				The Circuit's Charitable objectives are those ofthe Methodist Church,
				set out in the Methodist Church Act 1976:
				The purposes ofthe Methodist Church are and shall be deemed
				to have been since the date of union the advancement of:
Summary ofthe objects ofthe charity set out in its governing document				(a) the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrinal standards and the discipline ofthe Methodist Church; (b) any charitable purpose for the time being ofany Connexional,
				district, circuit, local or other organisation ofthe Methodist
				Church;
				(c) any charitable purpose for the time being ofany society or
				institution subsidiar or ancilla to the Methodist Church;

		(d) any purpose for the time being ofany charity being a charity
		subsidiary or ancillary to the Methodist Church.
	Much ofthe detailed activity in relation to the above objectives is
	undertaken by local churches, which are interconnected at Circuit level
	for purposes of mission, mutual encouragement, and help.
	The tasks of the Circuit are:
	a)	to make invitations to Ministers
	b)	to appoint and manage lay employees
	c)	organisation of preachers, including accreditation of new
		preachers, ongoing review, and allocation of accredited preachers
		to take all services
	d)	to maintain a strategic Circuit Policy, in support ofthe above
		objectives
	e)	to promote new initiatives in line with Circuit Policy, but outside
		the scope of existing churches acting individually
	f)	to facilitate the sharing ofactivities and resources across the
		churches of the Circuit
Summary ofthe main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)	g) to manage the Circuit Budget to develop new initiatives, and also to enable financial contributions to support the work of District and Connexion. h) to provide Manses ofappropriate standard for Presbyters stationed within the Circuit i) to encourage the sharing together in complementary ways of lay and ordained staff in every part ofthe work of ministry j) to provide practical help in training and equipping churches for the tasks which they undertake. k) to ensure that the procedures for safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults are strictly followed. ln undertaking these activities, the Circuit Trustees exercise due
	regard	in ensuring compliance with the Charity Commission"s
	guidance on public benefit and on charities for the advancement		of
	religion.
	The ongoing activities ofthe sixteen individual churches, which with one
	exception (Central) are exempted charities, included:
		Public acts of worship at each church every Sunday, or online	(As
		of November 2021, the combined church membership stood
		provisionally at around 700.)Services are led by ministers, local
		(lay) preachers and worship leaders.
	2.	Activities for children and young people across various churches
		within the circuit.
	3.	Public availability of pastoral assistance.
	4.	Arrangement ofweddings, baptisms, and funerals
	5.	Availability of church premises for lettings for approved purposes
		to external organisations, subject to individual church councils'
		agreement.

	coronavirus pandemic continued to affect public acts ofworship,
	other church activities and third-party use of church premises
	throughout the year.
7.	Financially, the pandemic resulted in reduced income for
	churches and increased difficulty in maintaining historic levels of
	payments into Circuit funds.
8.	The previous Circuits had both operated a system of 'assessment'
	whereby the circuit calculated the amount of money to be paid by
	each church, however the managing trustees ofthe new Circuit
	replaced this with a 'shares' system which allowed churches
	themselves to determine how much they could afford; hence
	'taxes' were replaced by gifts. Although churches were
	encouraged to maintain historic contributions, some were unable
	to do so due to significant loss of local income.
9.	In planning for the new Circuit, is had been recognised that due
	largely to the intentional policy of stationing five presbyters and
	having four lay employees —an exceptional high level of
	investment in human resources - the Circuit budget would need to
	be balanced by calling on reserves, while maintaining a reserves
	policy of a minimum six months' operational expenditure.
10.The Circuit identified within its budget a Mission Grants Fund to
	which local churches could apply for financial assistance to further
	their work and maintain their property. During the year 620k of
	such funding was awarded.
11.During its first year of operation, the new Circuit replaced its
	inherited bank accounts. Funds to pay ministers' stipends and lay
	employees' salaries were transferred to a single Central Finance
	Board account, with the balance of liquid funds put into a new
	Circuit current account operated by CAF Bank. The former Circuit
	Model Trust Funds were amalgamated into a new trust fund
	consisting of monies available for the mission and ministry of the
	circuit and its churches in accordance with trust fund rules, but not
	otherwise restricted.
12.In January 2021, the former Barrow Hill Methodist Church, which
	had closed in 2019while part ofthe Bolsover and Staveley
	Circuit, was sold and the net income from the sale deposited in
	the Circuit Model Trust Fund with the restriction that it be used to
	further the work ofthe church in the community of Barrow Hill and
	any other communities within the Circuit that were due to be
	included in a forthcoming missional project under the connexional
	New Places for New People initiative.
13.The coronavirus pandemic seriously disrupted the ability of local
	church congregations to meet, resulting in the development of
	Sunday services online. The Circuit was quickly able to initiate
	acts ofworship on Zoom and social media platforms. Efforts were
	also made to provide 'worship at home' materials by post for
	those unable to participate online.
14.Meetings and some other group activities likewise moved online,
	with the Circuit Meeting, Church Councils, and other meetings,
	both business and devotional, being conducted on Zoom.
15.Training and monitoring of local preachers took place across the
	Circuit through the quarterly Circuit Local Preachers' and Worship
	Leaders' meeting.
16.The usual range of mission-oriented activities that typically take
	place in local churches, was severely curtailed due to the
	pandemic. However, even though children's activities, toddler
	groups, 'Messy Church' events, and other activities were often
	unable to take place, churches tried where possible to keep in
	touch with families and individuals when they could not meet.
17.Churches across the Circuit serve the community by providing
	meetin s aces for a variet ofexternal rou s and or anisations,
