Trustees' Report
Annual Antioch Church repor t
From April 2020 the church has been meeting via zoom due to the corona virus. This was quite an adjustment at first, but it has been a great resource to help us all stay connected. The leadership team also collated a list of those attending Antioch, so each member of the team had a group of people to keep in contact with, to check that they were doing ok.
We are continuing to meet on zoom and have started the process of looking into when we will meet again in person. The leadership team has been meeting via zoom weekly throughout the pandemic. We have been doing an apostolic course together run by Paul Manwaring. We have been able to learn, discuss and pray together about the church and community. Out of this, we hope to restart small groups in some form as we believe this is where church is moving to. Ben and Beth have been meeting with other church leaders in Llanelli via zoom weekly throughout the pandemic, this has been very beneficial in strengthening friendships throughout this time.
Antioch’s annual October women’s conference Carriers couldn’t meet in person but was switched to online. Zoom and Facebook live was used to reach women throughout wales, the UK and abroad. The carriers team also put on a mini carrier’s online in May 2020.
Centre report
In March 2020, the coronavirus pandemic hit and had a huge impact on the Centre. The Centre closed totally except for essential services of the phlebotomy service and the foodbank. After initially pulling out of Antioch when the pandemic hit, in May the clinic resumed and relocated to the Crazy Maisie’s side of the building to accommodate over 120 patients a day at Antioch. Through the pandemic, Antioch has been the only venue in Llanelli where people are able to get a blood test.
There was brief spell in the Summer of 2020, where a few groups returned. We had a training day run by the Wallich, a few community groups used the building but because of the uncertainty around the Pandemic and the fact we went back into lockdown, things never quite built up again. Over the Summer, we looked at opening the Café to the local community, with an emphasis on a place to work for those that struggled to work from home. We also received a grant around this time to improve the WIFI at the building. This was very successful and the internet around the building is much more reliable. The Café was also building positively but unfortunately had to close again because of restrictions. The Café is something that we wanted to be the heart of the Centre, a place that draws people in. We feel it is significant for the overall church and how we engage with the community and look forward to building on this when restrictions allow.
The Centre received a grant early in the pandemic that greatly helped but the generosity of the church community and local community really has meant we have thrived through the pandemic.
It’s too soon to say what the impact of the pandemic will have on the centre and community as we emerge, but we look forward to helping to provide creative solutions to some of the challenging problems that emerge and engaging with our community.
Men’s group
This past year meeting in person has not been possible so our meetings have taken place over Zoom. But despite that we have enjoyed some great times together. The evenings were a time to support each other throughout this challenging time. We normally look at some bible passages or subject. Ending the time with prayer as people had various needs or requests. The hope is to be able to meet again in person soon.
Sunday night worship evenings
This has not happened over this past year, but we hope to be able to start having times together in the prayer room at Antioch soon

Supernatural living group
This has not had any meetings over this past year but praying about some possible times together in the future.
Wheelhouse Café report April 2020 – March 2021
This has been a difficult year for the café. We began the year shut due to the Coronavirus pandemic, making use of the government furlough scheme. We did not attempt to open during the summer when some restrictions were eased, but things were looking better in the autumn and we reopened in November. We put all precautions in place to ensure safety of staff and clients, following all relevant guidelines. We also put new initiatives in place such as ‘hot desking’ which we advertised on social media. We also opened on a Thursday, with Hayley covering the café then. There was a gradual build in interest and business throughout that time. Unfortunately, we went back into national lockdown on December 19th and the café once again closed and staff were furloughed. It is hoped that the café will reopen again when restrictions are eased.
Lifeshare report
Antioch’s Food and Clothes bank was one of the few things that has continued to operate from the building over the Pandemic. We saw a large increase in use over the pandemic.
In 2020-21, we have fed over 2000 people through the Foodbank, an increase of 61% on the previous financial year. This equates to roughly 16,125 kgs of food over the year, an increase of 168% on the previous financial year.
The foodbank was able to secure some funding over the financial year to help us through. This included:
-
a) £400 from neighbourly
-
b) £5000 from Community Foundation Wales towards the Foodbank
-
c) £5000 from Community Foundation Wales towards a Foodbank manager role
-
d) £3000 from the Moondance foundation
We have also seen a huge increase in donations to the foodbank over the last year. Morrison’s and ASDA have faithfully given regularly. We have received regular donations from local churches, schools, and the community. The Council also helped the foodbank when the pandemic first hit. We have received some small donations of money and regular support from our faithful church community.
We also received some free books to give out to the local community from a local publishing organisation called Graffeg.
Several of our volunteers had to shield which meant that Ben and Beth took on the Foodbank. However, it was a few volunteers that really kept the service running. These were Hannah, Allison and Ann and some others. We are grateful for their service to the foodbank over the last year as we would have had to close were it not for them. We are also very grateful to those that were helping/ volunteering before the pandemic hit.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t build on the relationship with the Wheelhouse Café or invite people into the building because of the restrictions. However, as restrictions ease, we hope to return to this as soon as possible.
Newid Studios.

