STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Church in Wales is governed by its Cons�tu�on, set up under sec�on 13(1) of the Welsh Church Acts 1914, as amended from �me to �me by its Governing Body. The MISSION AREA CONFERENCE is not a body corporate. Its composi�on, procedures and powers are regulated by the Cons�tu�on, which provides that before assuming office, every member must sign a declara�on that he or she will be bound by the Cons�tu�on.

The Cons�tu�on provides that the members of the MISSION AREA CONFERENCE shall be: The Incumbent, Vicars and Assistant Curates; two Church Wardens, one appointed by the Incumbent and one elected at the Annual Vestry Mee�ng (AVM); two Sub-wardens for each Church where there is more than one Church in the MISSION AREA, one appointed by the Incumbent and one elected at the AVM; Up to 25 lay members elected at the AVM; co-opted Secretary and Treasurer (if not already ex-officio or elected); and up to 7 further co-opted members. Lay, communicant persons over the age of 16 may be entered on an Electoral Roll (subject to certain condi�ons) and all such persons, so entered, are en�tled to vote and to stand for elec�on.

OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND PUBLIC BENEFIT

As required by the Chari�es Act 2011, the MISSION AREA CONFERENCE has given due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission in respect of the opera�on of the public benefit requirement. The ac�vi�es undertaken to fulfil the MISSION AREA CONFERENCE’s purposes for the public benefit are described and detailed hereunder. The Church in Wales is a Province within the Anglican Communion and seeks to advance the Chris�an religion through world-wide mission. It is the responsibility of the MISSION AREA CONFERENCE and the Incumbents to work together and cooperate in all ma�ers of concern and importance to the MISSION AREA for the promo�on of the mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelis�c, social and ecumenical in the MISSION AREA. The MISSION AREA CONFERENCE is responsible, inter-alia, for the MISSION AREA budget and all expenditure thereunder, the care and maintenance of Church fabric and of the Churchyards, and for any ac�on or other ma�er referred to it in accordance with the Cons�tu�on and is the normal channel of communica�on between the people of the MISSION AREA and the Diocesan Bishop.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Mission Area Leader’s Report

Thank you for welcoming me to the role of Lay Mission Area Leader for Mold in 2023. I’ll try my best!

2022 was ably covered by Carole our re�ring MAL and the following le�er that was distributed at her re�rement service on January 1st 2023 is an excellent reflec�on on all that was achieved under Carole’s guidance……..thank you.

Kevin Weston; Mission Area Leader

“It has been a huge privilege for me to serve in the churches of Pontblyddyn, Treuddyn and Nercwys as their priest. It has been an even greater privilege to serve as Mission Area Leader of the emerging Mission Area of Mold. During my �me as MAL I have got to know all the churches fairly well. Caring for the Bro Famau churches before Rev’d Daniel came, Mold church during Rev’d Kevin’s illness and Northop church during their long vacancy. There have, undoubtedly, been a few challenges along the way, but there have also been countless joys as we have learned to work together. But I haven’t done any of this on my own. The ministerial team in this MA is second to none, and by that I don’t just mean the Shared Ministry Team (who are, or course, a fantas�c group of people) I mean everybody who serves any of the churches in any way. No-one is more important than anyone else as we are all called to use the fits God has given us in his service. Thank you, for your love and support throughout the journey. I can honestly say that when I was ordained in 2001 I didn’t know what I was le�ng myself in for! But, although I wouldn’t have missed it for the world, I couldn’t have done it without you. As we all begin a new year, which we know will bring changes (some already known, others s�ll to be revealed) may God’s wisdom, and strength con�nue to guide us all in making his love known to our communi�es. You will always remain in my affec�ons and prayers. With love Carole”

Mission Area Wardens’ Report

Sincere thanks to everyone involved in our Mission Area for working together and bringing us out of the Pandemic in a stronger posi�on to move forward on our journey of hope, faith and love.

Our thanks to Carole and Kevin for shepherding us all; may they enjoy happy re�rements.

It is good to see our growing clerical team of, Mar�n, Daniel, Kathy, Dan and Adrian. Thank you. Mar�n, Dan and Esther are instrumental in suppor�ng us in the development of the Mission Area Hub and it’s great to see their ini�a�ves for the younger community. Our thanks to our Messy Church team for taking it to Zoom and now back to real mee�ngs. Our thanks to the clergy, volunteers, and congrega�ons in the Mission Area for pulling together to support people and assist them when they are in isola�on, in hospital or sadly when a life is lost.

Churches are open again and our fellowship has con�nued to move forward with the opportunity to return to more real mee�ngs and away from Zoom. Financially it could have been very difficult, yet once again being part of the Mission Area, we have been able to help each other when required. The Church in Wales and the Diocese have been excellent in adjus�ng Parish Share requirements and our congrega�ons have been generous in difficult �mes. Thank you.

