TELFORD METHODIST CIRCUIT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission. It does this through: Worship, Learning and Caring, Service and Evangelism.

The circuit includes 13 Methodist churches and 3 LEPs. The circuit provides ministerial oversight, through the support of 2 full time Presbyters, 3 part time supernumerary presbyters and a number of lay workers.

The Circuit provides a benefit to the public by supporting both financially and practically, through the churches across the area. The churches provide a venue for many varied activities throughout the week as well as worship on a Sunday. Their congregations vary between 7 and 137 numbers, are of all age groups and backgrounds. All this is now on hold due to the Covid 19 lockdown and its aftermath. Churches have been using reserves to continue to pay their way to the circuit when churches are closed and income both offerings and lettings are seriously reduced. There is a clear possibility that one or two smaller churches will not re-open.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

An Annual Budget Review is undertaken to consider the current level of funds held, the anticipated expenditure for the forthcoming 12 months, and how this is to be met by contributing churches. The voluntary Share Contribution method to meet this figure has been put on hold in the light of Covid 19 and churches have been invited to make payments to the Circuit as their finances allow for a year. This will have to be reconsidered in the light of changed financial circumstances.

Reserves policy

The Reserves Policy for the Telford Circuit is to hold a sum equivalent to 3 months annual expenditure in the General Fund in order to meet any unforeseen planned activities in the event of the closure of a church or an inability to raise the full income required from churches.

Our restricted funds are held by the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes and we have access to them as appropriate but do not manage the capital.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Safeguarding

Safeguarding continues to be an important area of consideration for the Church and we continue to work with the Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury District and the wider connexion in order to ensure that our policies, training and practices meet both moral and all of the statutory and legal requirements in this area.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TELFORD METHODIST CIRCUIT

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Telford Methodist Circuit

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Telford Methodist Circuit (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Chartered accountant which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

TELFORD METHODIST CIRCUIT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

The financial information presented is relevant, reliable, comparable and complete. Where estimates are used these are based on experience, research and judgement. The accounts are expressed in £ Sterling, rounded to the nearest pound.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £1,000. The freehold property is shown in the accounts at 2017 revaluation. No depreciation is provided on the building because the trustees consider the current residual fair value of the manse buildings (on the assumption that it had reached the end of its useful economic life by the year-end) to be not less than its current value. Any depreciation would not be material. The properties have been reviewed for impairment and are being maintained in good repair.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
