Financial Review
Review cf the charity,
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 121
For the year ended 31. August 2025 the
Circuit prepared feceipls and payments
accounts. They are not a consolidation of
the accounts of churches in the Circuit.
The Circuit budget is prepared by first
anticipating the expenditure for. the
forthcoming year and then delennining how
that sum will be raised.
About 860/0 oflhe unrestricted income for the
year 2024-2025 came from the individual
churches within the Circuit.
Standing Orders require the Circuit lo pay
the District Assessment b8fore any olh8r
commitments and then to pay the 51ipends
and support costs, including the provision
of 8 manse, telephone and travel
expenses, for ministers Stationed in the
Circuit. The Circurf( also employs a part-
time administrator. The cost of these
commitments in the yèar lo 31" August
2025 was £127,998. In addition Ih8re were
other costs lolalling £45,409. including the
costs of selling a former chapel.
Reserves not tied up in fixed assets were
approximately £177k at the year end. Al no
lime during the year was the Circurt
insolvent either in terms of ils assets or in
terms of its ability to pay ils debts as they
became due. All funds are unreslricled with
the exception of the Lees Legacy restricted
funds of £698, funds held for a third party of
£258 and an endowment fund of £4,863.
There is also a deficit in reslricted funds held
by the Circuit for the Kirton Family Worker of
£1,145 which is lo be reimbursed by the
church. The income from the Lees Legacy
fL4nd is administered by the Lees Legacy
Committee which is appointed by the Circuit
Meeting and serves as a b8nevolent fund for
those in need.
Staternent explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 122
The Circuit seeks to use 115 financial
resources wisely and to predict future needs
for capital expenditure on churches, manses
and projects.
Capitsl Assets
The proceeds of sale of the premises of any
Methodist Church or manse within the
Circurt is generally credited to the Circuil.
There is, however. a substantial levy paid to
the Connexion (the Methodist Church in
Great Brilainl so not all the proceeds are
ceived b the Circuit. Durin
the
ear one

former chapel was sold. The Circurt has two
manses.
Exlstlng Commltmgnts
The Circuit has not committed lo any grants
out of it5 ReseNes.
Annual Costs
The Circuit believes that it should ensure
that it has reserves sufficient lo cover the
stipends of ils Presbyters for the full ensuing
year but not to meet any redundancy pay
should this be payable. Al 31 August 2025,
this sum is estimated al £47,500. A part time
Circuit Administrator 15 employed by th&
circuit, with an associated annual cost of
£19,500.
Olher costs of the Circuit 8re estimated *
£40,000 for a full year. The C1￿Ul1 deems it
prudent to hold sufficient lo cover these
costs for six months, i.e £20,000. The lolal
of these projected costs is £87.000. Current
reserves are able lo meet this expenditure.
