TRINITY METHODIST AND UNITED REFORMED CHURCH, PORTHCAWL. ANNUAL RETURN TO THE CHARITY COMMISSION FOR THE YEAR ENDING AUGUST 2022 TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT Registered charity name Trinity Methodist and United Reformed Church Charity registration number 1127819 Trinity Methodist Church, John Street, Porthcawl CF36 3DT Principal office Structure, governance and management The trustees who served during the year are set out on the first page of The Methodist Church Standard Form of Accounts which are attached to this report. Objectives and activities In accordance with the foundational documents of the Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church. Our purposes are the advancement of: a) The Christian Faith as understood by the Methodist Church and United Reformed Church. b) Any charitable purpose for the time being of any denominational, local or any other organisational level of the Methodist Church or the United Reformed Church. c) Any charitable purpose for the time being of any society or institution subsidiary or ancillary to the Methodist Church or the United Reformed Church d) Any purpose for the time being of any charity being a charity subsidiary or ancillary to the Methodist Church or the United Reformed Church. In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. Achievements and performance The year has seen a gradual return to a full range of church activities, though with reduced numbers attending which are only slowly approaching previous levels. This has had an impact on our income, both through reduced freewill offerings during worship and the smaller number of hirers of the premises. Both of these factors are being addressed in our regular Church Council meetings and the meetings of the Finance and Property Committee. Sunday worship services have been held every week with a monthly morning and evening Communion Service for an average of 55 attendees. Those unable to attend are offered the
opportunity to view the morning services live via Zoom for those who are not able to attend in person, and an edited version of the service is available after the event. The membership stands at 128. Members are kept in touch with Church News through the quarterly In Touch magazine and all members and adherents are visited in order to pass this on. The Pastoral Team also ensure that members are visited in times of particular need. Activities There continues to be a great deal of contact with the local community though the shop, which is open at least three days a week, through Saturday snacks and through special events. We have a close relationship with Trinity Care and Support which hire our premises. A team from Trinity holds a monthly Communion Service in the local Dan-y-graig Care Home. Our members have been very active in supporting Methodist and U.R.C. charities as well as other appeals in the areas of relief, development and well-being. The Church is an active member of Churches Together in Porthcawl, which in the process of building up a fuller programme of events. Challenges for the coming year include building up attendance at regular meetings, adopting new patterns of working as part of the Bridgend United Area, with new ministerial staff members, and bearing a larger proportion of the Area costs following the reduction from eight to seven churches. Financial review The unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022 are shown in the attached Standard Form of Accounts. The accounts show a deficit for the year of £30,158 which has been funded by our reserves. The Finance Committee has drawn up an action plan aimed at increasing our income and making cost savings where possible with the objective of returning the charity to a surplus position as soon as possible.
