## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** 



You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: 

- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; 

- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; 

- relationship with any related parties; 

- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. 

- The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees  but  in  so  doing  the  trustees  seek  the  views  and recommendations of both elders and deacons. 

- In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify members of the church  who  are  willing  to  volunteer  their  time  and  effort. Potential trustees are invited to attend trustees’ meetings as observers and are given more details of the charity’s aims and activities  and,  if  all  agree,  they  are  then  proposed  as  new trustees  at  the  subsequent  trustees’  meeting.  The  process allows  due  consideration  of  the  person’s  eligibility,  personal competence and specialist knowledge/skills. 

- Following  appointment,  new  trustees  are  introduced  to  their new role and given copies of the trust deed and a guide to the policies and procedures adopted by our charity. Several publications  from  the  Charity  Commission  are  also  provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit and on the advancement of religion for the public benefit. This ensures that new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. 

- The trustees have assessed the risks the charity faces and keep these risks under review. An annual health and safety check is carried out looking at the activities and premises of the church and all employees and members working with children have current Disclosure and Barring Service checks and Child Protection training as part of our Child Protection Policy. 

## **Section C                    Objectives and activities** 

**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** 

The objects of the Church for the public benefit are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs appearing in the Schedule hereto in Swansea and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church may from time to time think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the Church. 



**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

The church is committed to engaging with the community with the message of Jesus Christ. We use our building to provide a wide range of activities to benefit the community.  To facilitate this community work, we look after and maintain our councilowned building. Our activities as a charity take account of the Commission’s  guidance  on  public  benefit  and  the  specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We seek to know God more in our lives through prayer, praise, reading and applying God’s Word (the Bible) and to see people come to faith in Jesus Christ and to know Him more in their lives. 

The church buildings provide many activities of benefit to the public. In addition to our regular Sunday services and weekly prayer meeting and Bible study, we also have a weekly club for children from Reception to Year 6 and a bi-weekly youth club open to children from Year 6 to Year 13. The church provides English classes to the community which are taught by one of our church members, for which a free crèche is provided by the church. A toddler group runs once a week and is open to all children and their carers from the community. 

## **Looking back over the year (April 2020-March 2021)** 

During the past year, the work of the **Kids’ club** … It was a privilege and a blessing over the Christmas period to deliver a small gift to each of the families we have reached through this work and to tell them we haven’t forgotten them in the current situation. 

## **Townhill Toddlers** … 

The **Friday Youth group** has continued to meet virtually using zoom.  This has involved online games and activities, video clips and a short Bible based gospel talk.  The attendance by church youth has been good. The youth have enjoyed and have told us that at times they felt that God has spoken to them through the Bible based talks and testimonies of leaders.  We continue to pray for them individually - that they will be saved and for them to grow in their knowledge and love for Christ.  Non-church youth have attended these meetings which has been encouraging but that has been more infrequent and has come as a result of personal invitation.  It is our prayer that these youth  and  others  from  the  community  will  re-join  us  when restrictions are lifted more fully.  As restrictions ease we will make a full risk assessment and seek to meet again in person. 

In February 2020, we started the **Good News group** , a monthly inclusive service for adults with additional needs. We held two meetings, attended by a total of seven adults with additional needs before lockdown. We have maintained contact with some of these adults during lockdown. 

As a church, we seek to be positive about disability inclusion. We are linked to the **Roofbreaker** project run by the Christian 



disability  charity **‘Through  the  Roof’** whose  main  aim  is 'transforming lives through Jesus with disabled people'. Kerry and Phil Tamlyn are the church **Roofbreaker** contacts, seeking to  be  available  to  discuss  any  disability  issues  and  find solutions.  For  example,  a  boy  with  additional  needs  was struggling to cope with Sunday school classes: a new rota was set  up  to  provide  1:1  support  and  a  withdrawal  area  with beanbag/sensory  tools.  As  a  result,  he  began  to  positively engage with Sunday school classes again. 

