## **Trustee Report 2021** The Circuit Funds essentially provide for - The ministerial oversight, pastoral care of the 17 active local churches - The support of a ministry team of five presbyters and a deacon - The maintenance of seven Circuit manses and two churches where we have ceased to meet - The resources for 2 lay employees and running costs of the Circuit Resources Centre - District Assessment - Assistance to the churches in the Circuit to help develop their property for mission - Expenses in relation to Local Preaching and the life of the Circuit in worship, mission and cate The Circuit Budget is reviewed annually ideally in conjunction with the Church Treasurers- the pandemic and subsequent uncertainty prevented this happening last year. The budget covers the costs of the above and the assessment for each church is agreed in consultation with the church treasurers Like all walks of life, the last 12 months have been challenging for the Methodist Church at all levels- be that Connexionally, District and Circuit Prior to the pandemic we had several churches that were struggling due to decreasing active members which naturally links to financial pressuresUnfortunately in the last 12 months we have had one church that has ceased to worship _As_ a circuit we have a policy of supporting the local churches- and at the start of the pandemic we issued an assurance to the treasurers that if they were struggling due to the loss of income then we would help- As such we agreed an assessment holiday for one church and a reduced amount for a couple of the others In addition, we have supported another with an interest free loan to cover some unexpected expenditure. We also have been supporting the running costs of 2 redundant properties – again delay in either the sale or possibilities for future use has been delayed due to the pandemic. Of course – going forward the financial impact because of the pandemic is still unknown – As a circuit we initially agreed not to fill one of our ministerial vacancies for 12 months from September 2021- This has now increased to a second vacancy due to another colleague been successful in being stationed to a critical post in another District. We are at the start of undertaking a full review of the mission and structure of the Circuit. The result of this review will naturally impact our financial thinking. ## **NORTH KIRKLEES AND MORLEY METHODIST CIRCUIT ACCOUNTS 2020/2021** |**INCOME**
