## _Regular Meetings of the Trustees_
Reach North Wales is a partnership of gospel churches and individuals working together to plant new churches and revitalise existing churches across North Wales. In 2019 Reach was a newly formed charity with the following aims during meetings:
- To identify areas which need new churches;
- To recognise that gospel partnership in North Wales ought to be regional, as well as local. Our work to start with was divided into two regions North Wales East and North Wales West, and focused on the specific needs within each of them;
- To help existing churches support planting work in areas identified which are near to them;
- To lead and establish church plants ourselves;
- To promote informed praying for the Lord’s work in these situations;
- To identify gifted and trained gospel workers who are being called by God to plant in North Wales;
- To connect with supporters who can bring prayer, finances and other help in order to see churches planted;
- To direct resources to the planters and churches we partner with;
- Where possible, to partner bilingually, recognising the need to serve communities in North Wales in their respective heart-languages;
- To provide training events, conferences, advice and support to those interested and aligned to its objectives and vision;
We were able to meet 2 times in 2022, online, following the impact of lockdowns which eased coming out of 2022.
Reach North Wales exists to help the planting of local churches in North Wales. The churches represented have collectively planted three churches already and our hope with God’s help is to accelerate this in the coming years.
## _Fundraising_
Reach North Wales does not have a formal membership but is an informal group of individuals and churches who support its aims. It aims to be funded by churches, Christian trusts, and individual donors who wish to assist its aims through financial support.

## _**Section D Achievements and performance**_
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Following the formation of the charity in 2019, the trustees made good progress in moving towards appointing a Director and formulating a church planting vision for North Wales. However, as a result of the pandemic, the change in trustees, and local church priorities we agreed that during 2021 and 2022 we would meet for prayer and send out regular social media posts. Although the pandemic has been challenging, we agreed that we didn’t feel we should cease RNW activities. We did agree that we shouldn’t appoint a director as local churches were not yet in a position to support funding one. This situation remained the case in 2022.
## _**Section E Financial review**_
## **Reserves and Deficit**
The charity does not presently have a reserves policy. There are no funds in deficit.
## **Further financial review details**
The charity has not actively fundraised in 2022. The balance of the account was £113.60 for year ending 2022. The only cost in 2022 was for webhosting. This was met by the carried forward balance from the previous year of £57.80. In addition, we received a gift of £100 from Ebenezer Baptist Church. Reach North Wales costs for 2022 related only to the hosting of the website.
_**Section F Other optional information**_
The charity engages with several organisations for help in achieving its aims.

REACH North Wales
**Annual Report 2021**
1. The Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) for dialogue and shared experience with other likeminded churches across the UK.
2. Local churches and organisations in the region including ECW, EMW, and IPC/EBC
3. The charity does not presently have a safeguarding policy as it does not engage in work with children or vulnerable adults. However, considering the nature of our work, it is wise for a safeguarding policy to be in place in future. Dafydd has progressed advice from CSS and Midlands Gospel partnership. Agreed we need a policy, led by Dafydd, if we are to reignite activities in 2023
4. Compliance with General Data Protection Regulations needs to be established with appropriate policies, modification of certain processes, and training/awareness-raising.