During  lockdown,  Kerry  and  Phil  attended  zoom  events  with **Roofbreakers** from around the UK discussing how church can effectively  support  people  with  disabilities  during/after  the pandemic. We hope to resume our Good News Group where people can connect with each other over cake, listen to a simple accessible message about Jesus and join in inclusive worship. The church has been added to an online map on the Through the Roof website so that disabled people looking for a church are able to find us and make contact about their needs if they would like to visit/attend. 

During the last year, the pandemic restrictions have severely curtailed meetings and events at the church building with the **Men’s  breakfast** suspended  until  things  improve.  However, our **Community  Worker** with  support  from  other  church members has been continually active in the community providing support through: 

- Weekly shopping for people who are isolating or infirm 

- Delivering emergency food parcels 

- Collecting medications for people 

- Welfare calls and socially distanced visits to those in need and isolated. 

- Welfare telephone calls 

- Collecting food donations and delivering for the foodbanks. 

Over and above these activities we have continued to develop relationships within the community and with groups looking to support those in need. Through our connection with a local food share scheme, we have begun to collect surplus food from two supermarkets locally along with a bakery and redistribute this food  to  families  in  need,  in  doing  so  we  have  ensured  our compliance with all relevant food safety legislation. This work has been particularly needed and rewarding. We have reached many families in need and continue to support most of them. 

Anne Rees has been greatly encouraged with the progress of all the students in **English lessons** despite not being able to meet at the church. Lessons have been conducted on a one-to-one basis  over  the  telephone.  This  has  proved  to  be  far  more effective than teaching them together, considering their varying degrees of ability. Some have opted for audio only, while others have enjoyed Facetime. Either way has been successful. 

The **Ladies’ Bible Study** has taken place on Zoom on a weekly basis, which has catered for a small number of ladies, which is understandable as it is during the day when many ladies are at 



work. The ladies that attend find it helpful, particularly as it includes a time to pray for one another and share our personal issues and encouragements, which in turn edify and build us up in the faith. 

This **Youth  Bible  Study** is  held  fortnightly  using  Zoom  is attended by the youth of the church, although it is open to all interested youngsters. The youth find it difficult to engage on and we look forward to being able to meet again in person. Nevertheless, the young people have continued to come which is positive. 

## **The church building** 

The church carried out a much-needed upgrade to the audiovisual system in the church building and this has been a great help as we’ve emerged from the pandemic restrictions and are now  able  to  hold  hybrid  events  with  people  in  the  church building and simultaneously taking part on Zoom or watching on YouTube. As we hope to return to some kind of normality, we seek new organisations who are compatible with our aims and who would like to hire our building thus extending our services to the Townhill community. 

## **Missionaries supported** 

We are very grateful to God that we can share in the work of the missionaries we support by prayer, email communication and finance. 

We  continue  to  support  a  range  of  missionaries  and  their organisations  during  this  year  through  prayer  and  financial support.  We  receive  regular  newsletters  from  most  of  them. Much of the work has been constrained by pandemic restrictions,  but  the  work  of  these  dedicated  people  has continued in a significant measure. 

In addition to the newsletters, we were greatly encouraged by our  Zoom  visit  from  our  Romanian  missionary,  which  was greatly enjoyed by us all. 

This has inspired us to invite other missionaries to join us on Zoom,  and  it  is  really  pleasing  to  know  that  most  have accepted, for which we thank God. It is thrilling to anticipate talking to someone we can see and communicate with, whom we have been supporting for years. 

Two  of  our  missionaries  have  very  recently  finished  serving overseas. We look forward to catching up and finding out what new path God will be leading them on, having faithfully led them this far. 



## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

Much of the work in our church is carried out on a voluntary basis. We give thanks to God that he has provided many gifted people to work in the church and we continue in prayer for more workers. 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 



Section D                      Achievements and performance 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

- The church currently has 22 members and between 20 and 50 people regularly come to our Sunday Services including children from the community. A core group of 20 children come to our children’s club each week, 8-15 teenagers enjoy the youth club and between 10 and 20 children come to Townhill Toddlers. 

