have been since the Date of Union the advancement of:

undertaken for the public
beneft in relaton to these
objects|The circuit produced a quarterly preaching plan to ensure regular acts
of worship take place at each of the 9 Methodist Churches and 2 Local
Ecumenical Partnerships in its geographical area. These are open to all
people, without charge. The circuit supports the Open the Book
initatve in local primary schools and is actvely involved with
ecumenical partners in teams serving schools in Buckley, Mold and
Penyfordd.Most of the churches make their church halls available to
their local communites as a resource, and we also host cofee mornings
and luncheon-clubs, which are a much-valued meetng place for people
from the wider community.Many churches collect for the local
foodbank and one church acts as a distributon point. One church
collects items for SHARE (refugees and asylum seekers) and SPIN (the
homeless). Another church runs ‘Friday Kitchen’, a popular weekly
market ofering near-date food at very low prices to people in
Connah’s Quay. A number of the churches support the T4U shoe box
appeal with one of the churches actng as a collecton point for the
charity. A variety of other charites are supported by the eforts of
individual churches. We confrm that the trustees have had regard to
the CharityCommission’sguidance onpublic beneft.| |**D. Achievements andperformance**|| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year|The circuit exists to resource and support its eleven churches in their
mission to the communites in which they are situated. There is a
shortage of accredited preachers in the circuit, however a number of
lay people are trained as worship leaders and the weekly patern of
worshiphas been maintained.| |**E. Financial Review**|**E. Financial Review**|**E. Financial Review**| |---|---|---| |Brief statement of the charity’s
policy on reserves.|The circuit seeks to hold approx. ffy per cent of budgeted
expenditure as a reserve, in additon to funding for specifc purposes.
This is deemed sufcient to meet any unforeseen item of major
expenditure on manses and/or to be able to contnue, in the short term,
the funding of planned actvites in the event of the closure of a large
church or an inabilityto raise the full Circuit Assessment from churches.|| |Details of any funds materially

Just under 80% of the Circuit’s income was provided by the local
churches, with the remainder coming mostly from property rentals,
grants and donatons.
56% of the Circuit’s expenditure was on ministerial stpends and related
costs, and a further 17% was our contributon to the Synod, of which part
is used to fund the work of the wider Methodist Church.|| |**F. Further informaton**||| |||| |**G. Declaraton**||| |The trustees declare that they approved the trustees’ report above