Mee�ngs of the Mission Area Conference, the subcommi�ees of Finance and Buildings have con�nued to meet on a regular basis and have provided an invaluable base for sharing and preparing the Mission Area for the future. We are now in a good place to con�nue to develop our Mission Area Plan, for the homeless, for the hungry, for our children, our families and our neighbours. As always, we convey our thanks to every member of our MA for all they do.

have wrapped up all our legal requirements for 2022. Emily has now joined the Diocesan Educa�on Team. We wish Sue a happy re�rement; I’m sure she will be spo�ed at St James! A warm welcome to Geraldine Sanders our new MA Administrator.

Every team needs to pull together; to bind us all together in Faith, Hope and Love.

Melanie Morgan Condren and Kevin Weston Mission Area Wardens

Mission Area Treasurer’s Report

The Mission Area bank posi�on at 31.12.22 was £62,153.50, this includes all 2022 monthly receipts from Churches and all amounts paid centrally apart from one month Insurance £992.00, which Ecclesias�cal didn’t take from the bank in December and was paid post year end. An accrual has been entered for Dec quarter admin salary not received or paid un�l a�er the year end. In the accounts payable account at the year-end there is £24,228, less £1,050 to be transferred to agency account post year end, leaving £23,178, this is held under designated funds to be used to support any Church in difficul�es, also there is £20,000, restricted fund which is the Mold Hub grant received in 2022, both are included in the bank balance of £62,153.50. In previous years a policy was agreed that the MA would keep in reserves an amount to pay the Administrator salary for one year, this amount was £9,500, this has been le� as designated funds at 31.12.22. This will have to be recalculated a�er the Vestry mee�ng as the MA will be employing someone early in 2023 to take on the posi�on of administrator and performing the MAT tasks. The means of paying this salary will have to go to the MAC and the £9,500 needs to be considered as an ongoing provision for future years which will have to be increased due to an increase in salary costs.

Page 6 of 21

The parish share rebate for 2022 has been increased and an amount of £22,784 is due to be paid into the bank in January 2023, we are expec�ng a grant toward admin salaries in April 2023, last year this was £4,300. The balance in the fund for Messy Church and Children’s and Young People work across the Mission Area was £940.68. The balance in the general fund at 31.12.22 was £3,781.19.

The decision to minimise bank charges in 2022 by each Church paying the agreed expenses into the bank on a quarterly rather than a monthly basis seems to have worked well. Thanks to Susan Hellen the Gi� Aid & GASDS schemes con�nue to run well and HMRC are very quick in paying the refunds over, usually within a few days.

Finally, as you probably are all aware I resigned my posi�on as MAT on 31.12.22 but have carried on “working” to complete the year ends for all the Churches and the consolidated accounts ready for the accountants. I would like to thank Carole and Emily, all the MAC trustees, FSC members, treasurers, gi� aid secretaries, and all who have given their �me freely during my five years as MAT, it has been a pleasure to work with you all. I am keeping my posi�on as New Brighton treasurer so no doubt will meet up with some of you in the future. Thanks again.

Mission Area Buildings Sub-Committee Report

The terms of reference of the Buildings Sub-Commi�ee were set by the Mission Area Conference in 2017 with an overall remit ‘to support and advise individually and/or collec�vely all the church commi�ees in the Mission Area of Mold rela�ng to buildings and proper�es. The sub-commi�ee has a key role to receive pre-faculty proposals for considera�on and comment. This was extended by the Mission Area Conference to the exercise of delegated authority ‘to agree straigh�orward / run-of-the-mill facul�es to go forward as long as key people have taken part in the discussion.

Three mee�ngs were held during the year, two electronically and one physical mee�ng. To facilitate the remit of the BSC group and in line with policy agreed by MAC requests for faculty permissions, etc, con�nue to be dealt with via email as required and included all relevant documenta�on. Responses were asked for via email and were recorded and held on file. Churches con�nue to work through repairs highlighted in the quinquennial reports received in 2021, with the majority of recommended urgent work being completed in a �mely manner. Permission for facul�es was granted to Treuddyn for repairs to windows and plasterwork and damage to the path and for plaques to be placed on the Lych gate; to Nercwys for the disposal of a pew, and to Pontblyddyn for the removal of an unsafe tree and repairs to the roof and boundary wall (covered by insurance) following storm damage. Towards the end of the year the BSC recommended to the MAC that Mold church be granted permission to replace their hea�ng. This was subsequently approved by the MAC.

The Buildings Sub-Commi�ee con�nues to be a most useful and valuable forum for discussion and informa�on exchange on a wide range of issues affec�ng the church buildings of the Mission Area. While restric�ons are in place mee�ngs con�nue to be electronic. It is intended that going forward, mee�ngs will be a mix of electronic and physical, and the pa�ern of rota�on of mee�ng venues and visits to cover all the churches in the Mission Area will resume.

