## **Organisational Management**

## **The Central Norfolk Methodist Circuit 14/15** 

## **Mission Statement** 

## _**Aim:**_ 

**Our mission is to live and share the good news of God’s love in Jesus Christ** 

## _**Objectives:**_ 

We are therefore committed to: 

## **1. Connecting the Circuit as One:** 

      - To Enrich Worship. 

      - To provide a joyful and relevant Christian presence in our communities. 

      - To respond to the Holy Spirit and to be open for change and hope for the future. 

      - To be effective in communication. 

**2. Working in partnership,** wherever possible, with other churches, faith and community groups; and to support the Church’s wider mission. 

**3. Support all our activities in prayer** , by encouraging words and practical actions. 

**4. Nurturing** mutual support and pastoral care, enhanced by Christian education and training for all ages. 

**5. Develop Circuit Teams** that use peoples’ gifts, skills and abilities that can be shared in these areas: 

   - Worship, 

   - Learning and Caring, 

   - Mission and Evangelism, 

   - Under 19’s and 

   - Finance and Property. 

To be reviewed as required. 

Each church is urged to explore what this means for them, involving all members of the church community. (Updated March 2013). 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The Central Norfolk Circuit has, like all charities, has had to adapt it methods and practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. All of the churches within the Circuit had closed by mid March 2020, and new ways of worship and communication had to be employed. These included; 

- Producing a ‘Worship at Home’ sheet for Circuit members to use for weekly worship in their own homes. Members were encouraged to worship at a specific time in order to continue to feel part of the church community. It was distributed to over 400 people within the Circuit, either by post, by hand during daily exercise, or via email. The number of people it has reached exceeded the number of people who would have actually attended a church service has churches remained open. Each week, the Worship at Home sheet includes a message. A wide number of people from contributed these messages, including Circuit staff, local preachers and a number of ‘guests’, including the Chair of the East Anglia Methodist District. 

- For special Christian events, such as Lent and Easter, additional resources were provided with suggestions for appropriate activities, e.g. making a palm cross or creating an Easter Garden. 

- Pastoral care continued under the guidance of the Circuit staff, through regular phone calls, letters and emails. Some churches also organised volunteers to shop etc for other, more vulnerable, members of the community. 



7 

- The creation of the Circuit Facebook page. There are daily posts on this page, including ‘Thoughts for the Day’ which are written from people within the Circuit, including staff and local preachers. Also included were suggestions for activities and worshiping at home during Lent and Easter. 

- A Circuit Website was created, containing information about the Circuit as a whole, the individual churches, news and publications, worship resources, photographs and a calendar of events (mostly virtual). 

- Both the March and June 2020 Circuit meetings were cancelled. Instead, members agreed that any pressing decisions that needed to be made during this time could be delegated to the Circuit Leadership Team, who were able to meet via Zoom. A list of delegated decisions was circulated to the Circuit meeting members. 

- The Rural Replanting Pioneer continued to work on the project which pioneers a new future for rural Methodism as chapels come to the end of their life. Two such churches within the Circuit merged to form ‘The Pilgrim Methodist Church’. 

- The Circuit Leadership team agreed that an assessment holiday should be offered to all churches for the first quarter of the pandemic, as they were mindful that income from weekly collections and rental income had ceased. Careful consideration, therefore, had to be given to managing Circuit finances and preparing the budget for 2020/21. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Trustees report a net loss of income of £17,617. 

The Trustees continue to keep all financial policies under review. 

## **Investment Policy** 

In accordance with the Trust documentation, the Trustees have the power to invest in such stocks, shares, investments and property as they consider appropriate.  The Trustees have used this power to invest in the funds of the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church.  In common with many other investment funds, the valuation of the funds showed a modest increase over the year. 

The Trustees continue to monitor the funds of the Circuit to enable clear and prudent policy decisions on expenditure. 

## **Risk Assessment and Management** 

During the year under review, the Trustees have maintained oversight of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, resulting in risk management strategies being implemented. 

Risks to which the organisation may be exposed are identified by the Trustees and kept under regular review. 

## **Reserves** 

It is the policy of the charity to hold reserves in its unrestricted funds which have not yet been committed or designated for any particular purpose.  The Trustees have set aside these reserves in order to protect the future operations of the charity from the effects of any unforeseen variations in its income as part of a policy of good financial practice. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have reviewed the activities of the past year in line with the Charity Commission guidance on public interest benefit. 

The aims and objectives of the Central Norfolk Circuit are within those guidelines and are interpreted by the District as providing specific benefit to those who are members of the Methodist Church 



8 

## **Future Plans** 

In addition to an ongoing commitment to provide effective resources for the members, local churches and within the Central Norfolk Circuit, the Trustees are committed to: 

- Ensure the appointment and deployment of ordained ministry throughout the Circuit. 

- Provide support for those who have oversight of safeguarding procedures for children, young people and vulnerable adults. 

- Develop partnerships with other churches. 

## **Auditors** 

A resolution proposing that Arden Kendall Limited be re-appointed as the independent external examiner of the charity will be put to the Circuit Meeting. 

## **Declarations**

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), and that they show a true and fair view of the state of the Central Norfolk Circuits affairs.  In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Central Norfolk Circuit will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Central Norfolk Circuit and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and Trust Deed. 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. 

In so far as the Trustees are aware: 

- There is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditors are unaware. 

- The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
