Review of Circuit actlvllles
This has been a year of recovery for the arajit as we have tried to rea&sess our a&ivities and
what we should be doing after the disruptions e2used by covid.
The Cir￿ll Meeting has taken back responsii¥"lity for decision making now that we are able to
meet in person. The decision was taken to dose one chapel, at Coveney. There were d[s￿ssIOnS as
to whether we could make use of the buildiro in another way. but this was not possible. The decision
was therefore taken to begin the proc£ss of selling the woperty.
The meeting also agreed to extend the appointment of Rev Colin Watkins for one year on a
part-time basis and to appoint Rev Catherine Dixon as Superintendent from September 2023 until
2029.
The CirC￿rt continues to resou￿ the thur￿￿5 thrwgh ts provision of preachers for their
eekly seniices. We have begun th8 SUPP)rt and training of one new preather during this year. We
have also c4Jntinued weekly Zoom based services for those unable to attend, these have now moved
to monthly.
The circuit has conlinued to assist and oversee govemance rnatters such as Safeguarding and
GDPR, providing training and guidance a￿osS the cyr(xJit for those vhlo require it.
Our arcuit overseas projecl, Bees Beds and Blessngs. has ¢J)ntinued. This project aims to
support the y￿rk of a women's hostel in Jamaica through the provision of beehives for the production
and sale of honey to make the work there sustainatrAe in the long tenn.
The arcuit also enO)Ura￿ furKJ raisiro for a number of other tharities: All ￿ Can, Methodist
Homes and ACt￿n For Children among others, and has ￿ntInued its grant of £2,OCM) par yéar for the
Ely branth of Chrisbans against Povety. Tr (￿r￿lt also pledged to help CAP in praclical ways.
A grant was given to the Pulse Mission amorKJ the senior s(*thls in the area and we cnntinue
to part fund the Lay Worker at Red Lodge in Iheir wDrk among the d)ildren of the town.
The urcuit has promded the churthes of the arcuit with various grants for repairs and
