STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a Deed of Union (1932) and The Methodist Church Act (1976). It constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Related parties
The Church is a constituent member of the Norwich Circuit of the Methodist Church.
Risk assessment.
The premises are properly insured, and Health and Safety reviews take place annually with Fire Evacuation Practices held from time to time. A risk register is maintained to safeguard the Church’s assets and future work and the Disclosure and Barring Service is consulted as appropriate. All trustees and others working with children, young people and vulnerable adults are required to attend a safeguarding CSS Foundation module training course. An asset register is maintained by the Treasurer.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims.
We are a medium sized and diverse church set on the outskirts of Norwich, England. We believe that all disciples of Jesus are called to be faithful and fruitful in their lives and this must be outworked not only in terms of worship, fellowship and care, but also in terms of mission, through using God’s gifts. The church sees its mission in terms of developing a process of disciple-making that will incorporate not-yetbelievers and encourages Christian maturity in mission among all its members – by serving and witnessing – in the power of the Spirit.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The Church has continued its on-going programme of Christian work and care.
Our Junior Church has focused on the younger people within our church and neighbourhood. Messy Church has focused on young people and families in the area. Our Cameo group, Men’s Breakfast and the Wellbeing Café have welcomed new-comers and others not usually involved in the normal Sunday activities of the church. Veg bank has supported the local community with bags of free vegetables available to any callers. Our Community Garden has proved to be a popular spot for relaxing in and produce grown is available to all. Special events are held occasionally, and an open Community Fun Day held each summer. Our building is also widely used by other organisations in the local community.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The accounts show that the on-going costs of administration of the Church were covered by income.
Reserves Policy
Funds are held in accordance with the Church’s Reserves Policy and are believed to be adequate for the declared aims and objectives of the Church and necessary maintenance of the building.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provision of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP.
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulation 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
