Re
ort of the Trustees
Church Re
The church has seen some exciting things happening over the lastyear.
The senior leaders have started to establish their own connections and have been inspired by attending
leader5. conference at Chroma Church in Leicester. This has enabled them to receive from God and develop
more of a strategy and a vision.
The beginnings of this involved giving rn0￿ of an emphasis lin faithl on new salvations. At the start of the
vear, we began opening event meetings with an opportunity for people to give their life to Jesus. As a result of
this we have seen 3 people give their lives to Jesus and 3 people recommit their lives. It has also enabled the
church to build in more of a structure around this.
The senior leader5 have also applied to be part of a brand-new programme called Strengthen that aims to
gather 10 couples who lead together and strengthen them as individua15. couples, leaders and their church.
They have attended the first session, and it has been excellent. We look forward to seeing how this develops.
The leadership team continues to meet weekly and work well together. One member of the team left this
year, but it was positive to be able to end things well and cheerthem on in their decision.
Antioch continues to build with the local churches and in their connection with New Wine Cymru as well as
continuing to build with Rob and Cath Whillier who have been incredibly supportive of us.
Small groups conttnue to run on a Monday and Friday every other week and men's walks every couple of
months.
We hope to continue to develop more of a strdtÈgy and clearervision forthe church in 2024-25 and are
excited by what God has been doing. The senior leaders would like to continue to attend the Strengthen
programme and the Chroma leaders, gatherings as this has been hugely beneficial for them and forthe
church.
Goals forthe coming year:
l. Develop a clearer vision and rtrategy for the church.
2. Continue to explore and build on new and existing connections.
3. Develop the leadership team and look to get some new people on
4. Continue to focus on new salvations

Centre
The last 12 months have been both exciting and at times challenging for the Centre. We've seen several NHS
clinics continuing to be run e.8. retinopathy, pain management & pulmonary rehab, whilst, at the same time.
new partnerships have been developed which have allowed us to connert with drfferent members of the
community.
For Èxample, we've had the opportunityto host UK Government funded Cook24 in two of the business units
upstsirs. This in turn has led to several Cook24 events being held in other parts of the building throughout the
year. Local schools have come into the Centre which in turn has allowed us to share what we do with even
rn0￿ people. It's been a real privilege to be a part of Cook24's journey thus far.
Additionally. Cook24 have been joined by People Plus in the business units upstairs. This collaboration with the
Job Centre focuses on gethng people back into work by helping with job clubs, preparing Cvs and interview
skills. With Cook24 joining People Plus in hiring units upstairs, we're excited to note that all nine units are now
full, a real answer to prayer!
Other new partnerships include the opportunityto hostthe dance, drdma and acting school Phoenix every
Thursday evening in the main hall and café. The school hopes to grow such that it can then offer classes to a
wider age range in other parts of the building.
Part way through the year, a new Centre Manager was hired for3 days per week, Something we've been
praying into as a church for about a decade! Our new Centre Manager El has settled in well, thriving in her
new role, and as the financial year closed out, she successfully completed her probationary period and we're
looking at int￿a51ng her role by an extra day per week. Since El's appointment, several strategic partnerships
have been built and we look forward to seeing how these develop and grow overthe coming months.
One of the most unanticipated aspects of this yearwas when we were served notice by Hywel Dda Health
board of their intention to move the phlebotomy service from Antioch after more than a decade here. Antioch
helped trial this service so it will be a bittersweet moment when we say goodbye to staff who have become
like friends, whilst looking forward with anticipation t¢)wards what'5 next. The phlebotomy service will cease
th
on May 17 2024.
The Wheelhouse café and Lrfeshare food & clothes bank have shared specific updates but with the
appointment of our new Centre Manager, we've had the opportunity to further cement team relationships
and collaborate in way5 that have been a ￿31 benefit to the people we serve in our community.
For example, in January we secured a small grant from The Heart Of Wales Line that allowed u5 to trial "Tasty
Tuesday" During this trial period. our café manager cooked and served hot meals using donated fresh
ingredients to people accessing the foodbank. It was great to see the dIffe￿nCe this project made to people,
especially at a time of the year when it is particularly cold and dank outside.
This project serves as an example of the way we love to welcome people into the building and show kindness,
regardless of what service they are here to access. Everyone is welcomed into the Centre in what we hope will
be reflective of the love of Jesus and it continues to be a real honourto serwe our neighbours, the nation and
the nations in thi5 way.
Lifeshare
Notable points in the foodbank this year include-
l. Key statistics for the year April 2023 - March 2024-
We supported an average of 27 people each week via the foodbank
1,349 people fed with ourfood parcels (includes adults & children)
Page 4

