Plymouth Methodist Central Hall continues to play its part as a vibrant mission centre in the city. Our Sunday

General Funds held for any purpose of the Circuit which are Unrestricted.
Restricted Funds which are held for a narrower purpose. Details of each material fund are disclosed in Note 18
to these accounts. Any funds may be represented by more than just cash.
Basls of preparation
The Plymouth Methodist Mission Circuit meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and
liabilities are initially recognised al historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise staled in the relevant accounting
policy notes.
Judggrnents and key sources of ostimatlon uncertalnty
In the application of the Trust's accounting policies. which are described in this note, the Trustees are required lo make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrwng value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estirnates and underlwng assumptions are based on historically known factors and experience.
Therefore, the Trustees do not perceive there to be any critical areas of judgement or key SOUT￿$ of eslimalion
uncertainty In the formulation of the financial statements.
Golng concem
Based on Ihg monetary assets and human resource available al 31 August 2025, the Trustees believe Ihat the church
iq A oDing concern.
Incomo rècognltlon
Inwme is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFAI when the Church becomes entitled to the income,
it is more likaly that the income will be recaivad and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donated goods, facilities and services are recognised as income when the charity has control over them, any
conditions associated with the donated item have been mel, and the reeeipt of economic benefit can be measured
reliably.
On receipt, donated goods. facilities and seNi¢es are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to Ihe charity.

Notes to the Financial Statements
forthe Year Ended 31 August 2025
Expendlture
This is recognised when a liability is incurred, or a constructive obligation arises, that results in the payment being
unavoidable. Liat)iliiies are recognlsed as soon as an outnow of eGonornlb benefit ib wnbld¢retJ ITiuie liKely than not
under the legal or conslwctive obligation committing the Circuit lo pay out re8ources.
Grants
Grants rnade by the Circuit from its own funds are recognised in full at Ihe time of agreement or when the Circuit
accepts that there is a legal or operational obligation to make the payment.
VAT
Since the church is not VAT registered, all Input VAT is charged wth the expenses lo which is refers.
Tanglble fixed assets
These are capilalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £500. They are initially
recorded at cost. less any subsequent accumulated deprciation and impaim)ent losses. Depreciation is provided on
tangible flxed assets so as to write off the cost over their expected useful economic life as below..
Asset class
Fixtures and fittings I propety improvements
Depreclation method and rate
25Q/o reducing balance120 years straight line
The freehold pmperties are shown in the accounts at the 2015 dgemed cost value. No depreciation is provided on
buildings because the Tnjstees consider the current residual fair value of the manse land and buildings lon the
assumption that it had reached the end of its useful economic life by year-end} to be not less than their deemed cost.
The properties are reviewed annually for impairm6nL
Stock
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those grf
al the time of their receipt. If the goods held are lo be distributed freely or for a nomlnal consideration. then the
carrying amount is the Iow8r of deemed cost adjusted for any105s of service potential and rep5acemenl cost.
Taxatlon
The Trust is considered lo pasg the tests sel out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore il
meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Tnjst Is potentially
exempt Irom l&xalion in respect of income or capttal gain8 r8c8ivad within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11
of the Corporation Tax Ael 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Ael 1992, to the exlenl that such
income or gains are applied exclusively lo charitable purposes.
Finanelal Instruments
Classlflcatlon
The company holds the following financial inslrumenls:
Short term trade and other debtors and creditors., and
Catyh and b&nl( balanG¢s.
All financial instrnments are classified as basic.
The charity has chosen to apply the recognition and measurement principles in FRS102. Financial instruments a
recognised when the charily becomes party lo the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when
in the case of assets, the conlraclual rights lo cash flows from the assets expire or subslanlially all the risks and
Tewards of ownership a￿ transferred to another paty. or in the case of liabilities, when the charity's obligations are
discharged, expire or are cancelled. These instruments are Inltially measured al transaction price, including
transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at Ihe undiscounled amount of the cash or other conslderation
expected to be paid or received. after taking account of impairment adjustments.

Penslons
The. Circuit operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan
under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the eonlribulions have been paid the
charity hAs no further payment obligations. The contributions are Tecognised as an expense when they are due.
Amounts not paid are included in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separale5y from
the Circuf( in Independently administered funds.
The clergy are employed by Connexion. Their stipends aro recharged to the circuit, including their pension
contributions.
The Connexlon operate both defined boneflt schemes as detailed bolow.
Most ordained presbyters and deacons are members of the Methodist Ministers, Pension Scheme {MMPSI. This is
a dgfined benofit scheme. The gupramo court held in 2014 that Methodist Ministers (which term includos presbyters
and deacons) are not employees of the church. For simplicity, however, when dealing with National Insurance
Contributions and pension contributions the terms 'employeV and 'employee' are used as they would be in an
employing body.
On the other hand lay employees are conlraclually employed and have the option of joining the Pension and
Assurance Scheme for Lay Employees of the Methodist Church IPASLEMCI, the Pensions Trust or some other
arrangement. PASLEMC is a defined benefit scheme and the employing Churches and Circuits contribute as
mployera lo thi-
Ghcmts.
The Connexion accounts for both the MMPS and PASLEMC pension schemes and shows the figures in the annual
Melhodisl Church in Great Brilain accounts The MMPS is in deficit but a plan for removal of the deficit has been
proposed and is being implemented. Detail$ of the deficit on the schemes can be found in the Annual Report of The
methc￿lS1 Church at ww4.methodist.org.uk.
