Trustees Annual Report and Accounts for year ending 31[st] August 2020
Purpose
We are a body of people, drawn together by the love of God to worship, pray and try to follow the teaching of Jesus. To fulfil our purpose, we will:
Glorify God in worship Develop our understanding of the love of God and the way of Jesus Deepen our commitment to the Christian life Enable and encourage our community to develop and use all their God-given talents Offer Christian love and friendship to all
Respond to the needs of God’s world, especially the people of Beckenham
The Methodist Church exists to exercise the whole ministry of Christ. The Local Church in Beckenham, with its membership and larger church community, exercises this ministry where it is and shares in the wider ministry of the Church in the world. In this one ministry worship, fellowship, pastoral care, mission and service are essential elements, enabled by training and prudent administration.
Organisation and governance
Beckenham Methodist Church (BMC) is part of the Bromley Circuit (No 35/42) of the Methodist Church, and arose from a merger of the Bromley Road and Clock House Road churches on 1 September 2004.
Ministers are appointed to the Circuit and given Pastoral Charge of the Local Church by the Circuit, usually staying for a term of 5 years. The current Minister is Rev. Alex Terrett, who has pastoral charge of the Beckenham and West Wickham churches and started her appointment in Autumn 2018.
The various tasks in carrying out our ministry are undertaken by the local Church, through its Church Council and committees, in union with the ministry of the Circuit of which it is constituent. In accordance with its governing document, the Constitution Practice and Discipline (CPD) of the Methodist Church, the Trustees are all the members of the Church Council who are over the age of 18 years, some by virtue of posts they hold and some as elected representatives of the whole congregation.
Worship and Prayer
BMC normally gives worshippers the choice of two 10.30 a.m. services on a Sunday, one at Clock House Road and the other at Bromley Road. The preachers at each service are appointed by the Circuit. Occasionally on special occasions, combined services are held at one or other venue. Holy Communion is normally celebrated at Bromley Road on the third Sunday of the month and at Clock House Road on the second, both sites offer a more informal service each month directed at families. A weekly class meeting or Bible Study is held on a Wednesday evening at Clock House Road and other fellowship meetings are also arranged.
The regular congregations at both sites are a mixture of age groups, nationalities and backgrounds and everyone who comes through the doors is afforded a friendly welcome. Service books, hymn books and pew Bibles are provided, as well as printed sheets when appropriate. Audiovisual projection is now normally used at both sites and all appropriate copyright licences are held.

Membership stands at 98 with a further 20 adherents. Average attendance at Bromley Road is 50 and at Clock House Road 15 with many housebound or infirm and others not attending regularly because of work or family commitments. A tape recording of each service at Bromley Road is made available for the housebound.
Due to Covid there were a number of changes in the 2019-20 year. Services at both sites were suspended after the services on Sunday 15 March 2020 and did not restart until September 2020 and then at Bromley Road only. Average attendance, under strict social distance guidelines was then about 35 each week. In the interval an electronic service was sent to all members each week with paper copies going to those without the internet.
Circuit Meeting
Several Members of the Church Council also hold posts at Circuit level and the Church Council elects four representatives from amongst its number. The Circuit Meeting is a separate charity and its members are its trustees. The Local Church pays an assessment to the Circuit each year to cover the stipends and housing of ministerial staff and contributions to the Methodist Church nationally. BMC’s assessment for this year was £51,356, which was marginally lower than last year.
The Church Premises
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance of the premises at Bromley Road (BR3 5JE) and Clock House Road (BR3 4JP) Beckenham. The Church premises at both sites are extensively used by the local community as well as by Church members. At Clock House Road there is a long-established pre-school playgroup. Various evening activities include yoga and dance classes and other community meetings.
The premises at Bromley Road are more extensive and are used by some 35-40 community groups on a regular basis as well as for annual meetings of local residents groups and management committees. Activities for young children and the elderly are all available as well as the Church’s own sponsored Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Badminton Club and Social gatherings. According to Methodist Practice (CPD) no alcohol is allowed to be brought onto or consumed on the premises. A weekly AA meeting has been held on the premises for many years.
At Bromley Road we have been running a Community Café called TCs since July 2000 when a similar project run by Churches Together in Beckenham (CTiB) was forced to close. This has been very successfully staffed by volunteers from among the church membership as well as non members. At Bromley Road an extensive building project has been underway since November 2018 and during that period TCs was able to continue in one of the upstairs halls, operating from Monday to Thursday for 4 hours each day. In previous years a surplus was made and allocated to various mission projects at home and abroad. The surplus for 2019/20 is being held in reserve to assist with relocating and relaunching of the café within the newly built extension. The TCs management committee reports to the Church Council.
In line with Government covid restrictions all room bookings except certain exempt user groups (eg Pre School Playgroup at the Clock House Road premises and self-help and educational groups at Bromley Road) had to cease bookings in March 2020.
