Within the Methodist Church, local Churches, Circuits and Districts are not defined as lexternall grant-making bodies. Funds, in excess of those required for the general operation of Mid Cornwall CircLJit, are invested with the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes. Policy on grant-making,. Policy programme related investment,. Much of the oversight, management, and day-to-day activity of Mid Cornw311 Circuit is undertaken by volunteers (lay peoplel. Contribution made by volunteers. We continue to explore new ways of working to enable the circuit to move forward and serve the community both now and in the future and the Circuit Leadership Team has looked at how we can utilize our human resource5 (lay staff) effectively. Section D Achievements and performance summary ofthe main achievements of the charity during the year The outworking of our Christian faith, and the key emphasis within the Methodist Church as a whole, is seen in the prioritv we place on social holiness. In particular how we share and demonstrate the good news of God in Jesus Christ. Based on what we believe, we seek in all we do to be a blessing to the communities in which we live, work, and Serve. Our practical Christianity provides added value to our communities. Thi5 can easily be overlooked or even dismissed as of little importance, for much of what we do 15 not overt or Showy. Underpinning all that we do, in our local church familie5 and together as a Methodist circuit, is our faithfulness and commitment to serve the God of the Church and all creation. This enables us to provide, help and support food and clothes banks; street pastors,. preschool activities and event5 for families and individuals,. communities event5,' Opportunities to share in food and fellowship with a range of coffee mornings and lunch clubs,. varied places for people to meet to counter the loneline55 many people experience in a seemingly disconnected world. This work and activity are all a part of our ongoing endeavour to love God and to love our neighbour. Amal mation of Truro Circult and New ua Perran nes Circuit- Now known as Mid Cornwall Circuit orth&St After meeting with the various st3ke holders and variou5 chapel members, the agreed amalgamation of the two circuits came into being on I September 2022. This involved the assets and liabilities held by the Newquay, Perranporth & St Agnes Methodist Circuit Iregistration number 11394811 being transferred to Mid Cornwall Circuit. Newquay, Perranporth, St Agnes Methodist Circuit has since been removed from the Charity Commission register. Whilst there were a few challenges, the process, with thanks to the hard work of the Superintendent, Ministers and lay staff, was so to say seamless. This growth can be seen in the expansion of the engagement team, and various combined activities and events across the tircuit. Eco Circuit We have joined the Eco Circuit and Eco District in supporting the growing interest in Eco Church. The urgency of the climate crisis is increasingly clear and in response to a ca15 on all churches acros5 the country, we have begun to implement measures to reduce the churches carbon footprint / emissions and to reduce its impact on God's creation. Cost-of-Livin Crises Ukrainian Refu ees Assistance A number of chapels within the Circuit offered 'warm spaces, to help people get through the difficulties of the winter. These are plèces where people have been able to come and get warm, have a free hot drink, and a bite to eat and charge their phone. Due to the cost-of-living crisis, we have seen the numbers of people parhcipating in this initiative grow on a weekly bas15. A Ukrainian 'drop in, centre was created for Ukrainian refugees to meet with volunteers and tran51ators. During these meetings we were able to assist with queries around schools, employment, English lessons etc. These have all been opportunities to be the hands and feet of Christ through the church providing for those in need. Section E Financial Review It is the policy of the Circuit to hold at least six month5 expenditure in hand (approximately £263kl. Reserves are currently £566k. The excess balance is held in reserve to support mission and ministry projects of the Circuit and individual Churches. The financial statements show a surplus of £1,943,330 for the year. However, this includes transfers of £1,368,279 from Newquay, Perranporth & St Agnes Methodist CircLJit on the amalEamation and unrealised gains of £409,449 on revaluing the investment propertie5 held by the Circuit.

Section F Other optional information Future plans of the charity ecognising the challenging environment for the Church in terms of attendance, age of congregations, receptivity of community, etc., we will continue to invest resource5 into the employment of lay staff and presbyters to seek to pioneer new Christian outreach and Service opportunitres. The new-build church project at Newquay will be completed in the financial year12024-251 and the Hub project at Truro should get underway.
