Revlew ot Pro8ress and Achlevements 2021122
In the Methodist Church the Clrcult Is the primary unit In which Local Churches express and
experlence their interconnexion in the Body of Chrlst, for purposes of mlsslon, mutual
encouragement and help" (from The Constltutional Practice ond Discipline of The Methodlst
Church} To this end the leadershlp team continues to encourage interaction of churches in the
Wey Valley Circuit.
The Strategic Staffing Plan remalns flexible. With our Superintendent taking early retlrement In
summer 2022, we entered stationing a8aln and were very fortunate in securing his replacement,
Rev Dr Paul Glass, from September 2022. Rev Dave Faulkner Is movSng from the Clrcuit in
summer 2023 and wlll not be replaced as a Clrcult mlnlster. Plans are currently beln8 made to
cover hls work and responsSblllties.
As churches across the Circuit have emerged from the Covld-19 pandemic a number of issues
have been faced Including contlnued onllne di8ltal means of accessing worship, the removal of
restrictlons in churches and the slow recovery of booking5 and lets back to pre-pandemic levels
whlch continues to be an issue for some churches in the Clrcult. The Clrcuit continues wlth a
weekly pastoral letter and home sheets for worshlp.
The Clrcult Is aware that although the financial situatlon of the CircuSt has Improved there are still
slgnlficant financlal Issues that need to be addressed partly as a result of the uncertainty caused
by the COVID vlrus. The Clrcult Is preparlng to reassess its freeze on 8rants except for emergencv
purposes durlng thls financlal year. At its meeting in September 2021 the Circuit agreed to
contrlbijte a grant of £40,000 to contlnue the Methodlst Ministers Pension Fund.
Pressure on the Clrcult preachlng plan has led to the continulng need for local arran8ements for
the conduct of worshlp servlces and new methods of dellvering sermons for worshlp are being
experimented wlth.
The Flnance, Mlssion, Property, Worshlp and Safeguardin8 resource groups contlnued to operate
successfully, with an Increasing number of face-to-face meetlngs. The Youth and Chlldren's Work
and Communicatlons Broups dld not meet but recelve regular elertronic updates.

Started In September 2018, The Bl8 Read contlnued to encourage and support participatlon In
long-term att of worshlp by readln8 the Bible from coverto cover one chapter a day. It was f5nallv
completed on 2 December 2021 and we belleve it gave comfort as together we read regularly
throughoutthe early days of the pandemlc and the varlous lockdowns-sltuatlons we never
dreamt of when we be8an back in 2018.
Tralnln8 has been offered to all churches, mlnlsters and lay workers, Including face-to-face and
online training. These have Included the areas of safe8uardin8, food hygiene, and EDI.
The mlnlsters are supported by their own monthly meetlng5, supervlslon on a regular as required
basls, and by the regular meetln8s of the Clrcuit Leadershlp team. Agaln, the pandemlc meant
that adaptations to the usual arrangements were needed wlth the use of Zoom, FaceTlme, etc
being employed.
There Is a Cantonese-speakln8 Methodlst congre8atlon at Wokln& Trlnity whlch has benefited
from recent wave5 of immigration and has doubled In slze over an el8hteen-month period. There
is another Chinese congregatlon meeting at Merrow Methodlst Church, There are a range of
successful range of outreach actlvlties across the Circuit, Includin8 a well-used baby bank at
Cranlel8h, Clothes4U at Knaphlll and since February 2022 a weekly Vlgll for peace In Ukralne at St
Marfs, Guildford. There are many other impressive examples of the churches of the Circult
servln8 the communitles In whlch they are set.
The Clrcuit's quarterly ma8azine, The Wey Forward, contlnued to be a key tool of communicatlon
within the Circuit. Hard copies were agaln distrlbuted post pandemlc, with downloadable pdfs
available vla the Clrcult's webslte. The website www.weyvalleyclrcuit.org.uk provided
informatlon on the Ilfe of the Clrcuit and its churches to both those Involved and the general
publlc. The quarterly preachlng plan contlnued to be avallable here too.
To provlde full admlnlstratlve support for the Clrcult, the Circult Administratlon Offl¢er and PA to
the Superlntendent, continued workin8 flve mornln8s a week, wSth three of these mornings
working from home.
The Clrcuit also employs a part time {5.25 hours per weekl Safeguardln8 Admlnlstrator, based at
Walton, who meets perlodically with the Clrcuit Safe8uarding Officer, and the Asslstant Circult
Safeguardin8 Offlcer. Th15 Clrcult Safeguarding Team meets wlth the Superlntendent Mlnlster and
the Distrlct Safe8uarding Officer as requlred. The local Church Safeguardlng Officers meet every
slx months with the Clrcuit Safeguarding Team. The Safeguardln8 Team are asslsted bythe
Superintendent Mlnister and Dlstrlct staff in keeplng DBS checks current.

