Llanishen Baptist Church (LBC) provides religious services for all age groups every Sunday. House groups are held during the week. LBC also hosted Churches Together prayer link meetings on a rotational basis. We operate a Facebook page aimed at encouraging people in the Llanishen area to attend our services and outreach events. LBC offers a number of activities for the benefit of the local community. These include Open Doors, which runs on Wednesdays and offers a warm, welcoming space and companionship, particularly for those who are retired, lonely or bereaved. Open Doors is free to attend. Happy Days Toddler Group takes place every Thursday during term time. Attendance at these sessions attract a small fee to cover the cost of refreshments. On Fridays, everyone is welcome at our Arts and Crafts club, where crafters meet to enjoy a chat over various art projects. Arts and Crafts is free to attend, and offers another opportunity for people to meet, chat and enjoy completing a craft project. We ran a highly successful Christian Aid sale in May, raising over £1,000 for the charity. We also ran a MacMillan coffee morning during an Open Doors session. We invited the local primary school to visit and learn more about the Nativity during the Christmas term and held an all-age service on Remembrance Sunday to which local uniformed organisations were invited. A Christmas toys and toiletries service was held for donations to Women’s Aid and Barnardo’s. Our Harvest Festival provided an opportunity to bring food donations for the Rainbow of Hope charity, which seeks to help the homeless, people experiencing food poverty and refugees. A coach trip ran to Bourton on the Water for the church family, Open Doors and Arts and Crafts attendees and the wider community. We continued to support various local and Christian charities throughout the year, including regular donations to Rainbow of Hope, promoting Christian Aid Week, and highlighting the work of BMS World Vision and the Slavic Gospel Association during our Sunday services. LBC lets out its premises to uniformed and non-unformed organisations and groups. These include, but are not restricted to, a breakfast and after-school club, Brownies, Scouts, Cubs, National Childbirth Trust, a Romanian school, drama and martial arts classes, an autism charity, an arts class, an Indian Heritage group and the Local Education Authority. The premises can also be hired on a one-off basis, for example for birthday parties and training events. The charity has a diaconate that oversees day-to-day running of the church. The diaconate is assisted by approximately 20 volunteers who assist with the running of religious services, hall rentals, cleaning, building maintenance, house groups, toddler group, arts and crafts group and Open Doors. As detailed in the summary of activities shown above, the Church has successfully achieved the provision of religious services according to the Baptist faith to all ages and has met the needs for wellbeing of the wider community on a non-religious, inclusive basis. LBC's primary comes from giving/donations, some of which is eligible for Gift Aid; rental fees for the hire of rooms / halls in the church; bequests and donations, and rental income from two domestic properties owned by LBC. In 2025, its income was greater than its outgoings. This increase was due to a number of factors. Since July 2023 LBC has been without a full-time minister, reducing salary costs, National Insurance and pension costs to zero. The Manse, normally occupied by a minister, was rented out between January and August 2025. The additional income and reduced expenditure allowed LBC to make much-needed improvements to the building. This included making accessibility improvements to the lower hall toilets and fitting a new kitchen in the vestry. New flooring was laid and redecorating took place in some parts of the building. These improvements maintained the building and make it more attractive to potential hirers.
