LAMPETER CHRISTIAN CENTRE/CANOLFAN GRISTNOGOL LLANBED YR HEDYN MWSTARD
’ - TRUSTEES REPORT 2024 2025
1. The Objectives
-
(1) The advancement of the Christian Faith in accordance with the statement of Doctrines in the Trust Schedule and, in particular, by the provision of Christian literature in various media.
-
(2) The promotion of any other charitable purpose the benefit of the community of Mid and West Wales by the advancement of education, the protection of health and the relief of poverty and sickness as an expression of the Christian Faith.
2. Strategies, Activities and Achievements in view of these Objectives
The Centre has striven to keep the above objectives in mind as it has worked through the year. The general pattern is as follows:
-
the Centre is open five days a week, closed on Sundays and Mondays, as the footfall on Mondays was much lower that Wednesdays, traditionally the other day we were closed and traditionally a half-day shopping closure in Lampeter (the Church Ladies’ Meeting is now held there on Monday mornings too instead of Wednesday mornings); this change – closing on Mondays and opening on Wednesdays – has continued to be most beneficial to the Centre as it has continued to be much busier; opening hours are between 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m.; the staff always pray together before opening and after closing
-
generally the footfall has quite substantially increase this last year and this has been most pleasing and encouraging; as before, from time to time we catered for groups/parties who arranged to come for lunch or tea on special occasions such as birthdays; we also catered for weddings, funeral teas and for special day and evening events; we were very busy in 2024 again with Christmas Dinners
-
the Christian Bookstall and the Cwtsh (the area where a variety of other materials are available) have continued to be the focus of many visits, enquiries and sales; this service continues to be enhanced by the substantial second-hand Christian books’ service located on separate shelving; (sales from these areas during the last year have been steady throughout)
-
we provide a free Wi-Fi service to customers
-
again as a result of the building of a church next door, Lampeter Evangelical Church, advantages have accrued to both the church and the Centre as they continue to liaise well together – services at the church are followed by our opening the Centre so that people may have further more informal fellowship together and this has proved to be very popular; the completion of the church building means that the
accommodation on the first floor of the building has been refurbished – one flat continues to be occupied and another part of the accommodation is provided for members of the church who have returned from the mission field in Kenya to live in Lampeter for some time – they are providing voluntary help to the church and the Centre; though the Church and the Centre are two independent charities, many of the church’s trustees are also trustees of The Lampeter Christian Centre; a legal agreement has been drawn up by means of which access from one entity to the other is acknowledged, in order to facilitate co-operation in promoting the Gospel in the town and community; the new large patio built at the back of both properties in 2020-2021 has continues to be a worthwhile investment and a distinct improvement on the precious smaller patio, new furniture was purchased and all this has been much used and appreciated by clientele
-
the Centre continues to be regularly used by a variety of groups or societies during the daytime e.g. a Knitting Group supported by Lampeter Evangelical Church has been meeting every month to provide for those in need, Reading Group, Knits and Natters, Sewing Group, a Chess Club, Multiple Sclerosis Group, Ramblers’ Association, men’s group, a women’s group and Bible Study groups
-
the Centre is used from time to time in the evening, outside of ordinary hours e.g. various groups who ask for food to be served, training and professional development events, cookery demonstrations etc.; alas, the University in Lampeter has closed its campus, so the number of students involved with The Mustard Seed has declined; however, there are designs by the Local Authority to establish the campus as a Centre for Vocational Education, so we might well benefit from this development
-
staffing: there are still a good number of volunteers, including some with special needs, who contribute substantially to the workforce, but there are also a number of individuals who are paid for their services: we now employ a number of nearly full-time employees as well as other part-time individuals; five of the staff are currently on the payroll
-
procedures for the safekeeping of foodstuff etc. are carefully adhered to, and the Centre has already received many different awards for its standards of food and hygiene; we are glad to report that this last year the previous grade 4 was improved to the top grade, a grade 5
-
the Centre is closed for an extended period of time only between Christmas and the New Year, usually for approximately ten days; a general cleaning and maintenance programme is undertaken at this time; this is apart from the ongoing maintenance that arises as necessary from time to time; the general décor is important to maintain and is well respected (all areas over the last few years have been refurbished); this has led to further improvements and the general ambience of the Centre is much appreciated by customers
-
