5. Achievements, performance and future

The Dorset South and West Circuit was formed on 1 September 2018 by an amalgamation of the former circuits of Bridport & Dorchester, Portland and Weymouth.

2020-2021: a review of the year

Inspired by the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic alternative forms of worship were used across the year to enable and encourage people to join us. This involved in person, Zoom, video and written services made available to as wide a congregation as possible. We were able to reach the housebound, who have been on the margins before and helped keep a link with those people wary of venturing out due to health concerns.

In October 2020 we joined forces with Weymouth Foodbank, to open a satellite branch at Westham Mission Hub. Whilst Westham is no longer a worshipping community, the building is used for a wide range of community groups, and over the year we have been able to build on the success of the Foodbank to forge links with The Nest, a social

supermarket, Westham Support Fund, a local charity, and Citizens Advice Bureau who have been offering Foodbank clients a telephone referral service.

During the year a significant amount of work was done to consolidate the Safeguarding records and bring training and DBS checks up to date across the Circuit.

Work was carried out on the two occupied manses in Dorchester and on Portland as a result of recommendations from the Quinquennials and the District Manse Officer. The old manse in Russell Avenue, Weymouth was sold, which has increased our reserves. No decision has yet been made whether to replace this manse.

A resources, resilience and mission plan was agreed by the Circuit Meeting to draw together the key policies and plans of the Circuit, which has helped us to plan for a strong and mission focused future as we emerge from Covid-19.

Both the Wyke Regis and Broadwey churches closed in this year, with Underhill going through the process to cease to worship, although that had not been concluded by the end of the year. During the coming year the Circuit Meeting will be evaluating whether it uses these

church sites for future mission or whether it would be prudent to dispose of the sites to bolster its emerging mission hub at Westham, Weymouth.

Revd Peter Clark will retire from the Circuit at the end of September 2021 and conversations have started about entering the stationing process for a replacement. A final decision will be made at the September 2021 Circuit Meeting.

The Circuit appointed Chris Warren to be our Chaplaincy Co-ordinator.

The Circuit Finance Officer role was created, and it is likely that this will be expanded to include Treasurer's duties from September 2021.

We were able to support Chickerell church with a financial grant to install a new kitchen which helps the Pre school meet the exacting Ofsted standards and therefore keeps the letting income flowing for Chickerell.

At the end of the year we said goodbye to two longstanding officers of the Circuit: Mrs Alison Cocks who had acted most recently as Senior Circuit Steward, and Mr Deny Hood, our treasurer, who had been in post for some years. We thank them for all their hard work and hope that they can enjoy a good rest now.

5.1 People Our new Superintendent, Revd John Yarrien, and a new Presbyter, Revd Ruth Lownsbrough joined us on the 1 September 2020, to make up the ministerial team together with Revd Peter Clark, the URC minister in Bridport. It has been a very difficult year to get to know people, as so much communication had to be done via email or Zoom, but John and Ruth have made incredible strides towards integrating themselves into the Circuit. As things opened up throughout the year, communication became easier, but people were still wary to meet in person. The lay team and Supernumeraries have supported the ministers throughout the year.

5.2 Property.

5.3 All church premises are well used, providing a wide range of worship and activities in their respective communities. All quinquennials are up to date.

5.4 The circuit manses are well maintained. The empty manse at Russell Avenue was sold during the year, as it needed so much work to bring it up to standard. Conversations are ongoing as to whether it will be replaced.

5.5 The circuit continues to benefit from the work of the local preachers and worship leaders and those in training.

5.6 Safeguarding training has taken place in the circuit and there has been a concerted effort to bring all the required DBS checks and training up to date.

6. Financial Review

6.1 The circuit has accounts with Lloyds Bank plc, Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church and Model Trust Funds with Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes (TMCP).

6.2 At 31 August 2021, the unrestricted funds of the Circuit totalled £162781 excluding properties and the Model Trust Fund. (TMCP). The funds held at TMCP and available for use are £684340, giving total funds of £847121.00

6.3 The unrestricted funds are allocated as follows:-

General Fund £723575.00 Mission Fund £51670.00 Property Fund £69576.00 Heritage Fund £ 2300.00

Totalling £847122.00

6.5 Churches gradually restarted their activities , and some lettings and fund raising events returned to our buildings, although it was very slow. Church treasurers were still very concerned as to how they would be able to meet their assessments and so the Circuit again allowed a payment holiday for the August 2021 quarter, with the proviso that this was not to be seen as a regular occurrence. By the end of the financial year church treasurers were feeling a little easier about the situation as activities were again on the rise. The Circuit is in a very fortunate position that it currently has the funds to support the churches, but going forward it would prefer to concentrate on mission opportunities led by the Circuit and the individual churches, rather than to prop up ailing congregations. To that end a proposal is to be put to the September Circuit Meeting to increase the mission fund to £200,000.00 and to actively seek mission opportunities that can be supported with that money.

During 2020-2021 both the Wyke Regis and Broadwey Methodist churches ceased to worship and by the end of the year plans were being put together to sell Wyke Regis church and to consider the future of the Broadwey building as it is currently the home of Smarties PreSchool.

7. Grants Policy

The Circuit Meeting 9 March 2020 agreed to adopt the following Grants Policy. Each building-funding application should be prepared, and will be assessed, through consideration of the following:

  1. How will your scheme increase Kingdom of God work in your community?

  2. Is there any other building in your location that could fulfil the functions of your scheme as effectively? – church or secular.

