Risk Assessmont
The Trusteès have examined the major strategic business and operational risks whi¢h the
charity faces and confirm that systems have been established lo enable regular reports to be
produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to monitor these risks. These are reviewed
by lh8 District L8ad8rship Team.
With regards to issues of Safeguarding, the District employs a Safeguarding Advocate
who has professional expertise in this matter and there is a well-resourced Dislricl
Safeguarding Group. Wrth effect from 1 September 2025. the work of District
Safeguarding Offic8rs has b88n transferred to new connexionally employed Regional
Officers for Safeguarding. A considerable amount of time and effort is placed in the
training and resourcing of personnel both within th8 District and in support of circuits
and local ¢hur¢hes.
Inabillty to obtain assessments from Circuits. Although this Distdct would not be liable for
any shortfall in the assessment paid by any Circuil within the Distrt¢tto the Methodist Church
Fund (the Connexionl. the Dislrtcl may. nonèlhele55, feel the need to make up any shortfall.
Thls rfsk has Increased considerably slnc8 the impact of lh8 Covid-19 pandemic. Local
churches and drcults ar8 n88ding lo draw on their ￿$8￿8S as income from congregational
giving and letting income has generally reduced. However. overall, churches and circuits
continue lo demonstrate considerdbk resilience in the face of these hard tim8s. Thè Dlstricl
will continue to closely monitor the position in all the Circuits.
Inabilrty to attract trustees wrth adequate skills. The District is heavily d8pend8nt on the
skills of volunteers, especially those who are trustees. At present. this risk is deemed
low.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The District Accounts indLKles'
(al
Th8 General Account which is the main operatirKJ account through which the expenditure
and revenue for both operational and straleglc purposes are handled. During the year the
Dlslrict received total income of £3,135.349 (2024: £1.466,491 } and dispersed £2.330,361
12024.. £1.471.1771. The overall surplus for the year was £804.98812024.' deficit of £4,686),
which was in Ilne Wrth expectations. The risks of operating the finances of Ihe District are
judged to be minim81. Al Circuit payments which contribute to the operating account wèrè
made on b'me in line with the payment Sevels which were agreed by the Circuit meetings,
DPC and District synod. Any Circuits which have difficulty in meeting their District
obligations are encouraged to contact the District.
The trustees of the District have every reason to believe that the District is a golng
concem, principalty bo¢ause Circutts ¢ontinue to meet their assessments and the
District has adequate reserves to cover a temporary shortfall in anticipated income.

FINANCIAL REVIEW- CONTINUED
The District holds four freehold properties b￿ng the Chaiws Manse in York, Hull
International House, a property purchased several years ago with proceads from the
disposal of York Intemats'onal House and a manse, previously owned by the ￿'re and
Calder Melhodist Circuit, which is occupied by Rèvd Ruth Gilson-webb who has
responsibilty for church development in the Distr￿.
(b)
During the yèar, the trustees came to the hard decision that it was not economically
feasible lo continue to OP8rat8 Hull Intemational House and Ih8refore agr88d to wind
down its operation and dispose of the premises. The House is now closed and the
trustaes hope that a sale will complete in the near future.
The District has the following principal sources of funds..
Assessments on Circuits within the Distnct
L8vi8s on the Circuit Model Trust Funds of Circuits withln the District
Connexional Priority Fund distnbution
Interest on investments
These sums are used to administer the District and to provide grants to Circuits.
Churches and individuals in the District so that they may embark on or continue with
projects that fulfil th8 mission of the District. In addition. further grants have been
obtsined in the year to enable financial assi5tanc8 to be provided to a number of
churches in the Districl to assist with the installation of solar, battery end EV solutions.

