**Trustees’ Report June 2024** 

Our commitment across Tynedale is to see vibrant Christian communities which introduce people to life in the Kingdom of God and help people to live as followers of Jesus Christ. 

Throughout the year, the Circuit has focussed on emerging from the challenges of the pandemic and re-establishing the mission and ministry of the church throughout our communities. 

We have continued addressing the ongoing and growing needs of our communities who continue to be affected by the pandemic whereby some people still find it challenging to reengage with the norms of society and church life; with the affects of the economic struggles faced by some; and the concerns raised by many global issues which affect the individual as well as wider society. 

Over the year, it has been necessary to restructure some of our church societies to reflect the changes of the past years in terms of reduced attendance and income and the expectations of our governing body, the Methodist Church in Great Britain. 

The Circuit has also seen significant staffing changes during this time, both Presbyteral, lay and leadership.  It is expected that these changes in staff will stabilise in the next 12 months, allowing us to refocus and make plans for the time ahead and enable us to future-proof the activities of our churches in their local communities. 

Our financial position has been impacted during the year due to reduced income and higher expenditure costs, and we are using our Circuit’s reserves.  The Circuit made a decision to restructure in the light of its finances and from September 2023, reduced the number of ordained ministers.  This will inevitably have an impact on what the Circuit does, and churches will have to be less dependent on ordained ministers and Sunday services. 

We are in a period of transition which is both exciting and challenging and are grateful for the ongoing support of all staff members, lay and ordained, the many volunteers who contribute to the life of our Circuit enabling the work of our charitable purposes to be fulfilled, and especially the individual members who contribute in the many and varied ways they are able to continue the work of Tynedale Methodist Circuit insomuch as it feels called and equipped by God to do as we seek to follow Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.
