be adopted by the church in accordance with the provisions  of the Constitution and the Church Handbook. 

Having regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion, our aim has been to advance the Christian faith by enabling members of the community to live out their faith through the provision of worship services and prayer meetings, preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in a variety of contexts, providing pastoral care to those within and beyond the immediate congregation, and the pursuance of missionary and outreach work in the immediate community and beyond. 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

To facilitate this work it is important that a full time pastor is employed and that the fabric of the church building is maintained.

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

_Worship, preaching, teaching and prayer:_ **Summary of the main** As the spread of Corona Virus has reduced the services have resumed **achievements of the charity** in normal fashion. Under a normal routine we continue to provide **during the year** worshippers with the opportunity to meet twice on a Sunday (11am and 6pm) for worship, preaching, and prayer. Communion was held twice – on the 1[st] (in am) and 3[rd] (in pm) Sundays. A Sunday School was also offered during the morning service. Opportunity to remain for fellowship and refreshments was provided following morning services, (am) Sundays. Every Wednesday the church met to pray for the work of the church. Every Thursday morning the ladies met to pray. Once a month the church met in smaller groups to share their reflections on what they have learned from God’s word over the month – the church follows a study programme designed to ensure that we grow in biblical understand together. On completion of our 3[rd] Reading the Bible Together (RBT) cycle we have begun a topically Bible study addressing different subjects over a 8-10 week period typically. Once a month we also had a wider missionary focus at the prayer meeting – inviting outside missionary workers / organisations from the UK and the wider world to come and share with us. Other monthly meetings such as a ladies bible study and a men’s meal (which involves teaching discussion and shared meal) also formed part of the regular church programme. Our current church membership is 53, although we also had a number of regular attendees at our services who are not in membership. Our average attendance at our Sunday morning services was:50 Our average attendance at our Sunday evening services was:30 Our average attendance at our Wednesday evening prayer meeting was:20 _Outreach & Local Community Involvement:_ The opportunity for outreach has also been affected by the regulations however open air services in Neath and community hall services have now resumed. Song in the park and Carol Service. _Schools Work_ Three times a year we invite the children from our local Primary Schools into the church building and provide 3 different learning opportunities – Christmas Unwrapped, Easter Eggsplained and Welcome to Church. This year we were only able to host the Christmas Unwrapped programme but it was a great opportunity to invite local children into the building to hear about Jesus and the hope He brings. _Local Nursing Home visits_ : The opportunity again has been restricted due to the regulations and spread of Corona Virus at times. Live streaming of services is still ongoing to provide a service for those ill or house bound to be able to attend and be a part of the worship services. All those involved directly in children’s work and work with vulnerable adults of whatever age have, have been CRB checked. The church has a Safeguarding Policy in place, together with 2 identified Safeguarding Officers. These have been reviewed and recently updated in line with current guidelines. _Special Services_ We aim to invite the local community into the church whenever we have opportunity and last year held Christmas Carol Services to which everyone was invited, community hall services and open air services when able.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

_Christianity Explored_ 

When individuals are seeking to find out about Jesus, we offer a 8-10 week course called Christianity Explored, and more recently have done this on an individual basis. 

_Wider Mission_ 

As already stated, the church is involved in mission locally and further afield. 

As well as making regular donations to the “visiting” organisations when they visit  / share news each month; we support other Christian work on a more regular basis (last year we continued our annual financial support of a national pastors training fund (Fellowship if Independent Evangelical Churches), a Christian schools work charity (Ice Wales),  Christian outreach work in Croatia, as well as a local church in a neighbouring village). 

## _Church Leadership_ 

The church is led by a group of 3 elders, one of whom is paid to work as a full time pastor and whose responsibility it is to provide the main teaching and pastoral care for the church. 

Our church leadership is now supported by 2 Deacons ( a Treasurer and a Buildings Deacon). 

## _The Church Buildings_ 

In accordance with the instruction made to the managing trustees from the church membership, on January 9[th] 2020 ownership of the church properties (the Mission Hall and the Manse), which had previously been held on trust by property trustees for the church, was vested in Lonlas Gospel Mission CIO. There has been no change to the status of the buildings within the CIO over the recent year.

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

In accordance with new guidelines on advice from our accountancy firm we have introduced a formal reserves policy. This would be to keep funds in an additional instant access savings account in the amount of £2500 for times when income is reduced, at certain times of the year when we have larger bills. In February 2026 when our savings bond matures we will move the required funds to this account and retain it ongoing as instant access for this purpose.

be adopted by the church in accordance with the provisions  of the Constitution and the Church Handbook. 

