Summary	of	the	main activities			The circuit produced a quarterly preaching plan to ensure regular acts

benefit in	relation			to these		Ecumenical Partnerships in its geographical area. These are open to all
objects						people, without charge. The circuit supports the Open the Book
						initiative in local primary schools and is actively involved with
						ecumenical partners in teams serving schools in Buckley and
						Penyffordd. Most ofthe churches make their church halls available to
						their local communities as a resource, and we also host coffee mornings
						and luncheon-clubs, which are been a much-valued meeting place for
						people from the wider community. Many churches collect for the local
						foodbank and one church acts as a distribution point. One church also
						collects items for SHARE (refugees and asylum seekers) and SPIN (the
						homeless). A number ofthe churches support the T4U shoe box
						appeal with one ofthe churches acting as a collection point for the
						charity. A variety ofother charities are supported by the efforts of
						individual churches. We confirm that the trustees have had regard to
						the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
D.Achievements				and performance
Summary	of	thh	main			The circuit exists to resource and support its 11churches in their
achievements		of	the charity			mission to the communities in which they are situated. The
during the	year					availability ofaccredited preachers to resource the Sunday services
						throughout the circuit does not meet demand and remains a
						challenge for the circuit staff. During this year the activities ofthe
						churches have continued to be affected by coronavirus precautions
						and restrictions. Face-to-face worship has been maintained but

			worship has also been facilitated through weekly worship sheets
			distributed to members and friends by mail and e-mail. Work with
			children and families in two ofthe churches has been maintained
			through 'zoom' activities.