we try to maintain the building to the highest standards possible: there have been many improvements to certain aspects of its fabric during the year – this has actually been helped by the building of the church next door - and all the necessary repairs have been carried out promptly
-
the Trustees confer and plan with one another and once a year hold an A.G.M. (the last one was held in February 2025 and we envisage holding our next one early in the New Year); minutes of these meetings are kept; the meetings keep eyes focussed on strategy (in line with the objectives) as well as giving attention to the operational everyday matters; the Trustees also over many years met monthly for Prayer Meetings before Covid - the disruption caused by Covid however means that these have not yet managed to be reconvened
-
from time to time consideration is focussed on giving to charities, whether they be local good causes or known international Christian organisations , or even individual Christians or people in need (e.g. we provide support for one child’s educational needs in a third world country through a Christian Charity, Compassion); our financial position continues to be generally sound and indeed has continued to be more encouraging in 2024-2025; though meeting the increases in the Basic Wage and National Insurance have brought some challenges, we seem to be coping very well
-
in January 2017 we came on-stream with regard to workplace pensions enrolment; four members of staff continue to be on this scheme
-
we are members of the Lampeter Chamber of Trade and get involved in all the various community events that they arrange throughout the year; this has allowed us to contribute and play our part fully this year again in the local community; meetings are held on a monthly basis
-
the Centre works entirely bilingually, through the use of both Welsh and English languages.
3. Future Plans
Several issues have been discussed and will continue to need further attention again this year:
-
we still continue to ponder whether we should appoint a manager (from amongst our full-time/nearly full-time employees) who would further our attempts to meet the objectives delineated in our Charity Deed document; we have already given further responsibilities to some of those individuals in order to relieve Trustees and to make fuller use of employees’ varied skills; we continue to need a succession plan however and one substantial step in that direction has been the election of a new, younger Treasurer this year
-
there would be an advantage in increasing again the number of Trustees, although there are six Trustees at present – such an increase would further complement the skills and experience of the existing Board of Trustees
-
the enhancement of Christian counselling and support
-
continually improving the premises by means of further developments and possible light refurbishments, renewal of equipment and the use of further strategies to reach out to people in the community; the standing of The Mustard Seed we feel has been enhanced by the building of the church next door and we are often visited by groups who want special teas provided along with a guided tour of the church ; we are confident that this will be a continuing element into the future.
4. Finances
Great care is taken with accounts, but naturally finances – as suggested from the above arrangements and activities – are used to further the Centre’s objectives. The following comments need to be noted:
-
regular use is made of a professional accountant to help with the Centre’s financial obligations
-
payment is made each year for the Centre’s accounts to be audited
-
- the Treasurer regularly liaises with the accountant and trustees and matters are discussed openly and thoroughly
-
we have a well-established website
-
our card facility (debit and credit cards) introduced some years ago has undoubtedly enhanced the service provided by the Centre
-
sums of money are sent to Christian charities and individuals every year, at local, national and international levels, including missionary work, as noted above.
5. Conclusion
In view of the above, the Trustees would like to express their gratitude to the Officers of Lampeter Christian Centre for their faithful adherence to the terms of the Trust.
We are encouraged that the Centre continues to flourish and meets its responsibilities to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the local community whilst also facilitating local and world-wide missionary movements and associations, charity groups and support for individuals. We are satisfied that the accounts have been kept to the highest standard and that all transactions have been carried out with the utmost integrity. Money has been prudently used to pursue effectively, efficiently and successfully the Centre’s stated objectives.
We trust that the Centre will continue to know much blessing in the future and are very happy to endorse the vision that we as Trustees have to continue the strengthening of the cause of Jesus Christ.
Signed on behalf of the Trustees:
Mr. T. Gareth Jones (Chair of Trustees)

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)
Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
| Recognition of income Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. |

| 2.4 ASSETS Intangible fixed assets Heritage assets Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at Stocks and work in progress Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. They are valued at cost. Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. p p g g y benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Investment gains and losses The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. They are valued at cost. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments |
