## **Kingston upon Thames Circuit Trustees Annual Report**
## **For the year ended 31 August 2021**
## **Public Benefit**
In setting objective and planning activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charities Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance “Public benefit running a charity (PB2) in exercising their powers or duties.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Kingston upon Thames Methodist Circuit links four Methodist churches which serve the diverse and growing communities of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Each of our congregations is distinctive with its own style of worship and its own focus for mission and service, but we are held together by our common heritage of Methodism and a shared passion to worship and serve God within our local communities.
The governing document for the circuit is the Deed of Union (1932) and Methodist Church Act (1976).
Detailed governance arrangements are outlined within the Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church by order of the annual conference (CPD).
Day to day management of the circuit is undertaken by the Circuit Leadership team along with the Local Preachers meeting, the Circuit Finance and Property Committee and the Circuit Policy Committee.
## **Purposes of the Circuit**
The purposes of a Methodist Circuit are defined by the standing orders of The Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church (CPD). They include: the effective deployment of the resources of ministry, which include people, property and finance as they relate to the Methodist churches in the Circuit, to churches of other denominations and to participation in the life of the communities served by the Circuit. (CPD: Standing Order 500).
The Circuit acts as Managing Trustees for the three residential manse properties occupied by its ministers and also for a fourth residential property formerly occupied as a manse but now let on a tenancy with the income supporting the core work of the charity. It supports and oversees the work of Church Councils who act as Managing Trustees for the local church properties and has an important role in providing scrutiny and permission giving for key decisions affecting the trusteeship of the local churches. Custodian trusteeship is provided by the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes.
## **Trustee Training**
A range of guidance produced by Methodist Connexion to support the effective running of the circuit specifically the leaflet ‘The Role of a Trustee in The Methodist Church’ is given to all new Circuit meeting members as induction to their role as trustees.
## **Related Parties**
The Circuit is part of the London District and is also accountable to the Methodist Conference. The following Methodist Churches are linked to the circuit Chessington Church, Kingston Church, New Malden Church and Surbiton Hill Church.

## **Kingston upon Thames Circuit Trustees Annual Report**
## **For the year ended 31 August 2021**
## **Risk Management**
The major risks have been identified and recorded by the Circuit Finance and Property Committee 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.
The Kingston upon Thames Circuit commits itself to ensuring the implementation of Connexional Safeguarding Policy; government legislation, guidance and safe practice in the circuit and in the churches.
The Kingston upon Thames Circuit 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.

## **Kingston upon Thames Circuit Trustees Annual Report**
## **For the year ended 31 August 2021**
## **Review of the year**
## **Introduction**
During the year of this report the circuit supported 2.5 full time equivalent Methodist Presbyters and employed one part time administrator. This core staff team, however, only exists to support, encourage, enable and strengthen the ministry of our congregations and the majority of our activities – in worship, service and trusteeship - are led by volunteers.
Our local churches enjoy enriching relationships with partner churches through the various “Churches Together” groupings in the Borough and we actively support a number of borough wide initiatives including Street Pastors, Food Bank, Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness and the Oxygen youth work project.
## **Staffing**
In September 2020 at the beginning of the reporting year the circuit welcomed a new member to its ministerial staff team. Rev. Dr. Mark Wakelin joined us on a 0.5fte equivalent basis to be the minister at Chessington Methodist Church. This was a difficult time to begin a new stage of ministry as partial lockdown rules were in place at the time. Our welcome service had to be offered as an internet broadcast and the normal processes of induction and establishing the new team had to be given more time and thought than would have been usual.
The two continuing ministers in the circuit team both come to the end of their current invitation periods in August 2022. A circuit invitations committee was convened in the spring of 2021 and followed carefully the procedures for consultation with both the ministers and local churches. The decision on whether to agree an extension to these periods of invitation is made at the Sept. 2021 Circuit Meeting (though subject to the support of The Methodist Conference in June 2022) and therefore lies outside the formal scope of this report. It is, however, impossible to say anything meaningful about our future plans without reporting that decision here. Rev. Dr. Stan Brown was invited for a further year from Sept. 2022- August 2023 at which point he intends to retire. Rev. Dr. Karl Rutlidge was invited for a further four years from September 2022 to August 2026.
The circuit’s one lay employee is the Circuit Co-ordinator whose work has also been vital through the year. He has been able to work effectively from home when required
## **COVID-19 Responses**
2020-2021 was a year of constantly changing responses to the virus. The Circuit had to respond to the different degrees of lockdown and the Tier system. Fortunately all our churches are within the same London Borough and we did not experience any of the issues which the introduction different covid rules in different parts of our circuit would have caused.
In keeping with our circuit policy of supporting the churches to develop their own mission plans, each church took responsibility for its own rolling risk assessment with regard to the differing natures of our properties and communities. Worship programs varied through the year as the degree of restriction ebbed and flowed. All four churches continued to develop an effective online presence with new patterns of hybridity beginning to emerge as worship moved to a combination of face to face and online

