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 in-person in
the church hall and with simultaneous online video
conferencing technology for those not able to be in the
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 been held virtually online and/or in-person in the
church hall or in homes, as Government guidelines
allowed. Meal with a Message (luncheon club) was
suspended due to COVID-19.
The Church employed a Summer placement worker in
July and August 2021, who assisted with leading youth
and adults’ meetings. Further, the church has employed
a ‘consultant’ Pastor on a part time basis to support the
Leadership team.
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
•
Charitable causes (eg for Ukraine)
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

SORP reference
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.		 Para 1.20 Public benefit has been provided through
the teaching of the Christian faith,
mentoring of adults and children and
engagement in the services highlighted
above.
In addition to the spiritual and eternal
benefit of such teaching and mentoring, the
core principles at the heart of the Christian
faith should, when implemented, lead to
constructive and progressive engagement
of those mentored with the wider
community.
