Trustees' Annual Report for the period 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2022
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.
The Circuit continues to provide weekly worship materials for use at home. This includes a weekly printed service, telephone worship and links to online worship both live streamed and recorded. The information is sent by email and included on the Circuit website. For those without internet connection the service is sent by post. Regular pastoral letters of support are 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 20% of the cost of improvements or major repairs. In addition the Circuit leadership team also considers funding missional projects in the churches throughout the Circuit.
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 several of the churches in the Circuit.
d) We continue to seek new ways to relate the Christian faith to modern family life through All Age 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 fees to retired ministers for church services that they continue to undertake.
f) The Circuit continues to fund Lay Employees who promote the work of the Methodist Church in North Norfolk.
g) 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 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 monthly payment of stipends and business expenses for ministers and salaries for the part time 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.

Circuit: North Norfolk No. 14/13
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the North Norfolk Methodist Circuit
For the year ended 31 August 2022
Responsibilities and basis of report
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the North Norfolk Methodist Circuit for the year ended 31 August 2022 set out on pages 1 to 3 plus notes showing total cash funds held at the balance sheet date of £341,600. As the Circuit’s trustees, 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 Circuit’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and, in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
The Circuit’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination ~~(other than that disclosed below*)~~ which give me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records; or
-
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
-
the trustees’ annual report is not consistent with the accounts
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.
I ~~have/~~ have not* obtained independent verification of all investments with the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes or held in other trusts, bank balances and funds at the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church which are individually in excess of £10,000 (ten thousand pounds) at the balance sheet date.

Circuit: North Norfolk No. 14/13
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the North Norfolk Methodist Circuit
For the year ended 31 August 2022
Responsibilities and basis of report
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the North Norfolk Methodist Circuit for the year ended 31 August 2022 set out on pages 1 to 3 plus notes showing total cash funds held at the balance sheet date of £341,600. As the Circuit’s trustees, 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 Circuit’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and, in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
The Circuit’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination ~~(other than that disclosed below*)~~ which give me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records; or
-
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
-
the trustees’ annual report is not consistent with the accounts
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.
I ~~have/~~ have not* obtained independent verification of all investments with the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes or held in other trusts, bank balances and funds at the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church which are individually in excess of £10,000 (ten thousand pounds) at the balance sheet date.