## **Finance**
Some community groups were able to meet again in church buildings at periods during the reporting year. This led to a mixed pattern for rental income which might best be described as “patchy”. Once again direct giving by congregations continued to be strong though with some variation across the churches. Fall in income was greatest for the churches with the highest proportion of giving from cash donations in services and least in those with the highest proportion of direct debits and standing orders in the profile of congregational giving.
Reserves are held both by the individual churches and the circuit. Early in the closure period a more regular meeting of local church finance officers had been created and reserve policies revised. During 2020-2021 the circuit continued with the reserve policy established at the beginning of the Covid crisis – that local church reserves would be used first and the reserves held by the circuit kept as a second line. So far it has not been necessary to call on the circuit reserves to support any of the local churches. Local church reserves have been regularly monitored with forward projections to indicate when each church might drop below the recommended reserve of six months expenditure.
## **Income trends**
Circuit income is primarily drawn from the assessment paid by the circuit churches. The rental income relates to the rental of a manse in Kingston upon Thames.
## **Expenditure trends**
Stipend expenditure has increased each financial year in line with conference approved increases. The other expenditure includes costs involved in the upkeep of other manse property within the Circuit.
## **Fund balances**
As at 31 August 2021 the net current assets of the Circuit were £200,635 (2020: £181,737), giving approximately five months cover of expenditure. Plans for 2021/22 Circuit financial plans for the coming year have been prepared on the basis that there are 2.5 full time ordained staff with anticipated cost of living stipend increases combined with an increase in the assessment paid to the district.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Reserves Policy for the Circuit is to hold a minimum sum equivalent to 6 months’ average expenditure. This should be sufficient to meet any unforeseen item of major expenditure on manses and to be able to continue, in the short term, funding planned activities in the event of any inability to raise the full Circuit Assessment from churches.
## **Property**
The circuit has fulfilled its responsibility as managing trustees for the manse properties through the work of its manse stewards and has overseen the work of local managing trustees for the churches through the Circuit Meeting. There are nine Methodist Trust properties in the circuit and Quinquennial inspections are carried out by rotation with maintenance schedules being developed from these inspections. The circuit manages one rental property – a former manse now let as a residential property. A void in the tenancy at the beginning of the reporting year gave an

## **Kingston upon Thames Circuit Trustees Annual Report**
## **For the year ended 31 August 2021**
opportunity for the property to be inspected and some redecoration and minor improvements to be made on the advice of the estate agent. Our “sinking fund” for major manse repairs had not been established long enough to cover this work and the circuit made use of reserves in order to complete the work and get the property back on the market as quickly as possible. This cost and the loss of rental income is reflected in the accounts. The property was quickly re-let with a small uplift in the rental value. Income from the property and the manse reserves policy is repaying the costs taken from our general reserve.
## **Safeguarding**
The circuit has a role in overseeing the safeguarding work of each local church. During the year our circuit safeguarding officer has worked hard with each local church to ensure that local safeguarding officers are in place and training provided to all relevant volunteers. Our safeguarding policy receives an annual review which was carried out by the Circuit Meeting. Safeguarding is of the highest importance across all our work and we are grateful for the care with which our volunteers ensure this responsibility is constantly kept before us.
## **Looking Forward**
During the year the Circuit Leadership Team increasingly recognised that its role and the mission of the circuit needed to be reviewed in the light of the rapidly changing circumstances. The difficulty of ensuring full and proper consultation and conversations during a time of sporadic video conferencing was, however, recognised and significant discussion has been postponed until the situation improves.
Although slightly outside the time frame of this report decisions on our future ministerial staffing were reported above under “Staffing”. The retirement of the current superintendent minister in 2023 will require a major consultation exercise in 2021-2022. This will run in partnership with the policy of reviewing the mission and structure of the circuit. The timing allows for reassessment, flexibility and change as we emerge from the Covid pandemic. Rev. Dr. Stan brown will also be on sabbatical leave for 12 weeks in 2022. The need for consultation and review together with this limitation on time in the coming financial year mean that we are not attempting any significant development initiatives beyond those already mentioned.

Any depreciation would not be material. The property has been reviewed for impairment.
## **Investment Properties**
