Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The Church’s objects are: • The advancement of the Christian faith in the United Kingdom and overseas by any appropriate means as the Leadership Team in their absolute discretion shall determine. • To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Criccieth any exclusively charitable purpose in particular but not exclusively the relief of poverty, sickness and distress and the advancement of education as the Leadership Team in their absolute discretion shall determine.

Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	The Church has continued to hold services every Sunday, which have included preaching and Bible teaching, and a Sunday School was provided for children attending the morning service. Due to COVID-19, these services have been held virtually online (using video conferencing technology) rather than in-person in the church hall. In addition to the Sunday services, the church has held other activities and meetings which included prayer meetings, midweek Growth Groups, Adeiladu (women’s group), Bobol Bach (parents and toddlers), CC4G (youth activity club). Due to COVID-19, these meetings have also been held virtually online rather than in- person in the church hall or in homes. The exception was Bobol Bach which was able to meet in the church hall for a short period of time in the second half of 2020 when the Government guidelines allowed. Meal with a Message (luncheon club) was suspended due to COVID-19. The Church employed an apprentice worker, from August 2019 until August 2020, who assisted with leading youth and adults’ meetings and was provided with theological training. CFC continues to regularly support Mission Partners currently including those based in Wales, Papua New Guinea, Mali, France and Birmingham. Due to COVID-19, visits from these workers throughout the year was not possible, but video conferencing technology has been used to maintain communication with them.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The trustees have taken into account the Charities Commission’s guidance (PB1, PB2 and PB3) on public benefit. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set for the charity.

Policy on grant making	Para 1.38	The Church makes discretionary grants to individuals and institutions: • Our Mission Partners • People in financial hardship • Christian workers
Policy on social investment including program related investment	Para 1.38	The Church does not make social investments.

Contribution made by volunteers	Para 1.38	The Church’s activities are mainly run by volunteers who are Church members. Members give their unpaid time to teaching, youth and children’s work, cooking, stewarding and visiting the elderly, sick and needy (as COVID-19 restrictions allow). It is impossible to quantify, but it runs into many thousands of hours.
Other		The Church continues to operate a policy for safeguarding children, young people and adults at risk and update our practices regularly. We operate safe recruitment of workers and volunteers with children, young people and adults at risk, including taking up of references and DBS checks. We have trained new workers and monitored workers and volunteers and we work to guidelines and procedures - all of which are taken from “Working together to Safeguard Children and Working together to Safeguard People”

Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.
