Leadershi
and Mana
ement
Leadership and the day-to-day management of the circuit, its finances, properties and activities are
exercised by The Circuit Leadership Team which consists of the Circuit Superintendent, other Circuit
ministers, Circuit Young People's Pioneer, Circuit Community Pioneer, and Circuit Stewards (as named
above). In addition, the Circuit employs administrative staff.
Summar
of Activities:
Much of the activity in relation to the circuit's objectives is undertaken by local churches, which are
interconnected at Circuit level for the 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

Derbyshlre North East
Trustees, Annual report for the year ended 31yl August 2024
c) organisation of preachers, including accreditation of new preachers, ongoing review, and through
publication of the quarterly preaching plan allocation of accredited preachers to take all services
d) to develop Circuit policies and maintain a strategic Circuit Mission Plan.
e) to promote new initiatives in line with Circuit Policy, but outside the scope of existing churches
acting individually
f) to facilitate the sharing of activities and resources across the churches of the Circuit
g) to manage the Circuit Budget to develop new initiatives, and to enable financial contributions to
support the work of District and Connexion.
h) to provide manses of appropriate standard for Presbyters stationed within the Circuit
i) to encourage the sharing together in complementary ways of lay and ordained staff in every part of
the 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.
In 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 of the fourteen individual churches within the Circuit, which with one exception
(Central Methodist Church, Chesterfield) are exempted charities, included..
1. Public acts of worship on Sundays and other days at churches, or online. Services are led by
ministers, local (lay) preachers and worship leaders. At year end the combined church membership
stood provisionally at 584.
2. Activities for children and young people across various churches within the circuit.
3. Public availability of pastoral assistance.
4. Arrangement of weddings, baptisms, and funerals.
5. Availability of church premises for lettings for approved purposes to external organisations, subject
to individual church councils, agreement.
Contribution of Volunteers:
The managing trustees all serve in an voluntary capacity with the exception of presbyters stationed within
the circuit who receive stipends and those lay employees who act as trustees who each receive a salary
from the Circuit.
Achievements:
l. The circuit continued to support the work of its fourteen churches in many ways.
2. Public acts of worship were held regularly on Sundays at each church in the Circuit, whilst certain
services were hybrid services enabling those unable to attend in person to participate online.
3. In addition to public worship, missional activities have continued to take place at various places
across the circuit including children's activities. toddlers, groups and messy church events.
4. Several churches have also been active in providing support for their local community through
initiatives such as coffee morning; luncheon clubs for those who live alone and by hosting warm
spaces, the latter often being grant funded by the local authority.
5. Churches across the circuit have also provided meeting places for a variety of external community
organisations, many of which enjoy a close relationship with the churches beyond the formal letting
agreements which apply.
6. Ministry across the circuit was exercised by five presbyters in pastoral charge of the fourteen
churches, supported by supernumerary ministers and accredited local preachers, who together
preached at over 750 public acts of worship during the year. Training and monitoring of local
preachers and worship leaders took place across the circuit principally through the quarterly Circuit
leaders of Worship and Preachers, meeting.
7. At the end of the year, Rev. Sean Adair completed his term as superintendent minister of the circuit
to become a minister without appointment to undertake academic research within the Methodist
Church. Also at the year end, Rev. Tracey Harris was stationed to the Derby Circuit and Rev.

a k Deibyshlre North E8$t
Margaret Mwailu retired. Rev. Richard Harris and Rev. Mark Carrick were set to continue their
ministry in the Circuit until 2028 and 2030 respectively.
8. Since the policy was to retain three full time presbyters, the Circuit entered into the Connexional
stationing process but failed to obtain by this route a new minister to take up a five-year
appointment from September 2024. It was instead agreed to a seek a local lay pastor, and the
appointment of Mr. Bradley Goddon-smith was made just before the year end, to commence in
September 2024. To assist with ordained staffing, Rev. Debbie Hodgson, a supernumerary minister
already living and worshipping in the Circuit, indicated a willingness to undertake a temporary part-
time appointment from January 2025. In this way the circuit adjusted its future staffing for at least
the short term while it considered further whether to enter the stationing process for 2026.
9. Following the resignation of the Circuit Youth Worker in August 2023, a new part-time post of Circuit
Young People's Pioneer was created, and Mr. Thomas Surgay was duly appointed to that role in
January 2024.
10. In view of the increasing shortage of Circuit stewards likely to be available to continue serving in
future years, Mr. Alexander Bradley was appointed part-time Circuit Office Manager just before the
year end, to commence in September 2024. This was to help increase the capacity of the Circuit
office to fulfil mainly financial and property-related functions, Circuit stewards, would in accordance
with standing orders retain on behalf of the Circuit Meeting the responsibility for oversight in these
respects.
11 . The five manses for which the circuit is responsible were maintained by the Circuit to ensure that
the accommodation needs of presbyters and their families were met. With up to three manses
surplus to requirements from September 2024, the Circuit agreed that the Bolsover manse would be
sold, and the Loundsley Green manse let, with options to retain or otherwise dispose of the Hasland
manse left open pending a clearer assessment of need during 2024125.
12. Further quinquennial inspections were undertaken at six churches and four manses. The Circuit
includes in its five-year rolling programme of property inspections all local church buildings as well
as its own properties.
13. The circuit has continued to work in partnership with The Freedom Community project, a Christian
charity working to support people who are struggling with poverty in the Bolsover area. During the
ye.ar, the former Hillstown Methodist Church building continued to accommodate the charities
foodbank and administrative offices, however, by year-end, due to an opportunity to move to larger
premises, notice had been given to vacate the property, which was rented from the circuit, initiating
discussions on the future of the building.
14. Safeguarding training and DBS checks were varied out as required for presbyters, lay employees and
volunteers across the circuit and its churches in accordance with the safeguarding policies of the
Connexion, the Circuit, and of local churches.

The Circuit may from time to time make grants to its constituent churches, individuals and to external
beneficiaries in support of any purpose consistent with the provisions of CPD and the Calling of the
Methodist Church, subject to the agreement of the Circuit Meeting and that of the District and Connexion
where relevant.

Reserves Polic
It is the policy of the Circuit to maintain liquid funds equivalent to at least six months, operational
expenditure. This is principally the costs of the ministers, stipends, lay employees, salaries, routine property
maintenance, travel and other expenses and the payment of the District Assessment. During the year, the
Circuit was able to maintain reserves above the policy minimum although year-on-year cash balances have
declined.