Connexion for the provision of grants for the development of mission and ministry

Ro$•rves
It is the poll¢y of the charity to hold reserves to provide working capital for its continued
operation. At the yearryend total reseNes were £2,991.880 (2024.. £2,186.892), of which
£931,872 {2024.. £929.105) were unrestricted funds and £2.060,008 (2024.. £1.257,787) w8r8
restricted funds. The level of free unrestricted reserves (i.e. total unrestricted funds excluding
the value of tangib18 fixed assets) is d8temiined at around 6 months of expenditure needs for
continued operation. It is considered inappropriate that Ihe District maintains reserves in 8xcess
of this when the funds can be used for the work of the organisation. At 31 August 2025 the18vel
of free unf8Stricted reserves amounted to £110,382 which was short of target, representing
around 3 months of expenditure.

OBJECTIVES AND AIMS
Nature and Purposes
The primary purpose for which the Yorkshire North and Easl District is constituted is to advance
the mission of the Church in th8 r8gion, by providing opportunities for Circuits to work together
and support each other, by offering them resources of finance. personnel and expertise whl¢h
may not be available locally, and by enabling them lo engage with Ihe wider society of thè
region as a whol8. The District serves the Local Churches and Circuits and th8 Conference in
the support, d8ployment and oversight of th8 various ministries of th8 ChLsrch, and in
programmes of training.
The Distdct has responsibilty for the evaluation of applications by Local Churches and Circuits
for approval of, or consenl lo, their proposals. when required, or for assistanc8 from district or
connexional bodies or funds. Wherevèr possible the work of the District is carried out
ecumenically. The District is thus an expression, over a wider geographical area than th8
Circuit, of the conn8xional nature of the Church.
ObJe¢tlvè$
During the year the District continued to develop work around its priorities.
The work of Saf8guarding remains a priority With ongoing trainlng of all who are involved in
work with young people and vulnerable adults. Th8 District is committed to recognising the
place of Safeguarding at the hèart of mission at every level. The Connexion has agreed a new
way of arranging its safeguarding provision, wrth the work of District Safeguarding Officers
being transf8rr8d to new connexionally employed Regional Officers for Safeguarding as from
1 September 2025.
The implèmentation of the Propety Consents pro¢Èss is working well.
The awarding of Grants through the District Advance Fund continues to work well.
Yèarly Objectlves
To sUp￿rt the activities of all the Circuits in the Disln'ct. with the aim of encouraging
the growth of flourishing missional communiti8S.
To fo¢us on both supportsng existing thurches to dev81op and grow and to anable
°new places for new people" to be explored and initiated.
To utilise the funds made available to the District from the Connexion in order to
further the mission of the circuits and local churches.
To continue to develop appropriate models of leadership. govemance and
management within the District.