- Once again this year we enjoyed our **Christmas special ‘Carols,  Candles  and  Cakes’** .  Some  people  from  the community  joined  us  in  singing  carols  and  hearing  the Christmas  story.  It  was  a  relaxed  event  for  families  and friends of the church. 

- For **St David’s Day** we had an evening quiz event. This was attended by people from the church and community, as well as having some youngsters too. We were able to look back and  see  how  good  God  has  been  through  the  history  of Wales and of St David. 

- We had a great **evening event for Harvest** this year. This was attended by people young and old. We enjoyed some snacks together and had a quiz about food. We thanked God for all that we have. We also heard about the local food bank and donated food gifts to this great cause. 

- We had **two fun days this year** , both were attended by families from the community, most of which have returned time and time again. It was good to see some children now growing up that have come through clubs of the church. We had many craft stalls, game stalls, a bouncy castle and face painting.  Sweets  and  prizes  were  awarded  to  the  best colouring and for guessing ‘how many sweets in the jar’. 

- It has been a busy but good year for our outreach events. We have seen families return and have gained new friends in the community too. We pray that we can continue to serve the  community  in  this  way  and  find  new  ways  to  reach people as we move into the next year and hopefully out of lockdown. 

- Anne Rees continues to teach English Classes. 

- The church has continued to implement its Child Protection Policy and all those working with children have up to date DBS checks and receive training from the Churches’ Child Protection Advisory Service (CCPAS) in Child Protection. 

## **Section E                    Financial review** 



## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

- Overall, the church  posted a small surplus this year (our receipts exceeded our payments by £744). 

- Our Special Reserve is set at half our annual spending, so for the new 2020/2021 financial year it will be set to £27,500. This is for real emergencies e.g. significant building repairs, loss of ongoing donations if a number of members were to leave at the same time, or if there was a significant change in financial circumstances of several members. By maintaining this reserve, the church can continue its work for some time whilst dealing with serious financial pressures such as these. When we spend part of the special reserve we need to set the budget in following years to restore it. 

- Our General Reserve for the coming year will begin at around £36,450. The General Reserve funds such things as maintaining the manse, the minibus, the church laptop, the dishwasher, church chairs and the church projector. 

- The reserves of the church mean that the church doesn’t face a crisis if there’s a major expense such as replacing the heating system or the church roof, and also provides funds to take advantage of short-term opportunities. 

- As in previous years, we will also maintain at least £2000 in our current account to ensure we are always in credit. 

## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

Not applicable. 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. 

- The church has seen a significant fall in regular donations compared to last year. Gift Aided donations are unchanged in the 2019/2020 financial year, but donations made to the collection box have fallen again this year, this time by about £1850. We continue to be able to claim tax back on donations received in the collection box via the government ‘Gift Aid on Small Donations’ scheme which amounted to £7647.31 last year. 

- We have not received any income from hiring the church building or the manse this year. The rent for the manse is usually about £4000 p.a. 

- We received a small amount of money this year from the sale of the old minibus. 

- Low  interest  rates  continue  but,  due  to  higher  balances, interest received on bank balances is slightly higher than the previous year. Interest rates are currently expected to remain low. 

- The church has received no grants this year. If anyone knows of  any  potential  grants  we  can  apply  for,  please  contact Sarah Bunce. 

- We continue to employ our **Community Worker** who has used his initiative well to  engage with the community  as detailed above. 



**Section F                     Other optional information** 

The COVID-19 pandemic presented previously unknown challenges.  It was the first time in 8 centuries that government had ordered all churches to close.  In our case, rising concern about rapidly increasing numbers of cases locally and about mass gatherings in unventilated indoor settings had led us to suspend all face to face gatherings from 16.3.2020, a week before we were required to do so, and to replace Sunday morning and evening services, Wednesday evening prayer meetings, and some other meetings including some youth activities with online meetings.  For those unable to join in an online meeting we arranged phone calls so that the audio of the meeting could be relayed to them.  Sermons continued to be recorded and made available on Youtube but also streamed live to widen participation as much as possible.  We closed before being forced to both to protect the physical health of those attending and to avoid the church being, and being seen to be, a risk to the community around us.  Our witness and service to the community around the church is its prime purpose.  We knew that being unable to conduct this in person would be a loss, but did could not risk that witness being tainted by a sense that we were being irresponsible to the very community we serve. 

