The new venue offers us considerable space to grow numerically and a strategic
location near the center of the city.

Gwynedd Vineyard Church shares the charitable objectives of Vineyard 53. but carries
them out in Bangor, Gwynedd. They have begun to gather a church, meeting as a small
group and finding ways to serve the people of Bangor.
Showlng compqsslonfor the vulnerable:
The church has worked in the local community to be a blessing in practical and
relational ways. We currently have 17 small groups and through these groups and as a
wider community we look to generously give In ways that do not directly benefit the
church. Around 15% of our total income is set-aside for thls purpose.
Compassion work continues to go from strength to stren8th, building on the
foundations built as we emerged out of lockdown. Move In, Move On, an initiative
helping families being moved into new housing get off to a 8ood start with basic
household items, continued, supporting more than 100 individuals over the year. We
also lead Street Angels Chester, a project supporting the night time economy in Chester
and helping to relieve pressures on police and ambulance services. After receiving
grant for a pilot in the summer of 2023, we ran a pllot with other churches in Chester
and, upon comp5etion of an impact report on the pilot. launched the project properly
at the beginning of 2024. The project is now sustainable thank5 to grant funding and
support from local churches and community. We have also started to support the
thaplalnry at HMP Benvyn. providing volunteers to help lead a mid-week Alpha course.

Financlal Revlew
The financial statements as presented show a net deficit for the period in the General
fund of £263. The deficit is covered from available reserves and represents a closing of
the deficit of previous years where extra staffing and venue costs were taken on.
Performance against the charitable aims and objectives of the organisation are noted
in the section titled °Achievements and Performance-.
Reserves Pollcy
The Dirertors and Trustees have examined the Church's requirements for free reserves
in the light of the predominant risks to the Church. The main risk 15 identified as a
reduct70n in the Church membership giving rise to a reduction in income. The Dirertors
and Trustees have reviewed the reserrfes policy and consider it is appropriate to retain
free reserve5 UP to the equivalent to the Church's staff salaries and venue costs for 3
months as well as an amount sufficient to cover capital costs if equipment were
damaged. This total is less than the amount held in reseprfes at 30 June 2025.
