**Notes to the Accounts 2024** 

## **Grimsby Circuit** 

## **1 Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 in accordance with the 2019 version of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities applicable in the UK.  and in line with guidelines issued by the Methodist Church. The Circuit is classified as a small entity and Revenues in most years fall below the £250,000 criteria for producing accrual accounts. However as sales of assets in other years then take income above the threshold for the sake of consistency accrual accounting has been adopted in spite of the increased workload involved. 

## **2 Funds** 

The funds held include General Funds held for any purpose of the Circuit which are Unrestricted, the Circuit Model Trust Fund which has wide purposes defined in Standing Orders and is categorised as Unrestricted,  Restricted funds which are held for a narrower purpose and are listed in the final Note below and Endowment funds which are also listed in that Note. Any funds may be represented by more than just cash. 

## **3 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis** 

These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except that investments are shown at their market value at the end of the year, on the accruals basis to show a true and fair view of the Circuit’s financial position and activities. 

## **Income Recognition** 

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Circuit becomes entitled to the resources, and the trustees are reasonably certain they will receive the resources; and  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Resources Expended** 

This is recognised when a liability is incurred, or a constructive obligation arises, that results in the payment being unavoidable.  Liabilities are recognised as soon as an outflow of economic benefit is considered more likely than not under the legal or constructive obligation committing the Circuit to pay out resources. 

## **Grants** 

Grants made by the Circuit from its own funds are recognised in full at the time of agreement or when the Circuit accepts that there is a legal or operational obligation to make the payment.  When the grant is recurrent over more than one year the balance payable in future years is treated as a provision for future commitments in the Balance Sheet against the appropriate fund, the provision being released in future years as instalments are paid in accordance with the originally agreed terms. 

## **VAT** 

Since the Circuit is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expense to which it refers. 

## **Tangible fixed assets for use by the Circuit** 

These are capitalised if their anticipated reliable life is more than one year, and individually cost at least £5,000. 

The tangible fixed assets figure is made up of three manses together  vaued at £753,250 plus a plot of land adjoining Keelby Methodist Church purchased by the Circuit for £9243 . The manses are valued at cost or 2019 deemed values , of which the land component in the opinion of the Trustees is  £370,000.  No depreciation is provided on any of the buildings because the trustees consider their current residual fair value (on the assumption that they had reached the end of their useful economic lives by the year-end) to be not less than its current value. Any depreciation would not be material.  The properties have been reviewed for impairment. 

## **Investment Properties** 

This includes several items. The first, a Cottage which formed part of the Laceby Methodist Church site. This redundant church was sold a few years ago but the Cottage was retained by the Circuit and held for investment purposes as it had a sitting tenant. The second relates to the Grimsby Central Hall property , retained by the Circuit a number of years ago after it ceased to operate as a Church. It has concert hall facilities and is rented out to a third party. There are two redundant Churches passed to The Circuit for sale. The first is Beaconthorpe included in last year's accounts at a valuation of £120,000. This empty listed building was set alight by vandals during the year and severely damaged and is subject to both discussions with our insurers and a pending sale in its current condition.This valuation has been left unchanged in these accounts. We anticipate that a reduced sale value plus a settlement with the Insurance Company will both appear in next year's accounts when the sale is expected to be completed. The second is Humberston Methodist Church. The sale of this redundant property is expected to take place shortly and should appear in next year's accounts.  Pending sale these are included as Investment Properties in line with guidelines issued by the Methodist Church. Rental income arises from the Laceby and Central Hall properties and is included in the SOFA as "income from Investment Properties" as a means of highlighting the materiality of the income. 

## **Investments** 

Investments are valued in the balance sheet at market value at the year end.  Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable and any gains or losses on revaluation at the year end are shown in the SOFA. 

## **Debtors and Prepayments** 

Debtors relate to the payment of the September stipends in August, which is a cost paid in advance of the service to be received. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors relate to Assessments received from Churches in advance. 

## **Impact of Accounting / other changes** 

In Sept 2021 responsibilty for the day to day operations of Methodist Flottergate Homes (prev Charity Reg  219533) was transferred into the main Circuit Accounts (Charity Reg 1133104) .  This has been included within these Circuit Accounts from that date and is included under Restricted Funds. An Action plan to reverse the initial severe losses being incurred has been put in place and is now producing early encouraging results.  A programme of necessary premises improvemnt is taking place and will continue into future years. However expensive necessary roof replacement will also need to take place in the near future. The value of the Building, continues to be excluded from these accounts until legal ownership is fully established following a review of Trust documentation.                  .

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the** 

## **Grimsby & Cleethorpes Circuit** 

## **Responsibilities and basis of Report** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Grimsby & Cleethorpes Circuit for the year ended 31 August 2024.  As the Circuit’s trustees, 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 Circuit’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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. 



## **Grimsby & Cleethorpes Circuit** 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below) which give me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records; or 

the accounts do not comply with the applicable 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; or 

the trustees’ annual report is not consistent with the accounts 

Flottergate Homes is now fully included in the Circuit accounts and forms part of this examination. Comments made in a previous year's Statement regarding legality of ownership of the Homes property are still relevant and I note that the valuation of the Homes property continues to be excluded at this stage until this is fully resolved. 

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. 

I have not obtained independent verification of all investments with the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes or held in other trusts, bank balances and funds at the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church at the balance sheet date.
