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
Many of the churches within the Central Norfolk Circuit had reopened by September 2020, adhering to all Government guidelines. Strict social distancing was observed, and some churches introduced a ‘booking’ system to ensure church buildings were not overcrowded. Track and trace forms were completed, masks worn, windows and door left open for ventilation and sanitiser was provided throughout.
Some churches, however, remained closed or changed worship patterns and met less frequently. Further closures then took place during the lockdowns of November 2020 and January to March 2021. Many of the initiatives the Circuit introduced at the start of the pandemic therefore continued, and other new initiatives were added;
- Production of the ‘Worship at Home’ sheet, for Circuit members to use for weekly worship in their own homes, continued and, by 31[st] August 2021, 76 editions had been produced . Members were encouraged to use the sheet to worship at a specific time in order to continue to feel part of the church community. It continued to be distributed within the Circuit, by post, by hand, or via email. A rota for writing the reflection for the Worship Sheet was added to the quarterly Preaching Plan.

-
In November 2020, the Circuit started using Zoom for regular Sunday services. Whilst there had been a few ‘special’ services held via Zoom, and The Pilgrim Church at Walsingham had been using it for fortnightly services, up to this point it had not been widely used as for worship across the Circuit. However, during lockdown in November, worship took place via Zoom at 11.15 am and 6 pm each Sunday. This then continued throughout the lockdown in early 2021. The services were attended by a large number of people from all churches within the Circuit.
-
‘Tuesday at 7’ was a new initiative which started in January 2021. There was a weekly meeting via Zoom, and each week had different theme;
-
1[st] Tuesday – Quiz night
-
2[nd] Tuesday - 'Share': (A favourite Poem for example)
-
3[rd] Tuesday: 'Coffee and Meet' (A member of Circuit staff)
-
4[th] Tuesday: 'Introduction to' (Mark’s Gospel, for example)
-
5[th] Tuesday: Something Different!
-
Also via Zoom, there was a short time of prayer from 8.45 – 9 am on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday mornings using a mixture of the Methodist Worship Book, the Methodist Prayer Handbook and open prayer. There was also the opportunity to participate in prayer via ‘Prayer Wheels’, involving each participant receiving, and making, one telephone call to pass on the prayer topics of the day.
-
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.
-
‘Thought for the Day’ continued on the Circuit Facebook page. There was also an Advent calendar during December 2020, and in January 2021, a New Year Challenge posted each day during and ’60 at 6’ - candle-lighting at 6 pm each day for 60 seconds to enable prayer for particular people and situations.
-
The Circuit Website continued to provide information, news and publications, worship resources, photographs. Over 250 photographs were sent in from around the Circuit for the ‘virtual’ Open Gardens event which took place throughout the Summer.
-
In October 2020, the Circuit meeting took place via Zoom. Although attendance was slightly down on previous ‘actual’ meetings, it was an opportunity to catch up on decisions regarding Circuit business, finances and property. Further Zoom Circuit meetings were held in March and June 2021.
-
In the Autumn of 2020, a new Circuit project was created at a closed chapel in Great Cressingham. The Hive is a ‘new place for new people’ - a centre for creativity, spirituality and well-being, connecting with people in today’s world. The project was launched on 19th December with an outdoor Son et Lumiere called The Christmas Story. It continues to hold a seasonal series of events and attracts people from the local community along with other members of the Circuit.
-
As part of the Rural Replanting Project, a community garden was created at Blakeney Methodist Church and Walsingham began to gradually reopen to visitors, pilgrims and for occasional services.
Financial Review
The Trustees report a net loss of income of £86,570
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.
7
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
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.

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.

-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

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.

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