The online services were effective for collective worship and for hearing sermons, but after some months of meeting online we knew that we had been missing the informal face to face contact we had been used to after each service.  We began randomly allocated breakout groups after each Sunday morning service.  These informal groups proved helpful for many people  for  sharing  joys  and  needs  and  for  reflecting  on  what  we  had  learnt  and  been challenged by in the service and in our own lives and have been an important means of mutual support. 

During the summer of 2020, after the prohibition on in-person meeting had been lifted, we worked to consider how we could safely reopen to meet at the church building.  Under the updated guidance, the church itself is responsible for ensuring that meetings can be held safely, including that there is checking in for contact tracing, hand hygiene, social distancing, ventilation,  and  information  for  anyone  attending  to  support  their  compliance  with  these requirements.  Our small building had typically been close to full on a Sunday morning before the pandemic, so we knew that we would have to limit numbers of attendees and take a lot of care with distancing.  We also knew at this stage that those who most needed to attend - those whose ability to join online had been most limited - were also those at most risk of serious illness were they to contract COVID-19. 

We planned to reopen for a few people to attend the church and link into online meetings from the start of September 2020, and a small number met at the church building to join an online mid-week meeting.  Within days, it was clear that local case numbers were again rising rapidly and that we should suspend plans to reopen until things were more clearly safe.  This one midweek meeting, as well as reminding us that we were not in control of the timing of the pandemic or of its effects, also taught us that to run effective hybrid meetings where some people were in the church and others were online would need better technology than we had. Having explored some options we decided to use the building's extended closure to replace the existing PA system with one that would support videoconferencing and filming for any permutation of in person and hybrid meetings, including live streaming of preaching from the church building as well as preaching being streamed from elsewhere into the building.  We hoped that this system would support a wider range of opportunities for collective worship and witness as soon as restrictions began to lift and, God willing, far into the future. 



The subsequent phase of the pandemic was more prolonged than we hoped.  It remained permissible for churches to open and we were aware that some, with much larger buildings and more room to distance, did so.  We decided that we should only reopen for worship when there was less risk of transmission and when we could offer hybrid meetings online & in person.  We did this for Sunday morning services only from 11.4.2021 and have negotiated some  teething  problems  to  continue  until  now,  subject  to  restrictions  on  numbers  and distancing, with no live singing to date and with generous ventilation.  We hope to explore restarting singing depending on ongoing risk assessment.  Meanwhile, in line with changing guidance and subject to risk assessment, we have been able to offer some youth meetings in person outdoors and at the manse as well as some online youth meetings.  We continue to try to ensure that this range of formats can allow everyone to meet in some form, and we look forward to being able to do more in person for those activities that don't work online.  Our fuller range of children's and youth work is an important example where we know that the community values what we were able to offer families before the pandemic, and we are determined to restore more of this work as soon as we safely can. 

The pandemic has seen levels of practical and material need in the community that have been unprecedented in recent memory.  We have expanded the small contribution we can make to meeting this need through our church worker's increased working hours and close engagement with statutory and voluntary support services in Townhill.  This work was sustained through each phase of the pandemic, in line with guidance allowing church buildings to be used for support even when closed for worship. 

Through all this, we have been reminded to thank God: that so many of us have been healthy even when heavily exposed to risk of illness, that the church's closure came at a time when we had better access to facilities for meeting online than ever before, and that as we emerge from the  tightest  restrictions  we  can  use  our  new  hybrid  format  to  hear  from  preachers  and speakers from further afield and to share the gospel with people anywhere there's an internet connection as well as on Townhill itself.  Our tendency to self-reliance has been challenged and we have been blessed by being forced back to a greater reliance on God for our security, our safety, our work and our future.  As our mission sees changes in its practical outworking, we pray that our focus will remain on Him, that His will be done in the church, and that His name will be glorified whatever the future holds.
