SHIRLEY METHODIST CHURCH TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Charttable donatlons During the year 2022-23 approximately £5,000 was raised for extemal charities including All We Can (the Methodist Relief & Development agency). Action for Children, Methodist Homes, Leprosy Mission, and Christian Aid. We also act as a drop-off point for donations to a local food bank. {Note: some of the money will have been sent directly to the Charity so will not appear in the accounts). Eco Church Shirley Methodist Church supports the Eco Church movement. At present we are a bronze award hold￿ and are wotl(ing towards silver.

The Churches cooperate with publicity in the local press at major festivals. There are joint events such as Good Friday Walk of Wtness arnl the churches are regularly linked by Prayer Envoys. Safeguarding Shirley Methodist Church commits it*lf to ensuring the implementation of Connexional Safeguarding Policy, govemment legislation, guidance and safe practice within our Church premises. There is a safeguarding officer appointed by Church Council. Financial review The financial statements show a surplus for the year of £5,037 {2023: £8,025 deficit), and the total fund balance at 31 August 2024 was £84,276. During the year legacies totalling £Nil were received (2023.. £Nil).

SHIRLEY METHODIST CHURCH TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Resenies policy The Church needs to hold reserves primarily to manage the funds passing through its accounts. On the expenditure side there are a number of substantial items that arise and are settled on a quarterly basis, whilst on the income side offerings, room hire and Gift Aid tax relief claims vary widely month to month. Secondly, reserves are held to provide for funds for future projects to develop the work of the Church andlor maintain or improve Ihe fabric and facilities of the Church buildings. As Trustees, the members of Church Council believe that the Church should seek to hold, in the Gereral Fund, primary resenies of £30,000. The secondary reserves, held in the Designated Funds, arise from surpluses transferred from the general operations of the Church plus individual substantial donations and leg￿leS received from time to time. The size of such reseNes varies over time because of the nature of the income and also the adoption of particular projects. These typically see work to raise ￿ndS prior to the project being undertaken and the costs incurred. These reserves are also held against unforeseen contingencies. The target for secondary reserves is a further sum equal to that for the primary reSe￿e$. For the year to 31 August 2024 annual expenditure totalled £116,678 and the reserves held stood at £40,897 in the Unrestricted Fund and a further £43,379 in the Restricted Funds. The Restricted Funds received a substantial legacy in the year 2013 and this is being used to fund developments over a few years. The position on reserves is reviewed in quarterly figures and this policy will be formally considered in the preparation of the annual accounts each year. The Future The cost of living crisis following the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict has been a challenge, with fvel costs being a particular COn￿rn. However at the present time, the Church's finances are in a satisfactory position with cash reserves in excess of our advised minimum of £40,000. We pray for God's guidance as we seek a way forward. and that Shirley Methodist Church will continue to be a hub of activity on the Shirley High Street in our community. Major risks The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. Structure, governance and management The governing document for the Church is the Deed of Union (1932) and the Methodist Church Ad (1978). Detailed governan￿ arrangements are outlined within the Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church by order of the annual conference (CPD). Day to day management of the Church is undertaken by the Church Leadership Team along with the Minister.

Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activty. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
