|Summary|of|the|main activities|||The circuit produced
a quarterly
preaching
plan to ensure regular acts|
|undertaken||for the public||||ofworship take place at each ofthe 9 Methodist
Churches
and 2 Local|
|benefit
in|relation|||to these||Ecumenical
Partnerships
in its geographical
area. These are open to all|
|objects||||||people, without
charge. The circuit supports the Open the Book|
|||||||initiative
in local primary
schools and is actively involved
with|
|||||||ecumenical
partners
in teams serving schools in Buckley and|
|||||||Penyffordd.
Most ofthe churches
make their church
halls available to|
|||||||their local communities
as a resource, and we also host coffee mornings|
|||||||and luncheon-clubs,
which are been a much-valued
meeting
place for|
|||||||people from the wider community.
Many churches collect for the local|
|||||||foodbank
and one church acts as a distribution
point. One church also|
|||||||collects items for SHARE (refugees and asylum
seekers) and SPIN (the|
|||||||homeless).
A number ofthe churches support the T4U shoe box|
|||||||appeal with one ofthe churches
acting as a collection point for the|
|||||||charity.
A variety ofother charities are supported
by the efforts of|
|||||||individual
churches. We confirm that the trustees
have had regard to|
|||||||the Charity Commission's
guidance
on public benefit.|
|D.Achievements||||and performance|||
|Summary|of|thh|main|||The circuit exists to resource and support
its 11churches
in their|
|achievements||of|the charity|||mission to the communities
in which they are situated. The|
|during the|year|||||availability
ofaccredited preachers to resource the Sunday services|
|||||||throughout
the circuit does not meet demand
and remains
a|
|||||||challenge for the circuit staff. During this year the activities ofthe|
|||||||churches
have continued to be affected by coronavirus
precautions|
|||||||and restrictions.
Face-to-face worship
has been maintained
but|
||||worship
has also been facilitated
through
weekly worship sheets|
|---|---|---|---|
||||distributed
to members
and friends
by mail and e-mail. Work with|
||||children
and families
in two ofthe churches
has been maintained|
||||through
'zoom' activities.|

80%ofthe Circuit's income was provided
by the local|
