All incoming Managing Trustees are required to read the relevant documents, and to attend (whenever possible) the regular Managing Trustee meetings.
Ongoing review to identify and deal with major risks is implicit in the purpose of each Managing Trustee meeting.

Worship services twice each Sunday. Mothers and Toddlers meetings twice a week in term time. Meetings for youth and younger children weekly in term time. Prayer meetings/Bible studies weekly. Participation in community Christmas Lantern Parade. Engagement with local schools. Support for Christian workers at home and abroad.
Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
The introduction of lockdown in March resulted in several of the regular meetings being shut down. Others were moved online. Details are as follows.
-
Mothers and Toddlers closed down completely. Children had averaged 15-20 on Tuesdays and 10-15 on Thursdays.
-
Monday Club (younger children) – closed down completely. Average attendance had been about 5.
-
Prayer Meeting (Tuesdays). Moved online via Zoom. 4. Youth (Thursdays) – closed down completely. Average attendance had been 5-6. 5. Sunday services (am and pm) - moved online via Facebook.
On Sunday 23 August we opened the church for morning service as a trial, making this regular from 6 September. Evening
. services remained online for the rest of 2020 following initial lockdown. We reverted to online morning services from Sunday 25 October to Sunday 8 November, returning to the building from 15 November.
- Coffee Morning (monthly). Closed completely. Average attendance had been 16-18.
Members continued to donate to local foodbanks, but usually by giving directly to local collection points, e.g. supermarkets, to minimise handling and contact.
The Gorseinon Lantern Parade, in which the church normally takes part, was cancelled.
There were no school visits as in previous years.
We continued to support a UK prisons worker, 2 families doing Christian work abroad and one family doing Christian work in UK.