  3. Have you discussed your scheme with neighbouring churches of all denominations and with your local community?

  4. Is your scheme compatible with the anticipated life of your church fellowship.

  5. Have you thought of other ways of doing Kingdom of God work in your community without your building?

  6. Without the upgrading and maintenance of your building to occupy you, what would be released in terms of your energy and finance to let God's Kingdom take flight in your community in new ways?

Dorset South and West Methodist Circuit Charity Number 1150182 Annual report for year ended 31 August 2021

8

  1. Are your premises a hindrance to mission rather than a basis for undertaking Kingdom of God work in your locality?

The Circuit is continually re-evaluating its grant policies to put mission at the forefront of its work and a further proposal will be put to the September Circuit Meeting as outline in 6.5 above.

8. Risk Management

Income and expenditure is being monitored in total and is compared with the approved budget on at least a half yearly basis to detect trends as part of the risk management process to avoid unseen calls on reserves.

9. Safeguarding

It is the Methodist Church's intention to value every human being as part of God's creation and the whole people of God. At the heart of the Methodist community is a deep sense of the place of welcome, hospitality and openness, which demonstrates the nature of God's grace and love for all.

Our church communities are called to be places where the transformational love of God is embodied and life in all its fullness is a gift, which is offered to all people.

There are no distinctions regardless of gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion/beliefs, pregnancy/maternity and gender reassignment; as a result, everyone has the right to protection from abuse and to be treated no less favourably than others, irrespective of any personal or protected characteristic.

The Dorset South and West Circuit commits itself to ensuring the implementation of the Connexional Safeguarding Policy, government legislation, guidance and safe practice in the circuit and in the churches. The Circuit commits itself to the provision of support, advice, training for lay and ordained people that will ensure everyone is clear and confident about their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults who may be vulnerable.

10. Reserves Policy

10.1 The Circuit's objectives and activities are to facilitate sharing of resources amongst the local churches to empower them to function as effective witness, mission and caring centres.

10.5 The current level of general reserves and property repair fund reserves is £69576.00 giving the Circuit ample funds to meet commitments over the coming year, including the maintenance of the manses.

10.6 Taking into consideration all the above factors the Circuit needs to hold in the combined general and property repair funds, £73450.00 being three months expenditure. The current levels could increase over the next three years with the employment of extra staff and setting assessments at a level to meet the needs of the Circuit. During 2020/2021, it was necessary to use some of the reserves to give churches an "assessment holiday" brought about by the closure of all places of worship due to the Coronavirus pandemic. 10.7 The Model Trust Fund at £684340.21 is held as a reserve to cover major property expense and to expand mission work within the Circuit.

Dorset South and West Circuit

Notes to support accounts

1. These accounts are compliant to the FRS102 and FRS102 2015 SORP standards. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable charity law in England, this being the Charities Act 2011 and SI 2008/629 (Charities Accounting and Reporting Regulations).

2. Funds

The funds held constitute: General Funds, which are unrestricted, are held for any purpose of the Circuit. The Circuit Model Trust Funds has wide purposes defined in Standing Orders and is categorised as unrestricted. Any funds may be represented by more than just cash.

3. Accounting policies

Basis

These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except that investments are shown at their market value at the end of the year, on the accrual basis to show a true and fair view of the Circuit's financial position and activities.

Based on the monetary assets and human resources available to the Circuit at 31 August 2021, the trustees believe the Circuit is a going concern.

Income recognition

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Circuit becomes entitled to the resources, it is probable we will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred or a constructive obligation arises and the outflow of economic benefit is considered more likely than not, committing the Circuit to pay out resources.

Grants

Grants made by the Circuit from its own funds are recognised in full at the time of agreement or when the Circuit accepts that there is a legal or operational obligation to make the payment. When the grant is recurrent over more than one year the balance payable in future years is treated as a provisions for future commitments in the Balance Sheet against the appropriate fund, the provision being released in future years as instalments are paid in accordance with the originally agreed terms.

VAT

Since the Circuit is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expenses to which it refers.

Tangible fixed assets for use by the Circuit.

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost less than £1000.00. The freehold property is shown in the accounts at £3,114,193 deemed values, of which the land component is deemed to be nil. No depreciation is provided on the buildings because the trustees consider the residual fair value of the manse buildings and others, to be not less than its market value. Any depreciation would not be material. The properties have been reviewed for impairment.

Investments

Investments are valued in the balance sheet at market value at the year end. Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable and any gains or losses on revaluation at the end of the year are shown in the SOFA.

Pensions

Most ordained presbyters and deacons are members of the Methodist Ministers' Pension Scheme (MMPS). This is a defined benefit scheme. The Supreme Court held in 2014 that Methodist Ministers are not employees of the Church. For simplicity when dealing with National Insurance Contributions and pension contributions the terms "employer" and " employee" are used as they would be in an employing body. The Connexion accounts the MMPS a pension scheme and shows the figures in the annual Methodist Church in Great Britain accounts.

On the other hand, lay employees are contractually employees and have the option of joining a Pension Scheme. The Circuit uses the NEST scheme for lay employees. Contributions are 6% for both employer and employee.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explan3tions from the trustees concerning any such matter5. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the account5 present a 'true and fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