Fundraislng
The Clrcuit is a flnanclally stable and viable charity. As such, we do not rely on publlc fundraising
to balance our budget. We do appeal occasionally, vla In the Individual churches in our circuit, for
additlonal funds to provide mi55ion outreaches and to respond to local and worldwlde dlsasters.
We are mindful of the provlslons of the Charltles (Protectlon and Social Investment) Act 2016 and
we are guided by the Charity Commlsslon publlcatlon 'Charlty fundraisin8.' a guide to trustee dutles
ICC20) and the Code of Fundralslng practice.
Approach tofundraising
We always ensure that our fundralsing Is always legal, open; honest, respectful and accountable.
We treat our potential donors honestly and decently, glvingthem the information, they need to
make an informed cholce about thelr givin8. Where fundraising takes place, we are aware of how
fundralsing Is belng delivered; we know who is making the ask,. we know what rlsks there are
from any fundralslng activlty; monltor if any complalnts that are made about the fundraising
practice,. and we use our complaints pollcy to deal with any Issues.
Working with, and oversight of, any commercial participators/professional
fundraisers
We do not work with commercial partners forthe benefit of the circuit. We do however, support
local and national charities.
Fundraising conforming to recognised standards
As a Clrcuit, we ensure that Charlty legislation is regularly revlewed and updated. We stay up to
date with the latest developments in the13w and Code of Fundraising Practice through resources
provlded by the Methodlst Church of Great Britain and through our audltors.
Monitoring offundralslng carried out on behalf of the Circuit
All fundralslng activity of significance must be approved by the Clrcuit meeting (attended by all
trustees) and all other by the Circuit Leadership meetlng.
Fundraising complaints
Complaints wlll be dealt with through the Circuit Complaints Pollcy. None have been received.

We provlde protectlon to the public, including vulnerable people, from unreasonable
Intrusive or persistent fundraislng approaches, and undue pressure to donate.
We as a charlty wlll adhere to ethlcal fundralsin8 processes in line wlth the Charlty
Commission's Charityfundraislng: a guide to trustee dutles {CC20).