Antioch Christian Centre
Year ending 315t March 2024
Chartty Number:1009954
9,329kgs of food given to people experiencing food povety
68 Christmas food parcels given alongside regular food parcels in Dec 2023. this equated to
187 people supported; a total of 777kgs of food given away.
2. There has been an increase in the number of 'self-referrals' who are not engaged with any referral
agency who identify as being in financial crisis.
3. A decrease in donations via Asda and Morrisons: this constitutes the majority of ourfood supply and
has resulted in the need to ptjrchase more food ourselves. Morrisons kindly invited u5 to hold a
foodbank drive in the entrance area of the store in December 2023. This generated many donations.
4. In De￿rnber 2023 we piloted a new way of supporting people on the approach to Christmas.
Previously agencies made referrals in advance for a Christmas Hamper, which resulted in 265 referrals
in December 2022-wonderful to help so many people but totally unsustainable! A decision was
made to offer a Christmas parcel alongside their usual food parcel for anyone visiting the foodbank
during December. This effectively spread the demand over the whole month and meant the recipients
were those most in need. In light of our reduced donations it also meantthe remainder of our stock
was not as depleted in January as tt may have been in previous years.
5. Collaborated with Coedcae School providing 18 students with the opportunityto pack Christmas food
parcels at Antioch Centre over a 2-week period.
6. Lifeshare received two grants totalling £4.LNXI from Carmarthenshire County Council.
7. There is a current team of 7 volunteers. Over the past 18 months the turnover of volunteers has
consisted of 6 new volunteers joining the team whilst 7 existing volunteers have moved on to other
opportunities. Also 2 former volunteers who had left returned to volunteer weekly.
8. We have also been able to offer 3 sixth fonn students from Coleg Sir Gar and Ysgol Y Strade the
opportunity to volunteer in the foodbank.
9. Facilitated specific events for foodbank volunteers:
Two'in-house. training and infomiation sessions
Wheelhouse
This has been our first full year since we opened in November 2019. April saw us still open on a Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. but at the end of April I reduced my days to Wednesday and Thursday as I was
finding three days too much for me. We had a regular group that used to come in on Tuesdays Iknit and
natter) who were very sad to see us close and I suspect would come back if we reopened. Despite losing a day
we continued to build a good clientele of both regulars. staff, and visitors.
During May we introduced the'weekly special,, which gave people the opportunity to purchase a full,
nutritious meal for £2.50- with the cost-of-living crisis this was very well received. This menu has expanded
to include a soup and roll for £1.50 and a variety of meals-and remains very popular.
The introduttion of El Edwards as centre manager in Ortobersaw an increase in business on a number of
fronts. She obtained two grants to cover some of our operating expenses as a wam) space, and also to
introduce fasty Tuesdays, where we worked togetherwith Foodbank to provide free meals to those in need
as a ten-week projett.
One of the great successes was the feeding of a family of stx for two successive weeks. But sadly, it wasn't a5
5ucce55ful as we hoped. The left-over meals have been added to the specials board.

The café itself has continued to grow (despite meals being cheaper) and we continue to welcome both the
FAN group every Tuesday and the Pulmonary group on the first Wednesday of the month. Added to this, the
increased activity throughout the centre means increased demands on the café.
There have also been booking5 {outside of the café) for people to hire the kitchen and café area. We had
another unannounced visit from Food Hygiene in Februarywhich we passed WFth flying colours, maintaining
our 5-5tar food hygiene ratin& and with no recommendations.
The factthat we re￿iVed this for the second time meansthat when we are next due an inspection, the
inspectors have the option to do a minimal assessment. which may not even require a visit (at their
discretion). This is very encouraging.