The Property and Finance Committee reports to the Church Council and is responsible for day-to-day management of the bookings through the offices of the two appointed Property Stewards. Cleaning of both churches is carried out by professionals.
Maintenance of the premises is an ongoing expense: In line with last year the overall level of activity was lower than average, which is to be expected when undertaking a major redevelopment. Ongoing servicing of boilers, fire protection equipment and other key facilities was carried out. The main items of renewal were a roof repair at Bromley Road and improvements to the lighting at Clock House Road.
2
Pastoral Care
The members of the Methodist Church are each allocated to a Pastoral Visitor who works closely with the minister to ensure all pastoral needs are met. The Pastoral Visitors and Church Stewards are members of the Pastoral Committee which reports to the Church Council. Those who are unable to attend services are visited and where requested the minister or some of the pastoral visitors are able to celebrate Holy Communion with them in their own home.
Mission
The Methodist Church supports Mission in Britain as well as Mission in the Wider World. These funds are well supported by the members of BMC as well as other charities. The work of TCs has been mentioned. Others regularly supported are Christian Aid with participation in the street collections and Action for Children, the Methodist Children’s charity, one of whose founders was also a member of Beckenham Methodist Church at its original foundation in 1887. Various other charities are supported annually, both locally and worldwide, e.g. Workaid and a food bank and support for homeless men provided at another local church.
Ecumenical relationships
BMC is an active member of CTiB and participates in all its activities. On Ascension Day each year a service is shared with St. Paul’s C of E Church in Brackley Road, alternating the venue and preachers. Close relationships are held with our nearest neighbours at St. George’s Parish Church and the United Reformed Church, Crescent Road.
Financial review, including reserves policy, designation of material funds and likely timing of expenditure
The financial position is currently stretched reflecting the challenge of funding the redevelopment of Bromley Road where the building works are taking longer than expected and outturn costs are now higher than anticipated. Completion was forecast for November 2019 and was achieved in Summer 2020 but agreement of the final account is still outstanding. It is hoped to bring this matter to a conclusion in Spring 2021.
The year was very much a year of 2 halves to use a football analogy. Pre covid the church benefitted from strong personal giving, many bookings for lettings of church premises, which have held up surprisingly well in view of the building works at Bromley Road, to local community groups, a reduced Circuit assessment, and lower than usual expenses on repairs and maintenance in view of the redevelopment project now underway. Post lockdown income fell away sharply. Bookings were halted except for a small number of exempt users – such as the playgroup at Clock House Road. Personal giving declined as many members tend to give in person on a Sunday and switch to electronic giving has been slow.
The Redevelopment project at Bromley Road, outlined in prior years’ reports, is now nearing completion. The works have significantly enhanced the church and plans are in place for a grand opening when we finally emerge from covid. The provision of a kitchen and toilets in the New Room area were removed from the builder’s scope when tender returns were higher than expected. It is the plan now to complete these works as soon as possible which will allow the reopening of TCs using the new area.
To fund the redevelopment loans have been sought. A loan of £58,000 was obtained from the Methodist Chapel Aid scheme and repayment commenced in June 2020. Additional loans from members have been gratefully received. A 5 year repayment plan to bring the church out of debit has been drawn up. It is hoped that with strong lettings, continued generous support from the congregation and further grant applications this can be shortened.
3
During the year our reserves declined by around 25% or just over £100,000 leaving the church balances at £318,000. This was predominately due to redevelopment costs.
Funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others:
Such funds are not material. They may include, during the financial year:
collections made for nominated charitable organisations, detailed in the Notes to the Receipts & Payments Account, but not yet distributed to them. Examples are Action for Children, Mind and on behalf of the Traidcraft Café. Movements of such funds, which are held temporarily on the main bank current account, are separately recorded in the Vestry Journal, receipts and payments ledgers, and documented in other papers on file; and balances of the Benevolence Fund, to be applied at the minister’s discretion.
It is policy to disburse such collections in the same financial year in which they were received into the church accounts, except for the Benevolence Fund which may accumulate across year-ends.
Thanks
The Trustees would like to thank all those who work in a volunteer capacity to enable the smooth running of the Church in all its facets. As can be seen, BMC is an organisation devoted to providing public benefit with the assistance of its members. The Trustees, in exercising their powers and duties, complied with their obligation to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.
This Report was approved at BMC’s Church Council meeting on 4[th] March 2021, on which date the Trustees were the following:
Rev. Alex Terrett Deacon Laura MacBean Jenny Nichols Christine Handel Comfort Lawson David Dingley Graham McLeod Sheila Priestman Barbara Kyei Cynthia Campbell Mark Cheesman Judith Reep Simon Young Gordon Hughes Carol Jefferies Irene Antwi Vicky Bessant Andrew Cloke Tina Eshun Joe Krywko David Jackson Lum Ntumazah Mary Jackson Papa Boateng Theo Farmer Ruben Martin Paulette Tomlinson
