REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year to 31st March 2021.

Structure, Governance and Management

Nature of organisation

The charity is constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation. It was formed and registered with the Charity Commission on 9 July 2018 (number 1179109)

Appointment of Trustees

New trustees are appointed by the trustees, who keep the composition of the trustee body under review to ensure that it includes sufficient people with the time and expertise to manage the charity effectively.

Income

The income of the charity arises mainly from (a) contributions from church members and (b) rental payments from shops owned by the charitable trust. In addition, smaller amounts may be raised from voluntary donations during church activities.

Risk Management

The charity is committed to ongoing assessment of the risks to which it, and the church, is exposed and is confident that it has a reporting system in place which advises on a regular basis of any potential risks to enable them to mitigate as appropriate.

The insurance requirements of the church are reviewed annually to ensure that all prospective liability situations are adequately covered.

Organisational Structure

The Trustees are responsible for all aspects of Crindau Community Church relating to the fabric and maintenance of the building and shop units. The spiritual and pastoral needs of the church are addressed by Elders and other leaders who serve on a voluntary basis.

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

1. State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts

2. 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

The object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith through the provision of services for prayer and worship and pastoral care and outreach into the community.

This is done through a variety of activities which are for public benefit, including:

• The holding of weekly communion and all-age family services (Encounter”), which are open to all and free of charge.

• The holding of a weekly service for prayer, Bible study, missionary reports and ministry (Together on Tuesdays).

• A weekly coffee morning (“Coffee Pots”) which is open to all and free of charge.

• A weekly mother and toddlers’ (“Jelly Beans”) group which is open to all and free of charge.

• A weekly youth group, that is free of charge and open to all. These meetings offer the opportunity for young people to meet and offer Bible stories, games, quizzes and craft activities.

• Bi-monthly women’s teaching meetings (“Cherished”)

• Annual women’s conference (“Empower”)

• Provision of free Christian literature and Bibles on request

• Pastoral visits, prayer and support for members of the church and the general public who request it.

• Special services marking the Christian year at Easter, Harvest and Christmas with the provision of a cooked meal which are open to all and free of charge.

• Support for other Christian works.

• Members of the fellowship support the Show Jesus charity through volunteering for the Royal Welsh Show during July.

• Annual service and prayer time for the suffering church. Offering taken to support work by groups such as Open Doors.

• Ad hoc offerings taken when church leadership are aware of pressing needs.

• Support for our community school which has included fundraising. One of our members now sits as a Governor for the school.

In addition, the Trustees have undertaken necessary maintenance work on the church building to ensure that it is accessible and safe for all users.

Our activities were curtailed during March with the introduction of lockdown restrictions imposed by the UK Government and Welsh Senedd in response to Covid 19. During the year our weekly Communion service and “Together on Tuesdays” moved onto Zoom to

ensure continuing fellowship. In addition, we provided weekly meditations and daily verses on our Facebook page to maintain a presence in the community. Services in the building began in a limited fashion as restrictions were loosened in March 2021.

Public Benefit requirement

In planning the activities, the Trustees have applied the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in December 2008.

Plans for Future Periods

The charity continues to look for opportunities to contribute to and enhance the spiritual and physical needs of our church and community.

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 25[th] November 2021 and is signed on their behalf by

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

CRINDAU COMMUNITY CHURCH

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2021, which are set out on pages 4 to 7.

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.
