The Purley Methodist Circuit gives leadership. encouragemenl and support to its churches as they offer a Christian witness in their locality and develop their individual callings. The staff aim to work as a team and will give significant attention to enabling the mission of the Circuit- primarily through local church initiatives, recognising the gifts of laity, developing and supporting them. appreciating that ultimately laity will do much of the reaching out. We are supporting youth work and children's work in areas and encouraging doser working beiween groups of churches. We have a number of Local Preachers and two Worship Leaders. The Circuit offers shared activities to supplement what each church is able to offer. such as shared evening worship, groups studying theology, youth activities etc. It encourages the spiritual life of local churches and urges them to engage with the local communities in service and evangelism. Ordained and lay staff are valued and one Circuit Steward has special responsibility for their pastoral care. All churches are looking at new ways to address their recovery tM)St-Covid and to look al mission outreach to share the gospel within the community. We confirm that the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Achievements and perforniance a) The Circuit has continued to encourage the local thurches to offer meetings for prayer and Bible study and to find suitable ways to engage with their local communities in service and evangelism while recognising that the pattem of such activities will differ from church to church. Many of these activities resumed face-towface and some churches continued to enable people to participate in worship via Zoom. Some meetings take place via Zoom to enable greater participation. b} The CirGUit has continued to offer events which supplement what each local churGh is able to do by seeking to ensure that there are reasonably frequent opportunities for the churches to come together, for worship. for joint study and for social contsct. Circuit services began to lake place monthly al Hurst Green Methodist Church. c) "The Way Forward. is a Circuit initiative facilitated by Revd Ennal Kirby in which churches were encouraged to consider their situation post-covid and look to the futu. This initiative is ongoing. d) The Circuit has continued to encourage the local churches to reach out and engage with Ghildren, young people and families. This work is particularfy focused on Sanderstead and Warlingham Methodist chuhes. Alongside teams of committed volunteers. these churches each employ a family worker and Warlingham Methodist Church also employs a youth worker. Warlingham Methodist Church is recognised as having a partiGularly effective ministry among children, young people and families and the Circuit is committed to learn from their approach (although not nesSarilY with the same target group). e) The Circuit has sought to ensure that young people are encouraged to meet with other young people from around the Circuit. Wadingham Methodist Church holds a monthly locally arranged youth service called 'lgnff(e', which all the young people in the Circuit are encouraged to attend. The Circuit has encouraged the spiritual development of church members by encouraging the churches to seek vocations to the roles of Local Preacher and Worship Leader, and offering appropriate training to those who come forward and making best use of the talents of members doing local aangement services. g) Tho Circuit has continued to support and encourage the local churches in their ministry and mission.
h) The Circuit has continued to ensure that each church has a recognised person responsible for pastoral oversight. This person works in conjunction with a team of volunteers to communicate and engage with those connected wtth their church to offer appropriate pastoral care, although the means by which this is done varies between churches. i) The Circuit has continued to ensure the implementstion of the Connexional Safeguarding Policy, government legislation. guidance and safe practi in the Circuit and in the churches. To ensure that appropriate safeguarding aangernentS are in pla in the Circuit each church has a designated Safeguarding Officer and their work is supported by the Link Circuit Safeguarding Officer. j) The conversations with the neighbouring Circuit are on hold as each Circuit assesses its situation post-covid. k) Each church is being strongly encouraged and supported to develop a particular focus in improving links to their local community and attraGting new church members.

