Trustees' Annual Report for the period 1st September 2019 to 31st August 2020 Charity Name: **North Norfolk Methodist Circuit** Charity Registration Number: **1134993** Structure, governance and management: Governing document: Deed Of Union (1932) and Methodist Church Act (1976) How charity is constituted: Act of Parliament Trustee selection methods: Appointed by local churches and existing trustees. Ministers are automatically trustees. Additional Governance Issues: Induction/training: Range of guidance produced by Methodist - Connexion. Leaflet ‘The Role of a Trustee in The Methodist Church’ given to each trustee. Structure: Part of the East Anglia District. Accountable to the Methodist Conference. - Related Parties: The Circuit is represented at District Synod by representatives from the list of trustees. Risks: Considered by the Circuit Leadership Team who take professional advice as required. There is a regular review process. The Circuit has adopted the Connexional Safeguarding Policy and ensured it is rolled out to the churches. ## **Objectives and activities:** Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document : 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. ## **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objectives:** The Circuit produces a quarterly preaching plan to ensure regular acts of worship take place at each of the Methodist Churches in its geographical area. These are open to all people, without charge. At the beginning of the Covid19 pandemic and the national lockdown, the leadership team acted to provide weekly worship materials for use at home. This included a weekly printed service, telephone worship and links to online worship both live streamed and recorded. The information was sent by email and included on the circuit website. For those without internet connection the service was sent by post. Regular pastoral letters of support were also shared. We confirm the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities:** Policy on grant-making: Besides its general funds the Circuit has a Model Trust Fund which derives from sales of chapels and/or manses that are no longer required and is restricted by the Conference. This restriction is an internal regulation though the fund can be used for a variety of purposes. The Circuit Leadership team has drawn up a set of ground rules, which have been accepted by the Circuit Meeting, to ensure grants made from the Circuit Model Trust Fund are used effectively for mission and capital works. Circuit policy permits individual churches to apply for grants of up to 10% of cost of improvements or major repairs. ## **Achievements and performance:** Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year: a) Circuit Safeguarding Policy Document – This is reviewed annually (at the March Circuit Meeting) and updated as required to reflect current legislation and the activities of the Circuit. b) The Circuit Safeguarding Officer ensures that people in all churches receive the relevant safeguarding training for their role and training sessions are held on a regular basis. c) The Circuit continues to grow its work among the homeless, impoverished and lonely. Support is offered through Community Cafes in five communities. When cafes were forced to close due to Covid19 regulations contact and support was offered remotely and later by meeting in groups of six outside. d) We continue to seek new ways to relate the Christian faith to modern family life through Messy Church and through cafe style worship in some churches. e) The Circuit acts as an umbrella organisation for the work of the Methodist Church in North Norfolk. It provides financial and property resources for the ministerial team and small fees to retired ministers for church services that they continue to undertake. f) The Circuit also provides for a significant part of the salaries for three Lay Employees who work to promote the work of the Methodist Church. During the pandemic, this has included building up an online presence for family support, including story and song times, delivering messy church style resources to households as well as co-ordinating the provision of food parcels for struggling families. g) Small grants continue to be made to churches in respect of approved repair and investment works that they wish to undertake. h) The aims of the Methodist Church Our Calling Process have been reinforced and will continue to underpin all that we do to promote the work of the Circuit as a charitable body concerned for the needs of others. ## **Financial Review:** The Reserves Policy for the North Norfolk Circuit is to hold a sum equivalent to 3 months' average expenditure. This should be sufficient to meet any unforeseen item of major expenditure on manses and/or be able to continue, in the short term, funding planned activities in the event of the closure of a large church or an inability to raise the full Circuit Assessment from churches. It is necessary to hold sufficient working capital to enable the quarterly payment of stipends and business expenses for 3 ministers and salaries for 2 part time Pastoral Lay Employees and one Administration Lay Employees plus contributions to the District. There are no funds materially in deficit. The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above. Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees.