Dr Emily Clarke-Jones; BSC Secretary

Mission Area Messy Church Report

At the start of 2022, Messy Church con�nued to be held on zoom on the third Sunday of the month and the Messy Team, which is made up from churches around the Mission Area, we had reached out to up to 45 children each month with deliveries of messy bags containing all the cra�s and ac�vi�es inside. Despite the pandemic we were able to maintain regular contact with families and they were encouraged to join us for about 45 min for the zoom service. Each month the team hold planning sessions where we arrange a theme and consider suitable ac�vi�es, a story, and a song. We started in January with the theme of St Dwynwen, in February we looked at Bees and in March we focused on choices we make, all of which took place on zoom. In April we held a Pop-Up Easter event in St Mary’s Mold, this was well a�ended and engaged all children in the message of Easter. Further concerns around the level of Covid infec�ons saw us return to using zoom in May when the theme was prayer.

There was a joint event with Mold Mission Hub in July with the theme of the marvellous picnic so of course the fire pits were in good use that day. Following the summer break in August, Messy Church returned in September when the team decided we felt confident to return to face to face sessions around the mission area. These sessions have been held in either Gwernaffield or New Brighton church halls. September’s theme changed at the last minute to think about the Queen’s life and death, and ac�vi�es included making jam sandwiches for Paddington. October’s theme was harvest and for November the theme was stars and angels. For the final session of the year in December we had a Messy ADVENTure session.

The core Messy Team is comprised of 6, Wendy, Viv, Cath, Sue and Caroline, with reliance on other helpers to assist on the day. We are always trying to encourage older teenagers or others to join us, honestly, it’s messy but so rewarding.

Rev’d Kathy Stewart, On behalf of the Messy Team

Mold Mission Hub Report

Schools, Youth and Children

Alun School has been incredibly open to St. Mary's Hub. In October 2022 we led a mini curriculum for Y7 and Y8 RE classes: the first week we talked about the defini�on - and Chris�an belief in - the power of prayer, and the second week we created a Prayer Spaces experience in the school hall. Different crea�ve sta�ons were set up for students to engage in alterna�ve forms of prayer, including a labyrinth, 'Be S�ll' tent and a Fizzy Forgiveness jar. The spaces were very popular , and many students came in at lunch�me to experience them. We made Chris�ngles with the whole of Y7 just before Christmas and went a li�le deeper into the idea of Jesus as the 'light of the world' . Some amazing conversa�ons were had in those lessons! Esther is a regular presence in the school through a�ending breakfast club. She is also leading some lessons at the end of January focusing on Holocaust Memorial Day. The humani�es department at Ysgol Alun is planning a mul�-disciplinary project focusing on St. Mary's this year, which is fantas�c news.

Since their youth worker's grant funding came to an end in July 2022, Esther has taken over the running of their Wednesday a�er school Kids Club, which is for ages 5-11. This is not a Chris�an club but the children know that Esther works for the church and it's a fantas�c way for us to increase our presence in this community - as well as residents' trust in us and St. Mary's. Our rela�onship with Parkfields allowed We us to put on, with centre staff and the URC church, a community Christmas party in December 2022. had a two - course buffet, carols with the local school choir, a visit to Santa for every child, dressing up with Theatr Clwyd, a Rodeo Reindeer and an elf hunt!

Cost of living

It became very evident over the last year that the economic situa�on in the United Kingdom and around the world was beginning to cause severe financial hardship, not only to the most vulnerable people in our society, but even those who had un�l recently, been quite comfortable. This was caused by the triple threat of Brexit, Covid and the war in Ukraine affec�ng the costs of fuel and fer�lizer which our country’s farmers rely on for crops and animal feed. Society as whole were informed by poli�cians, news channels and various documentaries that this crisis in the cost of living expenses could last for two to three years.

As a church, we knew it was important we did what we could to support the people in our communi�es and mission areas. Even though we are not based in a loca�on known for poverty and depriva�on, there are s�ll pockets of people with less income and we knew the situa�on would affect everyone in some way or another in the future. Prior to Christmas, we made a list of various events, both yearly and seasonal that we could possibly do. These were things such as Skill Fairs, Swap Shops for clothes, toys and other essen�als, Fun Events taking place during school holidays, etc. We also worked to find places in our community where we could promote such events as well as services and family days. It was heartening to see how many shops, café’s, libraries and community centres were happy to help with this and, once we discussed promo�on of Cost of Living events, were very enthusias�c to take part and give ideas. By the start of Advent we had over 40 places willing to support us in this way.

Over Advent, we opened our church to provide bread and soup and a hot drink on market day. Despite our efforts to promote the event, very few came, although those that did were happy to meet our team and to look around the church. It taught us to consider the types of events the community might wish to a�end and that holding big events was not necessarily best. However, we felt it was a posi�ve start and the community were beginning to understand we were there for them.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

Mold Mission Area Conference

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The Mission Area Conference (MAC) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.

The MAC considers 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:

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:
