After 1 Sept 2024, the restricted funds will be disbursed to the successor organisations according to the wishes of the donors and the trustees decision. The trustees have agreed a scheme for dispersal of the remaining unrestricted assets of the partnership. This will be divided amongst the partners churches succeeding the partnership responsibilities, in proportion to their contributions to the partnership in the year preceding dissolution.
In the case of Westlea Church the decision of the members meeting before dissolution was that the share should be divided equally between Westlea’s last payment to their long-term fixed charities and Holy Trinity Shaw, who will assume pastoral responsibility for the population previously served by Westlea Church.
This is the final report of the partnership as of the date of dissolution 31 Aug 2024.
Signed, on behalf of the board of trustees, by Chris Scarisbrick, Secretary

West Swindon and Lydiard Tregoze Church Partnership Annual Report 2024 Finances
## **Financial Review**
The Partnership’s main source of income is the share from the individual churches, with some income generated from fees for weddings and funerals. Most of the fee income is paid out to cover costs to the diocese or clergy, organist, verger and clerk as well as for costs such as heating and lighting. We do almost no public fundraising as a Partnership although some is done by the individual churches to support specific causes.
The Partnership’s main expenditures are contributions to the parent bodies, this accounting for just over 80% of expenditure, leaving a small amount for general expenses including the maintenance of Hook Cemetery and outreach work. In recent years, including 2024, the Partnership has not directly employed staff and has instead relied on the goodwill of volunteers to continue the work of the charity; this work often goes unnoticed but is acknowledged here and gratefully appreciated by the trustees.
In the consolidated accounts the total unrestricted income was £82,204.42 and restricted was £0. The total unrestricted expenditure was £103,196.44 and restricted expenditure was £0.
The reserves being carried forward were £55,258.27 for unrestricted and £0 for restricted.
Our financial controls and risks have been reviewed by the trustees on an ongoing basis. This enabled us to act/react to changes to both legislation and provision requirements as soon as possible
## **Going Concern**
As of 31 Aug 2024 the Local Ecumenical Partnership will be dissolved. Each individual church community is defining their own future as single denomination churches. The intention is to ensure all activities, assets (including all reserves) and liabilities are allocated appropriately between the successor organisations, before that date. The trustees will then take steps to close the charity.
The charity is not a going concern.
As of 1 Sept 2024 the trustees have ensured occasional donations, legacies and regular giving are re-directed to the successor organisations who have committed and are organised to continue the work previously performed by the partnership. There will be no income apart from a gift aid claim for a legacy and a couple of restricted donations, and interest on deposits held by the partnership until dispersal.
As of 1 Sept 2024 the ongoing financial responsibilities pass to the successor churches. Before dissolution the partnership had a debt to the Bristol Diocese of
## **Charitable Objects**
The purpose of our Partnership is to advance the Christian faith in West Swindon and Lydiard Tregoze in accordance with the principles and practices of the Participating Churches. In achieving its purpose, the Partnership will engage in a range of activities, either on its own or with others, including (but not restricted to):
- the celebration of public worship;
- the teaching of the Christian faith;
- mission and evangelism;
- pastoral work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved;
- the provision of facilities with a Christian ethos for the local community, including (but not restricted to) the elderly, the young and other groups with special needs; and
- the support of other charities in the UK and overseas.

Our clergy comprise those who have been duly authorised and appointed by our participating denominations. Rev Canon Capt. Clive Deverell is Vicar of West Swindon and Lydiard Tregoze (Church of England and Authorised to Serve in the Upper Thames Circuit of the Methodist Church and within the URC) with responsibility across the Partnership. Rev Trevor Day is Assistant Minister (Church of England) working across the partnership. Rev Lis Arnold (CofE) based at St Mary’s Lydiard Tregoze, has Permission to Officiate in the parish. Rev Mark Tidey is Assistant Minister (Church of England) working mostly at Toothill. Rev Som Okonkwo continues to serve in the Partnership as part of his Anglican training for ministry. Rev Joseph Ribeiro is a Methodist Minister in the Upper Thames Circuit whose pastoral responsibilities extend to Toothill Church. Rev Neil Fisher is a Curate (CofE) on ministry training placement with us

## **Publicity and Communications**
Our web site https://WSwinLyd.org.uk has closed
## **Trustees**
The trustees are the members of the Partnership Council (PC). Anglican Members also constitute the Parochial Church Council (PCC) when needed to conduct Anglican specific business, though the PCC delegates as much business as it can, to the wider PC
The charity trustees have had due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
## **The Partnership Council (PC)**
The PC is the main governance and representative body. Its responsibilities are Regulatory, Oversight, Governance and External partnerships. Other responsibilities, ministry / mission, buildings, pastoral care and local leadership, are delegated to the Local Church Committees (LCC) / Leadership Teams. A fuller description of the current functions of the PC, PCC and LCCs can be found in the Partnership Constitution (2015) and in draft Standing Orders.

## **Areas of focus for 2024 reviewed**
It was agreed at a Partnership Council meeting in January 2024 to dissolve the partnership on 31 August 2024. Our goal for the year became
- Work towards a new beginning for our partnership, becoming fit for purpose.
We have made great strides in defining the shape of our new organisations. We have decided on a possible future for each local church, partially defined the work each needs to do to get there, and decided the date of dissolution. We the successor organisations, will start our new beginning on 1 Sept 2024.
## **The Community**
Membership is expressed through the Local Churches, and each congregation is responsible for encouraging regular attendees into membership. Within our different church traditions there are slight differences in understanding of membership, but this causes us no problems apart from explaining to our parent denominations.
A vital focus of the partnership before dissolution has been supporting the communities, congregations and leadership teams in their work to support those communities, during a time of uncertainty and change. The local teams have taken on new responsibilities, those of oversight and governance as well as some administrative tasks, previously the purview of the partnership team.
The 4 local churches have continued to meet for worship, continued to support children’s work, continued to reach out to their communities, and have arranged their structures to continue these activities under different denominational arrangements after 31 Aug. In the cases of St Mary’s and Holy Trinity, as separated parishes within the one CofE Benefice covering the same area as the old partnership. In the case of Toothill church as a wholly Methodist church in the Upper Thames Circuit. In the case of Westlea Church, they have decided to close, have arranged for their missionary and community activities to continue “under new management”; the members have been encouraged to seek alternative worshipping communities as “home” and the leadership team will continue to support this for some time.
## **Membership Summary**
Combined membership numbers at 31 Aug 2024 were not available and have no ongoing relevance
After the decision to dissolve the partnership was taken by Partnership Council (on 25 Jan 2024) and ratified by the Partnership AGM and CofE Annual Parochial Church Meeting (on 24 April 2024) most administrative actions to wind up the Partnership’s affairs, were delegated to the Executive committee. All administrative actions to transition the local churches to their singledenominational organisations, were to be taken by the respective local church committee and leadership teams.

The PC met on 2 occasions in 2024, in January and April (the AGM for year 2023), and one virtual “meeting” was held by email correspondence in July. Between meetings, day to day operations and decision making was delegated to the Partnership Executive.
Main PC topics during the year were:
- Safeguarding, transition of responsibilities (and records) to the new denominational structures
- Income and expenditure; plans to dispose of the financial assets of the partnership
- Other actions to dissolve our LEP, the transition or closure of the various legal and regulatory registrations.
The Partnership Executive or parts of it, met 15 times in 2024, before dissolution on 31 Aug, using video conferencing facilities or face to face.
Apart from the Executive, appointed Sub Groups handled specialist areas of work on behalf of the PC, and gave reports on progress. The groups were:
- Local church committees and leadership teams

- Messy Church team
- Open the Book team
- St Mary’s Futures group, ensuring the sustainability and continued community interest in the historic building at St Marys Lydiard Tregoze.
As of 31 Aug 2024 the PC no longer needs to meet routinely. The members elected at AGM for 2023 (in April 2024) were aware of this and that they may be called to act as a Joint Council in actions resulting from the building sharing agreements that pertain. The sharing agreements are independent of the ecumenical partnership and are likely to persist for some time. Change to the agreements is being organised by the participating denominations.
The Executive will continue to meet occasionally and conduct concluding business of the partnership, specifically the settlement and disposal of the assets of the partnership. This activity is still ongoing at the time of report.
## **Risks**
There are no risks to the Partnership as it has no ongoing activities or responsibilities, apart from the pending settlement and distribution of the shared resources between the successor organisations.
## **Induction and Training of Trustees**
There is no formal training process for trustees, however all PC members are formally inducted and made aware of their role and responsibilities at the first PC meeting after the AGM, and through discussion and briefing before and at meetings.
## **External Representation**
there are no outstanding actions and no successor churches to have a relationship with the Baptist organisations.
## **Methodist Circuit**
During 2024 the Partnership and Methodist Circuit held several discussions to determine the future of the successor church. Toothill church will continue as a Methodist only Church and, in its own right, will join the Upper Thames Circuit.
## **URC**
During 2024 the URC Synod pastoral Advisor and SW Synod authorities were informed of our decision to dissolve the ecumenical partnership. We believe there are no outstanding actions and no successor churches to have a relationship with the URC organisations.
## **Safeguarding**
As of 31 Aug 2024 we have 73 people trained and available to work with children or those who may be at risk, at the time of reporting. We have had no incidents of safeguarding concern in 2024.
In doing our work of safeguarding the Partnership Council have followed the advice and guidance of the United Reformed Church Synod Safeguarding Officer. According to section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, the PCC have given due weight to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults
Ongoing responsibility for safeguarding is passed to the safeguarding coordinators at St Mary’s Lydiard Tregoze, and at Holy Trinity Shaw, with the supervision and assistance of the Bristol Diocese, and by the safeguarding coordinator at Toothill Church with the supervision and assistance of the Upper Thames Circuit.
## **Anglican Deanery and Diocese**
During 2024 the Partnership and Anglican authorities held several discussions to determine the future of the successor churches.
Future representation to the Deanery and Diocese will be conducted through the successor Anglican Churches, St Mary’s Lydiard Tregoze and Holy Trinity, Shaw. It is conceived that the existing CofE parish may be split into two parishes sharing the single benefice.
## **Baptist Area**
During 2024 the Baptist area ministers and the WEBA and BUGB organisations were informed of our decision to dissolve the ecumenical partnership. We believe