Financlal Reports and Schedules
Wey Valley Clrcult Reserves Pollcy
The Wey Valley Clrcuit is part of the Methodlst Church Re8iStered Charlty no 1132208. The
Methodist Church Is divided Into 30 Dlstrirts and each District Is divided Into Circubts. The Wey
Valley Circult is part of the Southeast Dlstrltt and has responslbllSty for 13 Methodlst churches.
The Clrcuit has five prlmary goals:
l. To ensure that all churches under Its control have the correct governance structures In
place as prescrlbed by the Methodlst Church in Great Brltaln standln8 orders and the
Charities Commlsslon.
2. To appolnt and allocate mlnlster(s) to the Circuit, within its flnanclal capabllitles, and then
allocate pastoral care of the 13 local churches to each of Its appointed mlnlsters. Where
there are Insufficlent mln5sters to provlde the requlred 5ervlces that suitably quallfied lay
volunteers are In place.
3. To provlde servlced houslng for all appointed mlnisters in accordance with standlng
orders guldance.
4. To provlde leadershlp and dlrection for churches to facllltate brln8lng members of the
churches wlthln the Circuit into a deeper fellowship with Christ.
5. To mana8e funds built up over time due to sale of Churches, manses, donatlons and the
like. These funds where they exceed the reserve Ilmits wlll be made avaSlable for
allo¢ation to churches, on receipt of an approved appllcatlon, to fund repairs and projects
at a church level.
The Circuit receives Its income from the churches who contribute a flxed quarterly amount, thelr
assessment, which is determlned annually based on fattors including the size of the church and
its abllFty to pay, The Clrcuit draws up a budget annually which estimates the level of expendlture
expected in the following year. The Clr¢uit has three maln areas of expense:
l. Payment of Mlnlsterlal stlpends.
2. Payment of servlces, rates and repairs on the houses allocated to mlnisters.
3. Payment of lay staff members and office costs relatingto the Circult Office.
To achleve Its objettives the Circuit needs to ensure that It has sufficSent funds to Cover the
minlsterial stipends, minlsterial housing costs and Clrcult offlce costs so it can continue to provide
the local churches with the ministerlal staff to ensure that local churches can continue to Serve
thelr local community. As the Circults Income Is paid quarterly by each church the requirement
for each church to hold sufficlent reserves to cover their runnin8 Costs and Clrcuit assessment Is a
key part of the reservlng pollcy. Mindful of our Bibllcal responsiblllty not to hoard It Is Important
that this be balanced wlth a sense that we need to be forward looklng and plan for known events
and responslbility for others Ilncluding employees} is important. So the Circult has set in place a
policy for churches to hold 6 months, runnln8 and assessment costs In reserves. During the year
under revlew all churches were able to adhere to thls pollcyi however, some have been forced to
reduce reserves due to falllng income levels whlch are seen as short-term due to Covid.

At a Clrcuit level we have a reserves policy which requlres us to hold 6 months, reserves of the
prevlous years runnlng costs adjusted for any new known expendlture or adjusted for any one-off
expenditure items In the prevlous year. The Clrcult is currently complylng with thls policy.
Where churches are stru881ing to meet Its assessment, the circuit will reserve a further 6 months
of that church's assessment.

The Circuit has reserves In excess to meet the Reserve Requirements of 6 months. The Clrcult has
not been made aware of any churches that wlll default on thelr current assessments.
Flnancial Strategy
The financlal strate8y of the Clrcult is driven by the overall mission alms.
Speclflcally, we alm to:
Support the ongoing actlvltles of Clrcult churches by provlding flnanclal asslstance where
needed to address urgent issues that are restrlttlng or threatenln8 the continuan¢e of
actlvities.
Provide adequate reserves to cover the obligatlons of the Circult whi15t providing stabllity
In the Indlvidual church contributions to the overall cost. In line with guldance, as
described above, we are alming to hold 3 8eneral reserve representlng 6 months,
expenditure.
A5 the sl8nificant sums currently held by the Clrcult are designated for specific project5 or to
cover for planned changes, the Investrnent pollcy is for low rlsk and funds are held In cash.

Revlew ot Pro8ress and Achlevements 2021122
In the Methodist Church the Clrcult Is the primary unit In which Local Churches express and
experlence their interconnexion in the Body of Chrlst, for purposes of mlsslon, mutual
encouragement and help" (from The Constltutional Practice ond Discipline of The Methodlst
Church} To this end the leadershlp team continues to encourage interaction of churches in the
Wey Valley Circuit.
The Strategic Staffing Plan remalns flexible. With our Superintendent taking early retlrement In
summer 2022, we entered stationing a8aln and were very fortunate in securing his replacement,
Rev Dr Paul Glass, from September 2022. Rev Dave Faulkner Is movSng from the Clrcuit in
summer 2023 and wlll not be replaced as a Clrcult mlnlster. Plans are currently beln8 made to
cover hls work and responsSblllties.
As churches across the Circuit have emerged from the Covld-19 pandemic a number of issues
have been faced Including contlnued onllne di8ltal means of accessing worship, the removal of
restrictlons in churches and the slow recovery of booking5 and lets back to pre-pandemic levels
whlch continues to be an issue for some churches in the Clrcult. The Clrcuit continues wlth a
weekly pastoral letter and home sheets for worshlp.
The Clrcult Is aware that although the financial situatlon of the CircuSt has Improved there are still
slgnlficant financlal Issues that need to be addressed partly as a result of the uncertainty caused
by the COVID vlrus. The Clrcult Is preparlng to reassess its freeze on 8rants except for emergencv
purposes durlng thls financlal year. At its meeting in September 2021 the Circuit agreed to
contrlbijte a grant of £40,000 to contlnue the Methodlst Ministers Pension Fund.
Pressure on the Clrcult preachlng plan has led to the continulng need for local arran8ements for
the conduct of worshlp servlces and new methods of dellvering sermons for worshlp are being
experimented wlth.
The Flnance, Mlssion, Property, Worshlp and Safeguardin8 resource groups contlnued to operate
successfully, with an Increasing number of face-to-face meetlngs. The Youth and Chlldren's Work
and Communicatlons Broups dld not meet but recelve regular elertronic updates.

