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. As a legacy of
COVID-19 procedures, 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), Panad a chacen (cuppa and cake
afternoon). These meetings have been held in the
church hall or in homes.
The Church has had no employed / paid staff during this
period.
CFC continues to regularly support Mission Partners,
including those based in Wales, Papua New Guinea,
Mali and Birmingham. There have been visits to the
church from some of these Mission Partners throughout
the year. Video conferencing technology and email has
also 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

Our Mission Partners

People in financial hardship

Policy on social

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. 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.		 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.
