The Circuit produced a quarterly preaching plan to ensure regular acts of
worship take place at each of the 13 Methodist Churches in its
geographical area. These are open to all people, regardless of race,
gender, sexual orientation or religion, without charge, and serves over
350 people every week this way.
The Circuit exists to provide a living expression of the Christian faith in
action, both in individuals lives and in community work, and providing a
regional and national voice. This includes organised acts of learning,
caring, worship and service. We do this from a base of 13 caring
communities and supporting charities.
Each of our 13 churches has a variety of public services that it offers,
including, providing rooms for community use, such as Mums and Tots
groups, playgroups, youth groups and partnerships with other
organisations.| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** The Circuit Model Trust Fund had a balance at the year-end of £138,093.

March **2012** **TAR** 3 Section D Achievements and performance **Achievement and Performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity** Until March 2020 Consistent weekly worship was maintained at our 13 **during the year** sites, with growth at several sites, most led by volunteers. This has provided spiritual care and nourishment to 350 regular local worshippers, as well as approximately 750 visitors throughout the year. Our Circuit led on several Churches together projects in Wadebridge through the year, notably Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and Holiday Club. Bodmin Methodist Church hosted a weekly after school club in partnership with Light and Life fellowship, whom we still host on our premises on Sunday afternoons. Tubestation café had good level of revenue through visitors, and continued the Youth Project on Thursdays and Sundays. However, since March and the Covid Crisis all our churches and projects closed their sites for Sunday worship in-line with government guidance. Strict maintenance of government rules was maintained throughout the Circuit with coordination led by the Circuit office and church stewards. From Late March onwards the Circuit produced a weekly newsletter, plus a written sermon and written devotions which was mailed to over 100 homes every week. In addition, the circuit produced a one-hour worship service on YouTube every week, available from Friday lunchtime onwards. These followed the annual lectionary and together these projects were highly effective in keeping up morale and communication across the Circuit. Up to August 2020 the finances managed to be sustained despite cash offerings ceasing completely. Reopening began in the Summer months in some sites, but many preachers and chapels decided not to return to preaching until the Covid crisis was ‘over’. ## **Section E Financial review** The Reserves Policy of the Circuit is to hold a sum equivalent to four **Brief statement of the** months normal expenditure. This should be sufficient to meet any **charity’s policy on reserves** unforeseen major expenditure on manses or to cover the inability of a circuit church to pay their assessment. The circuit has a responsibility to hold sufficient reserves in order to pay the stipends of two ministers and meet our commitment to the District and Connexion. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** Revd Alistair Sharp **Full name(s) Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Superintendent Minister **etc) Date** 12/7/21 March **2012** **TAR** 5 **CIRCUIT RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS ACCOUNTS** # **THE METHODIST CHURCH STANDARD FORM OF ACCOUNTS** **BODMIN, PADSTOW & WADEBRIDGE** Circuit **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020** |**District**
