We have accomplished this through our community projects and schools work, and, through our vibrant and thriving multigenerational church. This year has been busy and fruitful.

**CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **Achievements and Performance (Cont’d)** ## GSUS LIVE & YOUTH ALPHA In April and May we hosted two week of GSUS Live in Bishop Vaughan and Dylan Thomas Secondary Schools. GSUS Live is an interactive R.E lesson that explores the themes of fear, rejection & forgiveness. During the lesson pupils work on a tablet to help a character who is experiencing one of these issues. Pupils draw on stories from the life of Jesus and other historical characters to guide their responses, before each lesson ends with a Q&A session. These are always a highlight, as pupils express their thoughts and home in on issues and questions important to them. Matt, Beth & Bethan hosted the week in Bishop Vaughan, with Reverend Dr Jonathon Wright from St Peter’s Church Cockett joining them in Dylan Thomas. Across the two schools the lessons served over 750 pupils. Following GSUS Live, the team hosted a Youth Alpha lunchtime club in both schools. Youth Alpha is a video series which explores life’s ‘Big Questions’ of life, faith and meaning. Each week Matt, Beth & Bethan prepare quizzes, games and prizes to compliment the themes of the videos and kick-start discussion. In Bishop Vaughan Alpha served over 40 pupils during the summer and proceeding Autumn Term. In Dylan Thomas the clubs served 12 pupils for 8- weeks during the summer term. One of the highlights of Youth Alpha this year was the end of term ‘Summer Youth Night Takeaway’ & ‘Christmas Extravaganza’ - two interactive games-show quiz nights with snacks and prizes hosted at Cornerstone Church Centre with Cornerstone’s Youth. **11** **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **Achievements and Performance (Cont’d)** ## YOUTH & KID’S CLUB Cornerstone church’s young people age 11-16 meet together on Thursday nights for ‘Youth’. Alongside games, snacks and laughter, Youth provides a supportive space for the young people to explore the Christian faith and topics relevant to their age group, such as handling exam stress and other peer pressures. The young people particularly love the Youth trips throughout the year, whether for social time together or to join in with other Church Youth Group events. This year we’ve made trips to Barry Island for a beach day, Cardiff for Worship Nights with _The Message Wales_ and joined City Church Swansea for a Christmas Ball! Youth is hosted by Beth, Matt, Ffion and Sam. This year Youth has served 20 young people. Kid’s Club is a fun-filled after school club for children age 7-11 in Cornerstone Church. Run by Beth, and Tom & Naomi on a Thursday afternoon 4-5pm, with games, Bible stories, snacks and crafts. This year Kid’s Club has served 9 children. **12** **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **Achievements and Performance (Cont’d)** ## LITTLE RASCALS Little Rascals is a play group for pre-school children and their carers, held every Tuesday during term-time at our Penlan building. It is run by volunteers from Cornerstone. Here the children enjoy playing with a variety of toys that inspire their imagination, as well as engaging in a more structured story time, craft and songs. This provides them with opportunities to interact with others of the same age, equipping the children with much needed social skills for the future. The project also provides a space for the adults to connect with others in the same stage of life with coffee and a chat. 23 children came during the year and we played, talked and sang songs. We found that after the pandemic there has been a shift in provision locally and interest from parents/ carers towards more of an emphasis on sensory experiences for babies and toddlers. So we are looking at adapting what we do in response and will trial a shorter more interactive sensory and messy playtime with a view to launching a new parent and toddler group ‘Stay & Play’ in September 2023. **13** **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** Cornerstone Church’s main **objectives and activities** for the year continue to focus on outreach, training, teaching, pastoral care and working with other churches in the U.K. and overseas. ## **Achievements and performance** During 2022 we continued to meet our objectives, to serve the local church and the local community in Swansea, and serving the wider church across Wales to grow, develop and reach their communities too. In the first part of the year, we were still negotiating Covid restrictions. Up until Easter we still had to run a booking system for various events and services, then finally from May 2022 all Covid restrictions were dropped. We ran our usual activities of local church life during the year, including youth club, baptisms, ladies’ nights, men’s nights & football, Sunday school, student activities and Sunday services, plus our schools’ work and community projects. Our small group communities continued to thrive; designed for pastoral care, discipleship and building strong relationships across the church. It was another year of church growth and seeing new members join, and a continuation of seeing people healed from various sicknesses and conditions. Our livestreaming of Sundays and special events such as weddings and funerals continued, along with training the various teams and resourcing with new equipment. It was great to have full use of venue2 again after Covid, enjoying using our café space every month when we drew all our small groups together, and for special events and conferences. It proved to be an excellent resource and a great space to gather. We ran Alpha throughout the year. We met as a wider leadership team monthly for training and envisioning. It was a positive