The aim of The Methodist Church in Great Britain is to fulfil its calling, which is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission. The purposes of the Methodist Church are and shall be deemed to have been since the Date of Union the advancement of: a) The Christian faith in accordance with the doctrinal standards and discipline of 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. - The organisation and resourcing of regular public acts of worship open to members of the church and non-members alike - The teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups. - The resourcing of pastoral work including visiting the sick and bereaved. - Taking religious assemblies in local schools. - Promotion of Christianity through the staging of events and services. - Provision of chaplaincy services to the local university and other institution ## **Our Circuit** We have … 15 churches (16 worshipping congregations) Arnold, Aspley, Awsworth, Bestwood Park (LEP), Burton Joyce, Calverton, Gedling Road, Hucknall Central with Hucknall Eastside, Nuthall, Phoenix Farm, Ravensworth Road, Rise Park (LEP), Sherwood, St Johns, Thurgarton - 9 paid staff - 4 Presbyters – Rev R Byass, Rev A Charlesworth, Rev Y Case, Rev J Wiseman - 3 Deacons – Deacon J Jones, Deacon J Morton, Deacon H Snowball - 1 Youth Worker – Mr M Williamson - 1 Administrator / Finance Officer – Mrs C Smith CHARITY NUMBER 1134223 1 5 Volunteer Circuit Stewards – Mr D Blount, Ms J Compton, Mrs L Johnson, Mr I Pickering, Mrs V Stone ## 3 Volunteer Safeguarding Officers Mrs M Carter, Mrs L Johnson, Miss G Surgay ## **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 … - Prayer and Worship - Discernment and Calling - Discipleship and Evangelism - Service and Caring - Communication and Resources ## **Our Achievements this year** 1. **Development of circuit vision** - As we considered our vision as a circuit there were a number of things we had to consider, including: - The Methodist Church, and how we are responsible for our churches as well as being accountable to the District and, in turn, the Connexion; - What “leadership” looks like; - Being sure of who it is we serve, both in terms of God and the churches and congregations we have locally; - Assessing what we have and what we need by way of resources and where our strengths and weaknesses are; - Acknowledging that we are part of a bigger picture in the Kingdom of God; - 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 2 ## **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 CHARITY NUMBER 1134223 3 Provide resources for Discipleship Pathways Meet annually with significant church office holders e.g. treasurers / safe guarding officers Produce Lent and Advent Study books Offer a printing service Support local churches in their mission and ministry ## **7. Legal / Church Requirements** Safeguarding – we … Review the Circuit Safeguarding Policy annually Maintain a database of all safeguarding requirements Have held 4 training sessions of the Methodist Church Foundation course Liaise with district regarding Methodist Church advanced module training Have met with church safeguarding officers to give advice and support GDPR – we … Have held zoom meetings with church representatives to help them fulfil all GDPR requirements Have provided newsletters and the required documents to give information to churches Annual Returns – we … Have ensured that all churches complete their Methodist Church annual returns and provided help when needed. Property – we … Have ensured that all property inspections have been completed Maintained all circuit held properties in good order Finances – we … Have appointed a finance officer Have subscribed to some finance software to give better organisation of our records Have kept a watchful eye on balances and sought to transfer funds from reserves as and when needed using the correct mandates ## **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.

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: - Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; CHARITY NUMBER 1134223 7 - Observe the methods and principles in the appropriate charities SORP; - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation - State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements. The Trustees are responsible for maintaining the proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements. This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice; Accounting and Reporting by Charities. ## **Declarations** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s) Position (e.g. Secretary, Chair, etc) Date** CHARITY NUMBER 1134223 8 charity number 1134223 **Statement of Accounts and Financial Activity September 1st 2021 – 31st August 2022** **Charity Address NNE Circuit Office c/o Bestwood Park Methodist Church Beckhampton Rd Nottingham NG5 5NG office@nnemethodist.org.uk 07988 538420** **NNE** ## **Balance Sheet detailed** ## **Fixed assets** ## **Current assets** ## **Reserves** ||**As at**
