Our Circuit Vision Statement

Following the formation of the Nottingham North East Circuit in September 2020, we have now developed our vision statement:

(Equipping) TRANSFORMATION (through God's Love) We do this through …

Our Achievements this year

  1. Development of circuit vision

  2. As we considered our vision as a circuit there were a number of things we had to consider, including:

  3. The Methodist Church, and how we are responsible for our churches as well as being accountable to the District and, in turn, the Connexion;

  4. What “leadership” looks like;

  5. Being sure of who it is we serve, both in terms of God and the churches and congregations we have locally;

  6. Assessing what we have and what we need by way of resources and where our strengths and weaknesses are;

  7. Acknowledging that we are part of a bigger picture in the Kingdom of God;

  8. How we honour the fact that our churches are part of both our Circuit family, and their local communities, each seeking to be a unique and beautiful expression of a faith-filled Christian presence where they are.

Our Circuit Vision is now the starting point for how we work as a circuit

2. Prayer and Worship

We continue to support our Preachers, Worship leaders and those in training through quarterly meetings.

We engaged in Bible Month across the circuit looking at the Book of Isaiah We continued to provide a weekly service for churches to distribute to members who are no longer able to attend worship in person.

We are aware that there are a significant number of Local Arrangements on the preaching plan each quarter and so will be seeking to see how we can support churches to cover these.

CHARITY NUMBER 1134223

3. Discernment and Calling

We seek to be a circuit where churches and individuals can consider their calling by providing appropriate support.

Unfortunately, two of our current churches are currently prayerfully considering their future and so we will be supporting them through this process, both practically in terms of processes, but spiritually as they seek to discern where God may be calling them to.

Our Deacon working in the City Centre is currently exploring the needs of the City Centre, working with other faith and non-faith groups and considering how a Methodist Presence may look like, and how that could be established.

4. Discipleship and evangelism

Using the “Our Calling” framework and the “Discipleship Pathways” we are considering how we may encourage local churches and individuals in their discipleship during 2022 – 2023. This will necessitate good communication and provision of resources (see below)

As we have moved out of COVID many churches are having to evaluate how they might continue to be evangelists in their communities. Again, we will be looking to how we might support them in this in the next connexional year.

5. Service and caring

We celebrate the various ways in which our churches serve their communities through Mental Health Cafes Coffee Mornings Providing lunches Supporting foodbanks Toddler groups Work amongst young people Fellowship Groups Supporting the work of uniformed organisations Generosity in hiring buildings out ‘Open the book’ programmes in schools And many others which we probably don’t know about.

6. Communication and Resources

We … Have weekly staff meetings Have produced newsletters explaining GDPR Have had zoom meetings to help with GDPR Have produced study booklets for Advent and Lent Provide weekly written services Have a website which is regularly updated Have an active social media presence Offer to pay for worship resources for Local Preachers Assign a circuit steward to each church council Circulate notices / information via senior church stewards

We aim to… Improve our communication with churches Provide help with trusteeship

8. Purchase of New Building

In November 2021 we completed the purchase of a building adjacent to Bestwood Park Church. Following commission of the building the circuit office was established there in March 2022. In July 2022 a licence was signed with the Charity Pulp Friction to run a community café. The congregation at Bestwood Park are working towards moving to this building for worship in September 2022 and will seek to develop both this new building and the existing building to spread God’s love in this community.

Finances

Our financial statements accounts and reserves policy are attached to this report. We are aware that we have been running at a significant deficit over the past year. We have consciously used our unrestricted reserves funds to address this deficit. We have encountered extraordinary, significant costs in purchasing and commissioning the new building, a building which will however, be used in service to a deprived area of the city.

CHARITY NUMBER 1134223

4

We continue to be aware of the likelihood of there being a deficit in the coming financial year and will be seeking to address this while continuing to use reserves to enable us to support local churches with staff and other resources.

Trustee Training

All trustees are made aware of their responsibilities. For the connexional year 2022 – 2023 we are developing an introduction pack containing essential documents and trustee declaration forms. We will also be seeking to appoint new trustees in accordance with the Methodist Church Safer Recruiting Procedures.

Related Parties

The Circuit is part of the Nottingham & Derby District and is also accountable to the Methodist Conference.

Risk Management

The major risks have been identified and recorded by the Circuit Leadership Team, with professional advice taken as required. Following the sudden illness of the proposed circuit treasurer in Autumn 2020 we have been looking to develop and enhanced our financial procedures. This has included development of the circuit administrator’s role to include that of circuit finance officer, using a software package to produce the accounts, seeking a better way of managing day to day transactions in the context of changing banking practices (e.g. on line banking) whilst keeping in line with charity commission requirements. There is a regular annual review process undertaken and recorded.

Income and Expenditure is being monitored is monitored at each meeting of the Circuit Leadership team as part of the risk management process to avoid unforeseen calls on reserves.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provision of the Trust Deed require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the Charity for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