Antioch Christian Centre
Trustees' Report
The studio has had to mainly be closed due to Covid19 regulations.
Rockschool exam days:
These conveniently happened during periods that were more opened although reduced to one day per term. The connection with education is welcomed as part of the aims of the studio.
Safety:
Clear screens have been purchased to help with keeping social distancing.
The extractor in and out have been upgraded to completely circulate fresh air every 20 minutes.
A fogger has been purchased to aid with total viral cleaning.
- A register was kept for Track and Trace.
The studio fogged and wiped clean between each band.
During the three opening periods the studio was able to partially open for practicing bands before having to shut down again.
Notable recording in November- voice over for the BBC series “Darklands”.
Youth annual report for Antioch Church
JGEN (Jesus generation) has continued to meet on zoom throughout the COVID pandemic. Beth Taylor has lead this throughout, with the help of Hannah, Sarah and Carol. Beth continues to lead Jgen on zoom with Carol. The number that has attended Jgen has reduced but for those that attend it has been very encouraging. We continue to meet on zoom and hope to meet in person soon if the legislation allows.
During the pandemic we saw that there was a need for a youth group for the younger kids in church (Jgen kids) we then set up a youth group for the 8–12-year-old. This is on a Wednesday night on zoom at 6.45, we hope to be able to do this in person in the future. This is led by Beth and Sarah.
Bible Study report
As the pandemic has continued to stop face to face contact the bible study went online via Zoom from March 2020. This bible study is led by Hannah Evans and has a core group of attendees consisting of Pam Haughton, Lyn Moran, Joan Powell, Carol Pike and Helen Anderson. Throughout the year the group has focused on different books of the bible including, Ephesians, Colossians and presently working through the gospel of John. In the study the members ask questions, point out observations, discuss the text and look to see how biblical principles can affect lives today. The meeting normally ends in prayer. Biblical study is something very important here at Antioch church which will continue, with the hope of when restrictions are lifted the study can be back in person at the Wheelhouse Cafe at Antioch.
Worship report
As the pandemic hit in March 2020 all worship sessions went online. In each Sunday service, there continues to be a worship slot which happens on zoom and on Facebook live as Facebook live gives a better sound quality and so the congregation can choose whichever they want to participate in. Currently there are 3 worship teams which rotate between Mark Lowe, Beth Taylor and Tim and Ann O’Hare, with the occasional YouTube worship when no teams are available. With the obvious limitations of online zoom services the worship teams have still managed to create a place where the presence of God can be felt, worship is still a very integral part of Antioch’s DNA and look forward to the time when the congregation can all worship in the same room again.

Healing Rooms
Continue to function on a limited basis through social media. Still supported by Rob and Cath also on social media! Hopefully in the not-so-distant future the healing rooms at the Antioch building will be able to be used again.
Charis
Unfortunately, over the period of the pandemic it has not been possible to visit the women. The brothels were open for short periods but as social distancing, face masks etc were not in evidence it was decided it was unwise to visit. At Christmas Allison did manage to deliver a parcel of goodies to one of the brothels and take a food parcel to one woman she is in contact with. We continue to pray for the women and hope to see them someday soon.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Antioch Christian Centre
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. 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 accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 5 April 2021
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005)', issued in March 2005, applicable accounting standards and the Charities Act 2011.
Fund accounting policy
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 14.
Incoming resources
Voluntary income including donations and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
-
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
-
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost.
