of the Christian faith. The vision for Christianity Month is being shared and taken up by others within our more immediate locality and further afield. You can read more detail about all the different aspects of church life at www.1mclife.or Income, Expenditure and Fund Balances The budget was approved by Church Council on 20th June 2023. Excluding a Restricted legacy received in 2021122 from comparative figures, we see that Income of £271k in 2023124 was an increase of £36k from the previous year. The main reason for this was an increase of £17k of Restricted 8ifts from individuals and a one-off refund of £7k being a contribution made to the Methodist Pension Reserve Fund appeal in 2022 Comparative expenditure for the year of £255k was just £6.5k higher than the previous year. In 2022123 there was significant investment in more efficient and 'green' LED lighting throughout the building, a more normal level of building maintenance in the current year appears as a £21k reduction. Also, in 2022123 there was a refund of approximately £6.5k from the ener8y providers relating to VAT and the Climate Change Levy, as a result the current year appears to show an increase in cost of Utilities of nearly £6k. The Children & Youth Worker has been in post for the whole of the current year compared to 7 months of the previous year which accounts for an increase of £16k The shortfall in the Building Maintenance Reserve below the £50k level from last year has been restored.

Trustee Training A compiled trustee pack encompassing Methodist and charity commission trustee guidance is provided to all new trustees prior to them taking UP their appointment in September each year. Any office holders appointed by the trustees are also provided with the same trustee's pack. All trustees sign an annual declaration Ie affirming their commitment and understanding of the role of a trustee. Any updates or amendments to trustee guidance is communicated to all trustees prior to submitting their annual trustee declaration. Related Parties The Church is part of the Derby Circuit (Charity # 11423411 which is part of the Nottingham and Derby District and is also accountable to the Methodist Conference. Funds transferred to support the work of the Circuit are known as the Circuit Assessment and are listed individually in the Statement of Financial Activities. Risk Management The major risks have been identified and recorded by the Trustees with professional advice taken as required. Part of the annual cycle of agendas of the Trustees Meeting is to review the risk register and record any findings. Income and Expenditure is being monitored in total and is compared with the approved annual budget on a half yearly basis to detect trends as part of the risk management process to avoid unforeseen calls on reserves. A 5-year financial projection is also reviewed annually to provide early warning of financial trends. Reserves Policy The Reserves Policy for the Church is to hold a general reserve amounting to a minimum stjm equivalent to 3 months, average Unrestricted expenditure and a separate Building Maintenance Reserve of £50k. The general reserve should be sufficient to allow the church to continue to fund planned activities, in the short term, in the event of any inability to raise the full expenses including the assessment payable to the Circuit. The Building Maintenance Reserve is to fund any unexpected items of buildirkg maintenance and £50k is considered appropriate considering the size and age of the building. With Unrestricted expenditure of E223k for the 2023124 financial year used as the basis, there is a requirement for a Reserves Policy of £56k in the general reserve. As at 31 August 2024, the balance of the church general fund was £96,615, which is a slight increase of £2k from the previous year. This level remains significantly above the Resee5 Policy. The Church Council had previously decided to appoint a Youth Worker given a reasonable level of confidence in income and having funds in excess of the reserves policy. During the year the Building Maintenance reseNe was restored to its £50k level. Littleover Methodist Church - Report & Accounts12023-20241 Page 6
Safeguarding Every person has a value and diBnity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God's own imaEe and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God's re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.
