In addition each of the Circuit’s member churches are entitled to nominate a number of trustees. ## **Objectives and activities** ## _**Objects and aims**_ The Circuit is the umbrella organisation for all members of the 8 churches which now make up the Circuit and acts as a Resource provider within the area around South Nottingham for the Methodist Church. The group of churches is served by a team of Ministers, Lay Workers, and volunteers. Our Mission statement is: The mission of the Nottingham South Methodist Circuit is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ by encouraging, resourcing and enabling the people and churches of the Circuit to serve their communities and the wider world The purposes of the Methodist Church are and shall be deemed to have been since the Date of Union the advancement of: a) The Christian faith in accordance with the doctrinal standards and discipline of The Methodist Church; b) Any charitable purpose for the time being of any Connexional, District, Circuit. local or other organisation of The Methodist Church; c) Any charitable purpose for the time being of any society or institution subsidiary or ancillary to The Methodist Church; d) Any purpose for the time being of any charity being a charity subsidiary or ancillary to The Methodist Church. ## _**Public benefit**_ The activities that benefit the public includes: - The organisation and resourcing of regular public acts of worship open to members of the church and non members alike. - The teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups. - The resourcing of pastoral work including visiting the sick and bereaved. - Promotion of Christianity through the staging of events and services. - Community building and support activities within our churches (such as the hosting of foodbanks, the offering of community meals, meeting places for all) The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Page 3 ## **The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit** ## **Trustees' Report (continued)** ## **Review of the year** Most of the activity of the Circuit is conducted through its local churches. At the end of October 2024 these 8 churches had a total membership of 454. The Circuit churches have continued to offer Sunday worship, fellowship groups and activities for children and young people. The Circuit and its churches have also continued to try and find ways of offering the love of Jesus Christ to the communities they serve and pastoral care and support within the church communities themselves. There have been positive signs of growth in many of the churches, with new people joining the congregations, and new ways being found to engage with our communities. Sadly in June, after 60 years of serving the community, Tollerton Methodist Church held its last service as a church. The ownership of the building was transferred to the circuit on 1st September 2024 and continues to be run as a community facility pending a final decision in respect of its future. During the year the circuit has had 2 full time ministers, and one part time minister following the start of Rev Naomi Sparey, a part time minister in September 2024. Pastoral responsibilities have been adjusted to take account of this change. In August 2025 Rev Tony Simpson retired and was replaced in September 2025 by Helen Fyall, who will work part time in the circuit. During the year the Circuit supported the work of its churches through: - The provision of a team of Ministers and lay workers - Providing Ministers, Local Preachers and worship leaders to lead worship on Sundays and other occasions - The allocation of financial and other resources - The support and advice of the lay officers of the circuit - The provision of training and other special events. ## **Financial review** ## **Income trends** Circuit income is predominantly (93%) drawn from the assessment and contributions towards Lay Employee salaries paid by the circuit churches and agreed by the circuit meeting. Most of the remainder of the income is interest and income from the letting of an unused manse. ## **Expenditure trends** Stipend and salary costs have increased by 35% this year following the appointment of a third minister in September 2024, and the Methodist church’s approved increases for stipends and lay worker salaries. These costs account for 66% of total expenditure. 17% of expenditure is the Circuit contribution to the District and Connexion ,of which a significant part is used to fund the work of the wider Methodist Church. Other expenditure includes expenditure on manse maintenance and utilities. ## **Fund balances** As at 31 August 2025 the net current assets of the Circuit were £266,537. Of this £72,152 was held on behalf of Bridgeway Hall, one of the circuit churches. The remaining reserves of £194,385 , give approximately 6 months cover for expenditure. Page 4 ## **The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit** ## **Trustees' Report (continued)** ## _**Policy on reserves**_ The Reserves Policy for the Circuit is to hold a minimum sum equivalent to 3 months’ average expenditure. This should be sufficient to enable the circuit to be able to continue, in the short to medium term, funding planned activities in the event of the main financial risks. These are unforeseen items of major expenditure on manses and the inability to raise the full Circuit Assessment from churches. Reserves in excess of the minimum are held to allow the funding of new employment to support the circuit work. ## **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: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - 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 Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, 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. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. Approved by the trustees of the charity on 13 April 2026 and signed on its behalf by: ......................................... Reverend Mark Roberts Trustee Page 5 ## **The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit** ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit** ## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit (the Charity) for the year ended 31 August 2025. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ......................................

Reverend Mark Roberts Trustee The notes on pages 10 to 17 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 9 ## **The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025** ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **Statement of compliance** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. ## **Basis of preparation** The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. ## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements. ## **Going concern** The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. ## **Income and endowments** Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## _**Grants receivable**_ Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. ## _**Investment income**_ Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. ## **Expenditure** All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. Page 10 ## **The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025 (continued)** ## _**Charitable activities**_ Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. ## **Taxation** The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. ## **Trade debtors** Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. ## **Borrowings** Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. ## **Fund structure** Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. Page 11 ## **The Methodist Church Nottingham South Circuit** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025 (continued)** ## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. ## **2 Income from donations and legacies** |Grants, including capital grants;
