The Circuit Model Trust Fund had a balance at the year-end of £3,240. This fund derives from sales of chapels and manses and is restricted by the Conference. This restriction is an internal regulation though the fund can be used for a variety of purposes. This year the fund has been used towards partial funding for the circuit’s Youth Worker and for Community Lay Workers. The Circuit Leadership team will be looking to draw up a set of ground rules, for acceptance by the Circuit Meeting, to ensure grants made from the Circuit Model Trust Fund are used effectively for mission and capital works.
The Circuit Leadership Team is made up of volunteers and ordained ministers who together consider the direction for spiritual growth and social enterprise within the geographical area of the circuit.