Started In September 2018, The Bl8 Read contlnued to encourage and support participatlon In
long-term att of worshlp by readln8 the Bible from coverto cover one chapter a day. It was f5nallv
completed on 2 December 2021 and we belleve it gave comfort as together we read regularly
throughoutthe early days of the pandemlc and the varlous lockdowns-sltuatlons we never
dreamt of when we be8an back in 2018.
Tralnln8 has been offered to all churches, mlnlsters and lay workers, Including face-to-face and
online training. These have Included the areas of safe8uardin8, food hygiene, and EDI.
The mlnlsters are supported by their own monthly meetlng5, supervlslon on a regular as required
basls, and by the regular meetln8s of the Clrcuit Leadershlp team. Agaln, the pandemlc meant
that adaptations to the usual arrangements were needed wlth the use of Zoom, FaceTlme, etc
being employed.
There Is a Cantonese-speakln8 Methodlst congre8atlon at Wokln& Trlnity whlch has benefited
from recent wave5 of immigration and has doubled In slze over an el8hteen-month period. There
is another Chinese congregatlon meeting at Merrow Methodlst Church, There are a range of
successful range of outreach actlvlties across the Circuit, Includin8 a well-used baby bank at
Cranlel8h, Clothes4U at Knaphlll and since February 2022 a weekly Vlgll for peace In Ukralne at St
Marfs, Guildford. There are many other impressive examples of the churches of the Circult
servln8 the communitles In whlch they are set.
The Clrcuit's quarterly ma8azine, The Wey Forward, contlnued to be a key tool of communicatlon
within the Circuit. Hard copies were agaln distrlbuted post pandemlc, with downloadable pdfs
available vla the Clrcult's webslte. The website www.weyvalleyclrcuit.org.uk provided
informatlon on the Ilfe of the Clrcuit and its churches to both those Involved and the general
publlc. The quarterly preachlng plan contlnued to be avallable here too.
To provlde full admlnlstratlve support for the Clrcult, the Circult Administratlon Offl¢er and PA to
the Superlntendent, continued workin8 flve mornln8s a week, wSth three of these mornings
working from home.
The Clrcuit also employs a part time {5.25 hours per weekl Safeguardln8 Admlnlstrator, based at
Walton, who meets perlodically with the Clrcuit Safe8uarding Officer, and the Asslstant Circult
Safeguardin8 Offlcer. Th15 Clrcult Safeguarding Team meets wlth the Superlntendent Mlnlster and
the Distrlct Safe8uarding Officer as requlred. The local Church Safeguardlng Officers meet every
slx months with the Clrcuit Safeguarding Team. The Safeguardln8 Team are asslsted bythe
Superintendent Mlnister and Dlstrlct staff in keeplng DBS checks current.

