Circuit Trustee report 2023124 Review of Circuit activities Colin Watkins sat down (retired) as Superintendent minister in July 2023 and Rev Catherine Dixon was inducted on 3rd September 2023 as the new Superintendent, with her appointment as a presbyter in the circuit extended until 2029. A circuit administrator, Julie Smith, was appointed on a part-time basis from July 2023 to support the smooth running of the circuit- she is based in an office at Ely Methodist Church. The minister of the Newmarket sector, Rev Sangwoo Seo, came to the end of his stationing within our circuit in August 2024 and moved to a new station in Harlesden, West London. We were delighted to be able to appoint a probationer {trainee) presbyter, Rev Laura Martin, and she and her young family moved into the redecorated Soham manse in July 2024. The Newmarket manse, Sangwoo and his family's previous home, will now remain vacant until we are able to sell it on the open market. The circuit continues to resource the churches through the provision of preachers for their weekly services. The circuit has continued to assist and oversee governance matters such as Safeguarding and GDPR, providing training and guidance across the circuit in these matters and in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion for those who require it. Nakulabye Primary School in Uganda was supported for a second year as our circuit overseas project and a number of fund-raising activities across the circuit have taken place in aid of that work. The circuit also encouraged fund raising for a number of other charities.. All We Can, M8thodist Homes and Action For Children among others, and has increased its grant for the Ely branch of Christians against Poverty up to £2500 per year for a further three year period. A third grant was given to the Pulse Mission among the senior schools in the area and we have been informed that this project has now been closed. We have emp5oyed a Lay Youth Worker at Red Lodge for a four-year contract which comes to an end in October 2024. The circuit has provided the churches of the circuit with various grants for repairs and improvements to buildings.
