Continued spirrtual rovrth and personal developmerrt for members, attenders and friends of Penycae 8hurch ofthe Nazarene. During most of the COVID-19 pandemic thè church building has been shut and weekly meetings have taken place online. This has taken place on a variety of online platfams including Zoom, Fa￿book Live and YouTube. The fomat and frequenGy of these meetings has varied over the course of the pandemic, but has included weekly Sunday worship seNices. Zoom socia18, Bible studies, quiz and games nights, youth meetings, prayer meetings and pastoral meetings. We have recently started accepting bookings for the services to allow a limited number of members to attend Ihe ServI￿S in the building each week. These SeNi￿S are still streamed live on Youtube. Pastoral care work has continued throughout the pandemic, through socially distanced visits, phone calls and video link up as appropriate to the situation. ortunities and interaction Continued development of the social and educational OPPhat we partner with. with the local community through and wrth organisations During the Covid-19 pandemic, The Flyin start provision, under the management of the registered provider, Janet Dean (a C urch member), continued to employ staff to enable the setting to be used for any Frontline worker children. This provision took place within the church building. The chanties trustees adopted twelve new policies to further the charities accountabilty, complianix 8nd professionalism in key areas. Voluntoers The work planned, activrf(ies undertaken and achievements attained would nol have been possible without the active involvement and hard work of all of the members and friends of the charity without whom the substantial work ofth8 chanty could not be realised. The Board of Trustees is grateful for the work and support of all the members and friends of Penycae Neighborhood Church of The Nazarer￿. Flnanclal Revlew Reserves The charity does not have a policy on ￿erVeS as the expendrture and work of the charrty is reliant upon the ongoing support, trthes and offerings of the members and friends re￿iVed at the weekly meetings. The Board of Trustees reviews on a monthly basis the anticipated income and expendrture for the next k%vo to three months in order to ensure the ongoing work of the charity. Flnanclal Revlew of the Year The charity has Gontinued throughout the period to meet and tailor the expenditure it in¢urs to the income re￿iVed through rent for use of the building and through the offenngs and donations received. COVID-19 has affected how ￿ndS have been received by the members and friends The truslees do not foresee a major impact in the funds ￿ceiVed but there has been a reduction in the income. The trustees have encouraged those that can to pay direct to the charity by standing order while cash is counted once a month by two trustees maintaining social distan¢ing. The receipts and payment account shows that there was a net increase in cash funds during the year of £2,226, which combined wÉth a reduction in the liabilrties and mortgage on the manse of £3.100, gives an overall increase in funds of £5.326. as detailed by the assets and liabilities in the financial statements. £48,342 of thè unrestricted funds are set aside in designated funds leaving £7.889 of general funds available as cash in hand and at the bank. Plans for Future Perlods A committee was set up to guide the church back to holding seNices in the building as well as continuing its new online p￿sence. We Icok forward to increasing our in-person provision as CAfGumstances and Covid-19 guidelines pemiit. The trustees are currently taking part in a risk management review to assess th8 impad of reregistering the Flying Start provision with Care InsFectorate Waks (ciw) as a ministry of the church under the chanties existing chanty number. The provision is currently registered with CIW undef the Registered Person, Janet Dean. Janet Dean, who is a former charity trustee and membar of the church has been managing the provision, but wishes to step down from this role from September 2021. The decision whether or not to Reregist8r the provision as part of the charity could have far reaching implications for staff currantly employed by Penycae Flying Start. the fInan￿S of the church and the workload of the trustees, including th8 pastor. It also needs to be detemiined if the charity has the professional knowledge and capacty to take on the provision effectively. The risk management review is currently ongoing. We continue to plan for the future through prayer. planning and strategy meetings, however in the end we accept that we rely on our Father God to enable, encourage and guide us into the future that He ha8 planned.
