STOKESLEY METHODIST CIRCUIT

Reg. Charity No: 1147112

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

Year ending 31st August 2021

Aim of the Charity: ‘Growing and Serving in Christ’

Activities of the Charity:-

We continue to pay particular attention to the Charity Commission’s guidance on providing activities for the public benefit. Our churches are focal points in several villages and towns enabling us to serve these local communities. We can be of particular benefit to those seeking to discover and practise the Christian faith. We provide Christian Worship across the geographical area covered by the charity.

We promote and practise prayer, Bible study and training.
We actively encourage all ages to discover & grow in the Christian faith.
We support the vulnerable and fight injustice at home & abroad.
We maintain our buildings for our own and community use.
We work ecumenically where appropriate.

Our Achievements for public benefit this year:-

a. We have provided regular and varied Christian worship, open to all, in various different venues and have organised bible study groups, prayer groups and Christian café book clubs. Many of these have continued to run digitally during the Pandemic with the hope that they will resume in person as restrictions are reduced; all churches have resumed in-person services, with two churches additionally continuing to stream services via Youtube. b. We have run Christian programmes for toddlers, children and youth, and have linked with local schools through our ministers, volunteers and youth workers. Links with local schools and church run toddler groups have continued despite the pandemic, offering them classroom or home based activities and the materials to do these.

c. Pre pandemic we held many regular and one off events on our premises to support the local community including coffee mornings, lunches, teas, concerts, film clubs, speakers, craft clubs, a wide variety of fellowship groups, toddler groups and after school clubs. These are all promoted to and attended by the wider public. Planning for the resumption of many of these events is underway.

d. We give time and money to projects supporting the marginalised and fighting injustice eg: ecumenically through Christian Aid, and through Traidcraft etc. Many of our churches have become collection hubs for others in need including Food Banks, Christmas appeals for the Salvation Army, Seafarers and local Asylum projects.

e. Pre pandemic, several of our church premises were rented by community groups such as U3A, Music Societies, Dance & Exercise groups. There is a community hub that operates out of the church in Hutton Rudby. It includes a café, computer hub and play area. Volunteers from the Hub provided vital support to those isolated in a rural area during the pandemic.

f. We have a network of trained volunteers who visit those who are going through difficult times, and offer prayer support. This has continued throughout the year and been a valued support during a particularly difficult time.

Declaration: We confirm that no serious incidents occurred between 01/09/2020 and 31/08/2021