year for the church, with a fresh anticipation for gathering together after the Covid period, and new people coming along in person having watched services online. **14** **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **Achievements and Performance (Cont’d)** ## SOME 2022 HIGHLIGHTS On Sunday 5th June we celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with the rest of the U.K. hosting a “Big Sunday Lunch” at v2. This involved an indoor picnic in the café and breakout rooms, games and activities for the children, bouncy castle, ice-cream van and a Jubilee cake stall. The whole venue was full and everyone enjoyed. We served Wales with two conferences for New Wine Cymru. A national Leader’s Conference in June serving leaders and their teams from all over Wales. Then in October we ran a oneday conference, Women Who Lead, for women leaders and their teams. Both were well attended and Cornerstone volunteers did a great job of hosting both events. Other conferences in the year included Sarah Richards & Chloe Swart travelling to Stockholm to teach in the New Wine Sweden Leader’s Conference. Plus, Chloe contributed to the HTB Conference in London in May that was an online conference livestreamed all over the world, praying for healing. We ran a ‘Made to Last,’ preparation for marriage course in the Café area at venue2 during February and March. A film series recorded by Sarah & Julian Richards for couples approaching marriage or those wanting a refresher. It was well attended and appreciated by all. On Sat 9 July we ran an online safeguarding training for all Cornerstone children and youth workers simultaneously at both our buildings, Penlan and venue2. As a church we are deeply committed to safe practice for all the children, youth and vulnerable adults in our care. The event also provided some fun time to hang out as children’s workers. In both July and September we held baby dedications on a Sunday morning for parents and their guests. We were delighted to dedicate six more babies as the church continues to grow with young families. Also, in July we celebrated the wedding of Sam Day & Beth Sharpe, our student worker at v2. It was a day of joy and venue2 was full. In October, we ran a men’s weekend away, at St.Madoc camp, situated at the beautiful Llanmadoc beach, Gower. We also hosted a ladies weekend away at the Towers Hotel & Spa in Jersey Marine. Both events provided time for relationship and friendship as well as worship and teaching. Events like this continue to strengthen the community of the church. During December we ran many guest activities to draw together community contacts from the year and to host new friends. Events included hosting a ladies Christmas wreath making at our Penlan centre, for the first time, with mulled wine & mince pies. This event was packed with many guests enjoying the night and their first visit to Cornerstone. **15** **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **Achievements and Performance (Cont’d)** We held a Christmas party at the Towers for the church and their guests, enjoying a 2-course dinner & silent disco! We served the local community with two Christmas services. An evening service with a cava & canapés reception for guests and local councillors and contacts, and on Sun 18 Dec a family service for all the family. Throughout the year we continued to support our two local Foodshares in Penlan and Blaenymaes. At Christmas once again church members created Christmas hampers, and we also donated gift bags of a total Christmas roast dinner ingredients that were delivered to Blaenymaes Foodshare. In January the first Sunday fell on New Year’s Day so we kicked off 2023 with cheese toasties in the café at 3pm and children’s games and activities in the main hall, followed by our first service of the year. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## STAFF & VOLUNTEERS Once again, the church ran with the commitment and enthusiasm of so many volunteers. As a leadership team, we are deeply grateful for the unwavering commitment and sacrifice of all our staff and volunteers who make leading a healthy thriving church possible. Thank you for your continued passion, hard work and devotion. **16** **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **Financial Review** The charity’s balance sheet shows a satisfactory position with Unrestricted Funds totalling £1,163,342 and Restricted Funds totalling £28,285. Incoming resources during the year were £275,759 of which £29,375 was restricted. The resources expended during the year totalled £ 300,485 of which £285,182 was spent on direct charitable objectives, £15,303 was spent on support costs. This has resulted in net outgoing resources of £24,726. The Leadership and Trustees monitor financial activity closely to ensure that expenditure and budgets relate to income. Regular giving and use of the gift-aid scheme by Church Members is essential for the Church to continue at its present level of ministry and to develop in the mid-tolong term. We continue to monitor our income carefully. Our regular giving and offerings and other donations were steady. As expected we used some of our Planned Strategic Spend reserves in order to help fulfill our strategic plan in the medium term. This year we continued to raise money for Foodshare. ## **Principal Funding Sources** The principal funding sources for the charity are:Cornerstone Church Members Other private donors ## **Investment Policy** The Trustees have generally operated a policy of keeping available surplus funds in interest bearing deposit accounts. ## **Reserves Policy** The designated Capital Asset Fund is £994,487, this represent the value of reserves spent on tangible fixed assets. The Planned Strategic Spend is £50,000 and represents funds to be able to meet the strategic plan in the medium term as well as to help