reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The purpose of the Methodist Church is and shall be
deemed to have been since the Date of the Union the
advancement of:
a) The Christian faith in accordance with the
doctrinal standards of discipline in the
Methodist Church;
b) Any charitable purpose for the time being of
any Connexional, District, Circuit, local or other
organisation of the Methodist Church;
c) Any charitable purpose for the time being of
any society or institution subsidiary or ancillary
to the Methodist Church;
d) Any purpose for the time being of any charity
being a charity subsidiary or ancillary to the
Methodist Church.
These objectives are interpreted at Circuit levels
through the ‘Circuit Mission Statement and Policy’
document (available on request).| |Summary of the main activities
in relation to those purposes
for the public benefit, in
particular, the activities,
projects or services identified
in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The Circuit produces a quarterly plan to ensure that
regular acts of worship take place in each of the eight
Circuit Churches. These are open to all without charge.
All the Circuit churches serve their local community
through their availability for baptisms, marriages and
funerals.
The properties are variously used by community
organisations. Some properties were specifically built to
serve both as a worship and as a community centre.
The trustees encourage all Circuit churches to use their
buildings, where suitable, for the benefit of the
community.
Where appropriate, grants are made available to
promote this community engagement. Examples of
such are: Parent and Toddler Group, community
lunches, a daily coffee bar, women’s fellowship, youth
groups, uniformed organisations, professional advice
services. These are open to all, irrespective of Church
allegiance.| |||We seek to address the spiritual needs of those in
residential care.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming whether
the trustees have had regard

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a whole.|Para 1.20|The Circuit continues the process of each church
undertaking a mission and vision review.
September 2024 continued with a settled team
consisting of a Hospitality Lay Pastor to support the
Superintendent Minister, in addition to a part-time
Administrator and Coffee Bar Manager for Trinity
Coffee Bar.
Staffing levels have remained consistent.
The Hospitality Lay Pastor interacted across the
churches, with congregations and local
communities, to encourage working towards the
principles of the Social Gospel and the Methodist
Church doctrine that:
All need to be saved
All can be saved
All can know they are saved
All can be saved to the uttermost.
The churches have updated and will continue to
monitor their Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable
Adults procedure training and DBS checks.
We have three redundant buildings, one of which
remains on the market (Tydd St Giles).
An offer has been accepted for Terrington St John,
and we are finalising the agreement with solicitors.
St Andrews Outwell has been valued for sale;
outstanding issues with the Ministry of Justice are
delaying progress.| ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end of
the period|Para 1.21|The Circuit accounts are available for inspection.
The Circuit Advance Fund is used to subsidise the
Connexional assessment, to provide grants towards
the cost of major repairs and to cover any shortfall
in the assessments from local churches.
On the 1stSeptember 2024, the Fens Circuit held
total cash funds of £207,771 and on the 31stAugust