Fundraislng
The Clrcuit is a flnanclally stable and viable charity. As such, we do not rely on publlc fundraising
to balance our budget. We do appeal occasionally, vla In the Individual churches in our circuit, for
additlonal funds to provide mi55ion outreaches and to respond to local and worldwlde dlsasters.
We are mindful of the provlslons of the Charltles (Protectlon and Social Investment) Act 2016 and
we are guided by the Charity Commlsslon publlcatlon 'Charlty fundraisin8.' a guide to trustee dutles
ICC20) and the Code of Fundralslng practice.
Approach tofundraising
We always ensure that our fundralsing Is always legal, open; honest, respectful and accountable.
We treat our potential donors honestly and decently, glvingthem the information, they need to
make an informed cholce about thelr givin8. Where fundraising takes place, we are aware of how
fundralsing Is belng delivered; we know who is making the ask,. we know what rlsks there are
from any fundralslng activlty; monltor if any complalnts that are made about the fundraising
practice,. and we use our complaints pollcy to deal with any Issues.
Working with, and oversight of, any commercial participators/professional
fundraisers
We do not work with commercial partners forthe benefit of the circuit. We do however, support
local and national charities.
Fundraising conforming to recognised standards
As a Clrcuit, we ensure that Charlty legislation is regularly revlewed and updated. We stay up to
date with the latest developments in the13w and Code of Fundraising Practice through resources
provlded by the Methodlst Church of Great Britain and through our audltors.
Monitoring offundralslng carried out on behalf of the Circuit
All fundralslng activity of significance must be approved by the Clrcuit meeting (attended by all
trustees) and all other by the Circuit Leadership meetlng.
Fundraising complaints
Complaints wlll be dealt with through the Circuit Complaints Pollcy. None have been received.
Our commitment
As a Circult we are committed to ensure that:
We provlde protectlon to the public, including vulnerable people, from unreasonable
Intrusive or persistent fundraislng approaches, and undue pressure to donate.
We as a charlty wlll adhere to ethlcal fundralsin8 processes in line wlth the Charlty

2. Payment of servlces, rates and repairs on the houses allocated to mlnisters.
3. Payment of lay staff members and office costs relatingto the Circult Office.
To achleve Its objettives the Circuit needs to ensure that It has sufficSent funds to Cover the
minlsterial stipends, minlsterial housing costs and Clrcult offlce costs so it can continue to provide
the local churches with the ministerlal staff to ensure that local churches can continue to Serve
thelr local community. As the Circults Income Is paid quarterly by each church the requirement
for each church to hold sufficlent reserves to cover their runnin8 Costs and Clrcuit assessment Is a
key part of the reservlng pollcy. Mindful of our Bibllcal responsiblllty not to hoard It Is Important
that this be balanced wlth a sense that we need to be forward looklng and plan for known events
and responslbility for others Ilncluding employees} is important. So the Circult has set in place a
policy for churches to hold 6 months, runnln8 and assessment costs In reserves. During the year
under revlew all churches were able to adhere to thls pollcyi however, some have been forced to
reduce reserves due to falllng income levels whlch are seen as short-term due to Covid.

At a Clrcuit level we have a reserves policy which requlres us to hold 6 months, reserves of the
prevlous years runnlng costs adjusted for any new known expendlture or adjusted for any one-off
expenditure items In the prevlous year. The Clrcult is currently complylng with thls policy.
Where churches are stru881ing to meet Its assessment, the circuit will reserve a further 6 months
of that church's assessment.

The Circuit has reserves In excess to meet the Reserve Requirements of 6 months. The Clrcult has
not been made aware of any churches that wlll default on thelr current assessments.
Flnancial Strategy
The financlal strate8y of the Clrcult is driven by the overall mission alms.
Speclflcally, we alm to:
Support the ongoing actlvltles of Clrcult churches by provlding flnanclal asslstance where
needed to address urgent issues that are restrlttlng or threatenln8 the continuan¢e of
actlvities.
Provide adequate reserves to cover the obligatlons of the Circult whi15t providing stabllity
In the Indlvidual church contributions to the overall cost. In line with guldance, as
described above, we are alming to hold 3 8eneral reserve representlng 6 months,
expenditure.
A5 the sl8nificant sums currently held by the Clrcult are designated for specific project5 or to
cover for planned changes, the Investrnent pollcy is for low rlsk and funds are held In cash.
