Trustees' Report
Church Report
April 2021 - March 2022
We continued to meet on zoom until regulations were relaxed. When we first started meeting in person, we continue to wear masks and social distance. The regulation change now means that we no longer must wear face masks. We still encourage people to social distance and to wash and sanitise their hands regularly.
We continue to stream our meetings to Antioch’s church members page for those who are still unable to attend in person. Stuart has continued to faithfully hold a communion on zoom on Sunday evenings, which is especially good for those who are unable to attend in person.
As a leadership team we worked through a module of Paul Manwaring’s leadership course. We found it to be helpful.
The leadership team meets weekly either on zoom or in person. We held an away day in September and came away with 5 intentions for the church:
At Antioch we believe in:
The pursuit of His presence;
Living a supernatural lifestyle;
The goodness and faithfulness of God;
Serving our community;
And a culture of honour.
Our congregation continues to be a pleasure to lead. When we gather the presence of the Holy Spirit feels strong. We are family and we continue to support and be there for each other.
Wheelhouse Café Report April 2021 – March 2022
Again, this has been a difficult year for the café. We began the year shut due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and I was employed working around the building. We finally reopened the café on 21st September 2021. Things went well, and business built well. In the run up to Christmas we undertook Christmas lunches for the teams that were working within the centre (Careers Wales, Lifeshare Foodbank and Phlebotomy). These were a great success, and really made the teams feel appreciated.
Unfortunately, following Christmas the heating in the foyer broke, and due to the temperature, it was not possible to reopen the café. In the interim, I again used my hours working around the building and improving the décor. As part of this, I also used the time to improve the layout within the café and added a book library. I also increased the repertoire of meals provided by the café. During the time we were closed we received an impromptu visit from Environmental Health to undertake our Food Hygiene Rating. They usually only visit when the premises is trading (as they want to see what you are doing in ’real time’) but the gentleman was very happy with all the paperwork that he was able to see from our previous open periods and decided to give us the top rating of 5, with no recommendations. When the heating was repaired, we reopened the café on 6th April and was very encouraged that had our best day of business in the café ever!

Men’s group
The Monday night men’s group has continued to meet over the past year. Either in person or via Zoom. Each meeting there is opportunities to discuss a bible passage or subject. A time of prayer and support of each other. Each week depending on work etc there will be anything from 2-6 guys attending. The group has been a vital support to those coming in what has been a challenging year for everyone.
Supernatural living
There have been no meetings of this group this past year.
Healing Rooms
The healing rooms has continued to offer prayer to people mainly on FaceTime but recently face to face too. I hope to continue to do this in the coming year.
Brothels
There have been no visits to our ladies as until quite recently the parlours have been closed. I have kept in contact with some of our ladies and am aware which parlours are open again. Now I am unsure as to the future of this outreach.
Bible Study
From March 2021 the pandemic still limited face to face contact and so the bible study continued to be online via zoom. Hannah led this every week and continued to work the gospel of John. In attendance were Joan Powell, Lyn Moran, Pam Haughton, and Carol Pike. Throughout the study we would reflect and discuss the meaning of the passages and how it then effected in day-to-day life. The study came to an end in July 2021 as Hannah received a full-time job and couldn’t commit to continuing.
Prayer Evenings
In February, Ben started a twice monthly prayer and worship evening for the congregation to attend. There was a sense that God was moving and there was a recognition that we needed to pray corporately together. There has been a good turn out and we have prayed for the war Ukraine, the Centre and all the people that use it, the church congregation, the foodbank, the local community, and local churches. Our hope is that by praying and spending time in God’s presence, we will see God move in these various areas and people having radical encounters with the living God.
Lifeshare
This year has been marked by a time of transition and growth, specifically in the following areas:
-
The Foodbank employed a manager on a part-time basis - grant funding was procured to
-
- facilitate a paid member of staff for the first time in the 10+ years of the foodbank operating; this marks a new season of how the service operates.
-
Relocated the foodbank from the small room where it was historically situated into the former ‘shop area’ at the front of the building. Purchased and built new shelving which enabled the
-
- increased volume of stock to be stored appropriately and allows for regular stock rotation to avoid wastage with items going out of date; this was becoming an issue owing to the larger quantities of food currently being donated.
-
Recruited nine new volunteers:
-
Continued collaboration with local schools and organisations donating items:

Trustees' Report
-
The demand for the Christmas Hamper Appeal dramatically increased; this reflected the
-
- continued need within our community from those struggling financially and the positive relationships we have built with organisations from whom we receive referrals.
-
Key statistics for the year April 2021 – March 2022:
-
4 individuals from 3 different local churches
-
1 community member
-
3 members of our own church
-
1 young female stopped volunteering when she started a full-time college course; we were able to offer her support and work experience for the short time she volunteered with us.
It has been encouraging to see local churches supporting our foodbank. Through contact with one volunteer plans are in place to set up a ‘Drop-off Point’ for Foodbank donations at a local church.

Newid Studios
Annual Report 2021/22
The studio has been able to open more as Covid allowed.
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.

Trustees' Report
Bookings:
There has been an increase in rehearsal bookings. This coupled with price increases has meant that income has increased significantly.
A weekly radio show with presenter Paul who happens to have been blind was started and ran for 5 months. Unfortunately, he died, and it was discontinued.
Notable recording in November- voice over for the BBC series “Darklands”.
Mastering:
There has been an increase in people having their material mixed and mastered. Also recording audio books.
Centre Report
After the first year of the pandemic which brought a lot of uncertainty, 2021-22 has been positive and the Centre has built steadily over this last year.
There are several NHS clinics that are currently running which includes Cardiac Rehab, Phlebotomy, Retinopathy, Heart failure clinic and Pulmonary rehab. One of the things that has been positive is to partner with the NHS and help them drive down their waiting lists that have built up over the pandemic and provide a welcoming, safe environment in the community.
The business units have also been popular through the pandemic with Careers Wales hiring 2 units and helping people prepare their CV’s, interviews and look for employment. Tardiadd Therapeutic services who offer play therapy for children that have been through trauma have run throughout the pandemic and have recently relaunched as a business, they currently use one unit. There are a few more units that are vacant, but it’s been really encouraging to see more used.
We have recently seen some other groups return including the Llanelli Arts Society, The Wallich and Trinity Harmony Choir. It has the feel that people are beginning to feel safe to come along to things again.
The Café and foodbank have both submitted separate reports but there has been a real sense of life in and around the foyer, particularly now the heating has been fixed. There are so many people that enter the building for various things, and it has been significant to see people welcomed and celebrated as they enter. I look forward to seeing how this develops and builds as we continue.
Church use of the building has continued to increase as restrictions have eased. The Sunday services are now face to face. Liz’s Friday morning group continues to meet in the prayer room. Stuart’s men’s group continues to meet at the building. JGen and JGen kids also meet weekly during term time. A fortnightly prayer meeting has also recently started in the prayer room.
The hope for this year is to be able to employ a new Centre Manager for 3 days per week to build on what’s been happening this year and release Ben to focus on the Church with Beth. It has been a challenge for Ben to manage the Centre, Church, and Finance side of things for so long and it feels like the right time to transition to this change. Our prayer is that this person will really grow and develop what Ben, and those before him have held over the years.
Alongside this, we are continually praying for people to encounter God through our kindness and hospitality, and we want to speak words of life and encouragement into those using the Centre. Our hope is that people will come to meet Jesus.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Antioch Christian Centre
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 16.
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.

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.