District.
Long Tenn Objoctlves

Stratogle8 for a¢hlevlng the obJoctlve$
The Distrid Leadership Team meets regularly through the year and oversees all aspèds of the
District's life, creating opportunities for new ideas to be discuss8d and debated. Interaction,
particularly be￿een the Chair with Connexional bodies 8nsures that there is Considerable
contact with national policies and decision making and that those bodies also hear of local
views and concerns. Communication from Syn¢)d and Conf8r8nce is widely Gir¢ulaled, and Ihe
Leadership Team is seeking to further improve the effectiveness of communication within Ihe
Dlstrict.
We belleve w8 have strong financi81 controls in tM)sition.
Grant maklng pollcy
Th8 DLT oversees the awarding of grants for the devekJpm8nt of Mission and Mlnistry Projects
and for Property Schemes generated by the local churches, circuits and other organisations. A
sub-committee is empowered to award seed funding grants up to a maximum of £1,000 each
lo encourage churches and circuits to try'new things to reach new people" It is th8 policy and
approach of the District to r8V18w grant requests on a case by case basis taking into
consideration the funds available for disbursement. the particular mission and funding needs
of each applicant and the overall spread of mission needs across the Oistrid.
Exlont of the uso of volunteers in achieving alms
Volunteers are involved in all aspecls of the work of the District from personnel and
administration to representational roles as well as providing the income with which Ihe Charity
operates. The level of dependence on voluntary workers wthin the Dislri¢t is extremely high.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Circuits are looking at plans to enable the best use of resources to further their mission.
The year's available funds to various projects have been allocated by the District
Lèadership Team.
Safeguarding initiatives and training are well advanced in planning and implementation.
The District continues to move forward with its commitment to becoming a Net Zero Carbon
District by at le8St 2040 and much work has been done and a lot achieved, although rt is
recognised that there remains a lot more to do.
Given the ongoing challenges as churches feel the long-t8nn impact of th8 pandemic, the
Trustees are content with this year's achievements in relation to their objectives. Almosl all
applications for grants have received funding and safeguarding is now running to plan In the
District. Th8r8 continues to be some closures of churches around the District, but overall there
is viability and strength in many parts of th8 District.
Ecumenical working is still below our hopes and ambitions, but the Trustees remaln hopeful of
making further progress in this area.
The 'Kairos Circuit. corrtinues seeking to offer people an opportunity to discover and grow in
faith in new ways.
Much work has been done in envisaging how govemance and trusteeship responsibilities can
be managed in new ways so as to lrft burdens from church members. The 'Bridge Circurt" is
meeting this challenge and repr8S8nls the m8rging of five Cir¢uits operating with a Modified
Constitution. Several other Circuits, whilst retaining their own ind8pendence, are utilisin9 the
expertise offered by the Bridge Circuit.
CHALLENGES FOR THE FUTURE
As noted above impact of the Covid pandemic continues to be swjntficant as we look to Ihe future.
Reserves continue to be widely used in supporting churches. On the other hand, ther8 have be8n
great slrld6s made in developing online ministy and mission. The Dlstrict continues to encourage
furth8r work in this area. not least through the em￿OyMent of a Digital Communications Pion88r.
Overall, despite some churches experiencing growth. th8re is a ￿ntinuIng dedine in numb8rs
attending and belonging to the church. and that concern is deepened wilh the recognition of an
ageing demographic. The District continues to offer as much help as possible to support circuits
and is keen to explore the imaginatNe work und8rnay through the New Plac8s for N8w People
connexional initiative. It is also committed to ensure that gov8mance struclures are able to
encourage and support new work. rather than hinder it.
The District is sustaining its priorty of responding to the Climate Emergency. Considerable
work continues to b8 undertaken in helping Ghurches respond to the District's Gornmitmenl to
become a Net Zero Carbon District by at least 2040.
All Ihat said. it is with Confiden￿ that we approach these challenges and a trust that with prayer
we will fulfil the purposes which God has in mind for us. We believe that the District IS as well-
equipped as possible to both encompass change and resp)nd to new ideas.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about vthether the financial statements as a

laws and regulations as part of ouraudit procedures on th8 r8lat8d financial statement

fraud. we designed procedures which included but were not limited to.. reconciliation of income by
prc4)f in total, sample testing on the t*)sting of joumals. investigating the rationa16 behind significant
or unusual transactions, reviewing regulatory ccrfrespondence and reading minutes of meetings of
those charged with govèrnance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk Ihat we may not have
detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we heve properly
planned and performed our audit in accordance y￿th auditing standards. For example, the further
removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from lh8 events and
transadions reflected in the financial statemenis, the less likely the inherently limited procedures
requir8d by auditing standards would identsfy it. In addition. as with any audlt, ther8 remained a
higher risk of non4ètection of irregularities, as thes8 may involve collusion. forg8ry, intentional
omissions, misrepr6s8ntations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for
preventing non-compliance and cannot be 8XP8Ct8d to deteGI non•¢omplianc8 wilh all laws and
regulations.
A further description of our responsibilitiès for th8 audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's w8bsit8 at.. www.frc.o
.uklauditorsres
onsibililies. This description
foms part of our auditor's report.
Uso of our roport
This r8POrt 18 made solely to the charity's trustees. as a body. in accordanc8 With Part 4 of the
Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulattons 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that
we might state to the Charity's tru$t8es those matters we are required to stat& to them in an auditor's
report and for no other purpose. To the fullest exlenl pemitt8d by law. we do not a¢c8pi or assume
responsibility to anyon8 Other than the charity and the Charity's trustees as a body, for our audtt