absorb the impact of escalating utility bills. Planned Capital Project reserves represent funds to be used to meet future capital spend. Community Project Funds of £3,527 are designated for use in costs related to projects. Reach Funds are designated funds to reach needs around the world of poverty and injustice and total £976. There are designated funds for Cornerstone Church Swansea Future Running Costs of £89,000. The Trustees feel the ideal designated future running costs in unrestricted funds would be at a level, which equates to 4 months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The Trustees consider that this level of reserves will provide sufficient funds for implementation of a contingency plan in the event of a significant drop in income. This year we are at this reserve level. This policy is kept under regular review. **17** **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **Plans for Future Periods** ## Cornerstone will: - Continue to develop work with churches nationally and internationally. - Continue to raise volunteers, ministries and resources for ongoing expansion of Cornerstone’s activities. - Complete ongoing phases of the development of our venue2 building, Morriston in order to further expand the work of Cornerstone. **18** **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **Reference and Administrative Information** **Charity Name:** Cornerstone Church Swansea **Charity Registration Number** : 1126582 **Company Registration Number:** 6653010 **Registered Office and Operational Address:** Cornerstone Church 32 Mynydd Newydd Road Penlan Swansea SA5 5AE Telephone: (01792) 516031 Email: info@cornerstonechurch.co.uk Web: www.cornerstonechurch.co.uk **Trustees:** Tamsin Pece (Chair) Robert Bowen (Company Secretary) (retired 13/07/23) Adam Day Andrew Harvey Suzanne Brown Hannah Jones ## **Chief Executive Officer:** Sarah Richards **Accountants:** Bevan Buckland LPP Chartered Accountants Ground Floor Cardigan House Llansamlet Swansea SA7 9LZ **Bankers:** Lloyds Oxford Street Swansea SA1 3AF **Solicitors:** Mayo Wynne Baxter 20 Gilredge Road Eastbourne East Sussex BN21 4RP Approved by order of the board of trustees on ………………………………………. and signed on its behalf by: …………………………………………… Mrs J T Pece **19** **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** ## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Cornerstone Church (Swansea)** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 January 2023. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law)you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirement of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Mrs J T Pece DATE............................................... 23 ## **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **a** ## **Accounting Convention** The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charity SORP (FRS 102), 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## **b** ## **Financial reporting standard 102-reduced disclosure exemptions** The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': -the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. ## **c** ## **Fund Accounting** General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. The Designated funds are held as a contingency fund, to cover future running costs. The amount is based on costs incurred for six months. ## **d Incoming Resources** All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - Voluntary income is received by way of donations and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. - Investment income and rental income are included when receivable - Incoming resources from grants when related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance ## **e Resources Expended** Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred, including irrecoverable VAT. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities, both costs directly attributable and indirect support costs. 24 **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **(Resources Expended continued)** Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements, principally accounting/audit and AGM expenses. Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of expenditure to which it relates. ## **f Fixed Assets** Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation has been computed to write off the cost of the tangible fixed assets over the expected useful lives using the following rate:- Furniture & Equipment 25% Reducing Balance Motor Vehicle 25% Reducing Balance Property 2% Straight Line Assets below £2,500 are not capitalised, but included within expenses. ## **g Pensions** The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in th period to which they relate. ## **h Financial instruments** The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## **i Basic financial assets** Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised ## **j Debtors** Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. ## **k Cash at bank and in hand** 25 **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** ## **l Impairment of financial assets** Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss ## **m Basic financial liabilities** Basic financial liabilities, including creditors,that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## **n Creditors** Short term creditors are measured at transaction price. ## **o Provision for liabilities** Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal and constructive) from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. ## **p Functional and Presentation Currency** The company's functional and presentation currency is pounds sterling. ## **q Going Concern** The company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 26 ## **CORNERSTONE CHURCH SWANSEA** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023** |**2**
