Totley Rise Methodist Church TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Introduction

We recognise this last year has continued to be difficult due to the pandemic and church life has not yet completely returned to normal. We are pleased however that many of our activities have now resumed and hirers have returned to using our premises. The leadership team have met regularly throughout the year to review our mission strategy, respond to the changes caused by Covid‐19 and to maintain our buildings.

Due to a number of reasons (death, moving away, ceasing to meet) our membership has declined over this last year. However we are looking towards the future with renewed hope. A community outreach group has been set up to help make greater connections with those in the area and to partner with other groups and churches where we can. Financial giving continues to be encouraged and this provides the church with a regular income and also builds relationships with the community. During the year the church has maintain a comparable level of contribution to both the Methodist circuit and to a list of local, national and international cause as for previous years.

Safeguarding remains central for the church and in accordance with the Methodist Church national policy, our safeguarding policy has been reviewed and amended in accordance with these guidelines. It was adopted by the trustees at our Church Council meeting on March 2nd. In accordance with government guidelines we continue to be aware of the risk of Covid 19 and follow government and Methodist Church guidance.

During the last year, our caretaker has re‐decorated some of the rooms in the centre, however previous plans to refurbish and extend the premises continue to be put on hold.

Aims and organisation

At the heart of the Methodist Church is a statement called “Our calling” which states how the whole church seeks to respond to the gospel of God’s love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in Worship and Mission. This is expressed through: Worship; Learning and caring; Service; Evangelism. This is further developed here locally at Totley Rise within our mission statement which has the strapline “Gather, grow and Go.” We gather as a Christian network, seeking to grow in number and spirituality and go into the community to meet and engage with people. This is demonstrated in the practical outreach activities and social media presence, as well as the way we use and develop the use our premises to serve the community. Governance of the church is maintained via the trustees who form the Church Council and delegated responsibility for day to day activities and management is given to the leadership team. They in turn are supported by a number of committees and volunteers. To help effect our aims and objectives the church employs a caretaker and family outreach worker who are both line managed in accordance with Methodist Church guidelines.

Totley Rise Methodist Church TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Review of the year

Income trends

Collections were approximately 2.55% more than the Budget, while Gift Aid Receipts were approximately 2.04% less than the Budget.

Lettings Income was 12.22% less than the Budget, a situation which was brought about by the Covid Pandemic that started in March 2020.

Investment Income was 83.28% less than the Budget.

Expenditure trends

Maintenance of Property & Equipment was approximately 191.87% more than the £6,000 that had been included in the Budget

Total Expenditure on Utilities was 39.12% less than had been included in the Budget and reflected the fact that use of the Church was affected by the Covid crisis.

The fact that Income from Standing Orders and Other Donations was higher than anticipated when the Budget for 2020/21 year was put together and the fact that Utility Bills and other costs were less than was predicted in the Budget, meant that the deficit for the year was less than that anticipated when the Budget was constructed.

Fund balances

As at 31st August 2021 the unrestricted net current assets of the Church were £57,509, giving almost 7 months cover for unrestricted expenditure.

Plans for 2020/21

The Ongoing Covid crisis and the uncertainty that it creates, has made planning and producing a realistic budget for 2021/22 more challenging than would otherwise be the case in more normal times. A Budget however was put together, and approved by Church Council, which shows a deficit of £15,015.

Risk Management

The major risks have been identified and recorded by the Trustees with professional advice taken as required. There is a regular annual review process undertaken and recorded.

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

Safeguarding

Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re‐creation of us in Christ. Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.

Methodist Connexional practice outlines commitment to the following principles:

• the care and nurture of, and respectful pastoral ministry with, all children, young people and adults

• the safeguarding and protection of all children, young people and adults when they are vulnerable

• the establishing of safe, caring communities which provide a loving environment where there is informed vigilance as to the dangers of abuse.

• We will carefully select and train all those with any responsibility within the Church, in line with Safer

• Recruitment principles, including the use of criminal records disclosures and registration with the relevant vetting and barring schemes.

• We will respond without delay to every complaint made which suggests that an adult, child or young

• person may have been harmed, cooperating with the police and local authority in any investigation.

• We will seek to work with anyone who has suffered abuse, developing with them an appropriate ministry of informed pastoral care.

• We will seek to challenge any abuse of power, especially by anyone in a position of trust.

• We will seek to offer pastoral care and support, including supervision and referral to the proper

• authorities, to any member of our church community known to have offended against a child, young person or vulnerable adult.

• In all these principles we will follow legislation, guidance and recognised good practice

Totley Rise Methodist Church commits itself to ensuring the implementation of Connexional Safeguarding Policy; government legislation, guidance and safe practice in the circuit and in the churches.

Totley Rise Methodist Church commits itself to the provision of support, advice and training for lay and ordained people that will ensure people are clear and confident about their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults who may be vulnerable.

Reserves Policy

The Reserves Policy for the Church is to hold a minimum sum equivalent to three months’ average expenditure. This should be sufficient to meet any unforeseen item of major expenditure on the church building and / or to be able to continue, in the short term, funding planned activities in the event of any inability to raise the full expenses including the assessment payable to the Circuit.

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 accruals basis to show a true and fair view of the Church''s financial position and activities.

Income

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Church becomes entitled to the resources, and the trustees are reasonably certain they will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Expenditure

This is recognised when a liability is incurred, or a constructive obligation arises, that results in the payment being unavoidable. Liabilities are recognised as soon as an outflow of economic benefit is considered more likely than not under the legal or constructive obligation committing the Circuit to pay out resources.

Grants

Grants made by the Church from its own funds are recognised in full at the time of agreement or when the Church 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 provision 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 Church is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expenses to which it refers.

Tangible fixed assets for use by the Church

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £1,000. The freehold property is disclosed at the most recent insurance valuation and revalued on a regular basis.

Changes on revaluation are disclosed in the SoFA

Investment Properties

** Indicate the method of depreciation by deleting the method not applicable (SL = straight line; RB = reducing balance). Also indicate the rate of depreciation: for straight line, depreciation is based on the anticipated life of the asset (in years); for reducing balance, a percentage annual deduction is made each year.
