## **Y GRWP**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2024**
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year to 31st December 2024.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Nature of organisation
Y GRŴP (Grace Rural Wales Partnership) exists in order to see the planting of grass-roots Bible churches in modern rural Wales. Y GRŴP is committed to Biblical faithfulness, cultural sensitivity, and therefore to modelling and proclaiming the life-giving message of the Christian Scriptures through planting, sustaining and multiplying grass-roots micro churches in Welsh rural communities.
This work has been ongoing for a number of years through the ministry of Simon Bowkett (especially west/mid-Wales) but has more recently been formalised through the creation of Y GRŴP as a CIO and the gathering of a core of trustees with relevant experience and passion for the work to flourish.
Y GRŴP is particularly aware of the peculiarities of ministry in rural areas and the need to structure and plan outreach in such a fashion as to be effective in a non-urban, geographically dispersed mission field. To this end, many of the day to day activities are quite different in nature with many activities being centred around farms, farm life and micro church communities.
## **Appointment of Trustees**
The Trustee Board recognising the need to increase the skills and contacts available to the charity have appointed additional Trustees to the Board.
## **Income**
The Charity’s income is wholly dependent on the gifts of individuals, churches and other Christian charities/trusts. One of the main responsibilities of the trustees is to ensure that funding is sought from a variety of sources to ensure that the cash flow of the charity remains effective. They have therefore purposed as part of the strategy to increase more regular giving.
## **Organisational Structure**
The charity has a board of trustees and an executive director. It is largely the role of the executive director to carry out the work of the charity with the support, advice and encouragement of the Trustee Board.

## **Responsibilities of the Trustees**
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year.
We are required to:
1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
3. State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts
4. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business
We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
## **Our Aims and Objectives**
1. The prevention or relief of poverty primarily but not exclusively in rural Wales (lying outside the cities of Bangor, Cardiff, Newport, St David’s, St Asaph and Swansea) by providing grants, items and services to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty
2. For the public benefit to promote the education of people of all ages in Wales in such ways as the charity trustees think fit
3. To advance the protestant evangelical faith to the benefit of the public in accordance with the statements of belief appearing in the schedule
4. To further such other purposes as are exclusively charitable under the laws of England and Wales as the trustees from time to time determine
## **Activities this last year**
During the last financial year YGRWP has continued to explore novel solutions to the ongoing work of reaching a dispersed and isolated group of people living in rural mid-Wales for the Kingdom of God.
We continue to utilise many modes for engaging with otherwise unreached and unreachable people, ensuring a continued presence online, in local marts and through visitation of farms.
YGRWP has sought to work with churches during the year to increase their awareness of the spiritual needs of people in rural Wales
4
The trauma training and medical response has continued to be invaluable in making links within communities and providing our rural chaplain with new opportunities to engage with people and share the hope we have in Jesus.
## **Public Benefit requirement**
In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in December 2008.
## **Financial Review**
For the period ending 31st December 2024 Income = £42,547 Expenditure = £45,647
## **Independent Examiner**
Paul Burnell of CMS was appointed as the organisation’s independent examiner during the year.
This Report was approved by the Trustees on 19[th] September 2025 and is signed on their behalf by
Kendal Gary Smith

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **Y GRWP**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] December 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 10.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