Having regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion, our aim has been to advance the Christian faith by enabling members of the community to live out their faith through the provision of worship services and prayer meetings, preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in a variety of contexts, providing pastoral care to those within and beyond the immediate congregation, and the pursuance of missionary and outreach work in the immediate community and beyond. 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

To facilitate this work it is important that a full time pastor is employed and that the fabric of the church building is maintained.

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

_Worship, preaching, teaching and prayer:_ **Summary of the main** As the spread of Corona Virus has reduced the services have resumed **achievements of the charity** in normal fashion. Under a normal routine we continue to provide **during the year** worshippers with the opportunity to meet twice on a Sunday (11am and 6pm) for worship, preaching, and prayer. Communion was held twice – on the 1[st] (in am) and 3[rd] (in pm) Sundays. A Sunday School was also offered during the morning service. Opportunity to remain for fellowship and refreshments was provided following morning services, (am) Sundays. Every Wednesday the church met to pray for the work of the church. Every Thursday morning the ladies met to pray. Once a month the church met in smaller groups to share their reflections on what they have learned from God’s word over the month – the church follows a study programme designed to ensure that we grow in biblical understand together. On completion of our 3[rd] Reading the Bible Together (RBT) cycle we have begun a topically Bible study addressing different subjects over a 8-10 week period typically. Once a month we also had a wider missionary focus at the prayer meeting – inviting outside missionary workers / organisations from the UK and the wider world to come and share with us. Other monthly meetings such as a ladies bible study and a men’s meal (which involves teaching discussion and shared meal) also formed part of the regular church programme. Our current church membership is 53, although we also had a number of regular attendees at our services who are not in membership. Our average attendance at our Sunday morning services was:50 Our average attendance at our Sunday evening services was:30 Our average attendance at our Wednesday evening prayer meeting was:20 _Outreach & Local Community Involvement:_ The opportunity for outreach has also been affected by the regulations however open air services in Neath and community hall services have now resumed. Song in the park and Carol Service. _Schools Work_ Three times a year we invite the children from our local Primary Schools into the church building and provide 3 different learning opportunities – Christmas Unwrapped, Easter Eggsplained and Welcome to Church. This year we were only able to host the Christmas Unwrapped programme but it was a great opportunity to invite local children into the building to hear about Jesus and the hope He brings. _Local Nursing Home visits_ : The opportunity again has been restricted due to the regulations and spread of Corona Virus at times. Live streaming of services is still ongoing to provide a service for those ill or house bound to be able to attend and be a part of the worship services. All those involved directly in children’s work and work with vulnerable adults of whatever age have, have been CRB checked. The church has a Safeguarding Policy in place, together with 2 identified Safeguarding Officers. These have been reviewed and recently updated in line with current guidelines. _Special Services_ We aim to invite the local community into the church whenever we have opportunity and last year held Christmas Carol Services to which everyone was invited, community hall services and open air services when able.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

_Christianity Explored_ 

When individuals are seeking to find out about Jesus, we offer a 8-10 week course called Christianity Explored, and more recently have done this on an individual basis. 

_Wider Mission_ 

As already stated, the church is involved in mission locally and further afield. 

As well as making regular donations to the “visiting” organisations when they visit  / share news each month; we support other Christian work on a more regular basis (last year we continued our annual financial support of a national pastors training fund (Fellowship if Independent Evangelical Churches), a Christian schools work charity (Ice Wales),  Christian outreach work in Croatia, as well as a local church in a neighbouring village). 

## _Church Leadership_ 

The church is led by a group of 3 elders, one of whom is paid to work as a full time pastor and whose responsibility it is to provide the main teaching and pastoral care for the church. 

Our church leadership is now supported by 2 Deacons ( a Treasurer and a Buildings Deacon). 

## _The Church Buildings_ 

In accordance with the instruction made to the managing trustees from the church membership, on January 9[th] 2020 ownership of the church properties (the Mission Hall and the Manse), which had previously been held on trust by property trustees for the church, was vested in Lonlas Gospel Mission CIO. There has been no change to the status of the buildings within the CIO over the recent year.

## **Section E** 

## **Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

In accordance with new guidelines on advice from our accountancy firm we have introduced a formal reserves policy. This would be to keep funds in an additional instant access savings account in the amount of £2500 for times when income is reduced, at certain times of the year when we have larger bills. In February 2026 when our savings bond matures we will move the required funds to this account and retain it ongoing as instant access for this purpose.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 29/10/24. 

- **Responsibilities and** As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation **basis of report** of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or 

- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