Financial review The Circuit's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2022 have be8n pr8pared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the 2014 version of Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practsce (SORP) applbcable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS102. Financial position at the end of the reporting period As at 31 August 2022, the net cuent assets of the CircuTt were £61,205 (2021: £88,466) of which £42.66812021: £51,305) was held as a General Fund reserve, £13.474 (2021: £16,561) was held as a designated Manse maintenan Fund reserve, £450 (2021: £450} was held as a designated Benevolence Fund. £4,613 (2021: £20.150) was held in a Circuit Model Trust Fund and nil (2021: £ nil) was held in a Restricted Fund. In addition. investments of £4,700 {2021- £5.015) were held in the Circuit Model Trust Fund. The Circurt Model Trust Fund derives its income from sales of chapels and manses, and the application of the fund is restricted by the Methodist Conferen. However, this restriction is an internal regulation. and the fund can be used for a variety of purposes. subject to approval from the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes. In the year ended 31 August 2022, a grant of £5,000 was made from the Circuit Model Trust Fund towards the Methodist Pension Reserve Fund (2021: no grants). ststement of the Circuit's policy on reserves The Circuit holds reserves in order to secure the viabilty of its future mission. The reserves policy takes into aGGount the Circuit's mission policy, and likely levels of future income and expenditure. based on planned activity. The reserves policy is reviewed annually by the Circuit Meeting. The reserves policy of the Purley Circuit is to hold a General Fund reserve equivalent to 3 months normal expenditure, exduding expenditure on manses. and in addition a Manse Maintenance Fund reserve to allow for the fluctuation in manse expenditure from year lo year. The General Fund reserve at 31 August 2022 was broadly in line with 3 months expenditure, and that is expected to be maintained through 2022123. The Manse Maintenance Fund reserve at 31 August 2022 was considered appropriate in view of likely manse expenditure in the coming years, noting the pending sale of the SelGroft Road Manse and the significant work Gompleted in the year at the other two manses. Significant expenditure is likely at the Cranleigh Gardens property (following its quinquennial survey). The BenevolenGe Fund is applied at the discretion of the Superintendent Minister and the Circuit Leadership Team and is designated for the relief of poverty and distress. The CirGUIt Model Trust Fund is applied to support the mission and development of the Circuit and its individual churches. The pending sale of the Selcroft Road Manse and of Hurst Green Methodist Church in 2023 should replenish the Fund balance which will be needed to generate sufficienl income in 2023124 and onwards towards the increase in expenditures which will result when the new Superintendent takes up his position. The Restiicted Fund derives from emergency funding from the London District for accommodation and removal costs. The balance in this fund reduced to nil in the year to 31 August 2021 and has remained nil through 2021122. Details of any funds materialty in deficit As at 31 August 2022, no funds were in deficit.
Infomlation on income and expendlture In the year ended 31 August 2022, 71 /0 (£113.268) of the Cirwit's income (otherthan capilal receipts) was derived from assessments paid by each of the individual churches in the Circuit, and 16 % 1£24.666) was rental income from the letting of manses. ffhe COespOndIng figures for the year ending 31 August 2021 were 72 % (£126.516) and 27°A (£47.919) respectively.) Following the decision. on 23 September 2020. of the Church Council of Hurst Green Methodist Church to seek permission to discontinue weekly public services and subsequent approvals by the Circuit and by the District Synod, Circuil trustees became the trustees of the church and buildings. In consequence, a Capital Receipt of £900,000 has been recognised based on the advice of our Surveyor, Bruton Knowles. The Circuit trustees are cDnsidering the Circuit's best options which may include disposal over the next year. A local group of Hurst Green church members and others from the Circuit continue to meet in the Hurst Green Church, normally weekly. and each quarter at least one circuit worship service is held there. In the year ended 31 August 2022, 470k (£85.310) of expendtture was on pay and related costs, 14 % (£26,587) was on the maintenance of propety. 70/0 (£12,459) was on other property costs, and 15 % 1£26.053) was the Circuit's contribution to the District and Connexion to fund the work of the wider Methodist Church. induding a levy on the Circuit Model Trust Fund. (The corresponding figures for 2021 were 460/0 (£82,525) on pay and related costs, 9 % (£16.583) on the maintenance of property, 6 /0 (£10,471 } on other property costs, and 15% {£26.047) contribution to the District and Connexion.) Investment policy and objectives Through 2021122 the Investment Policy of the Circuit has been, firstly, to maintain in aggregate cash balances at the Circuit's current account Wtth HSBC and at the Central FinanGe Board Deposit Account an amount sufficient to maintsin the Reserve Policy. The Circuit's investments in the Model Tnjst Funds have been maintained to meet unexpected costs. Property assets are held either to generale income to support the ongoing expenses of the Circutt (Bromford Close) or to provide manses for the Circuit's ministers. It is anticipated that the sale of Hurst Green Methodist Church and of the Selhurst Road Manse will be invested for income and capital purposes in the Circuit's Model Trust Funds.
