In planning their activities for the year the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at their trustee meetings.
The main activities are as follows:
- Ensuring that the former Llangiwg Church, a listed building of historic significance, is maintained and remains accessible to the general public by opening it for tours and visits as regularly as possible, and by making it available to anyone as a 'peaceful space' for meditation/quiet time sessions.
**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)**
- Developing a programme of talks, lectures and other projects about all aspects of Llangiwg and its environs, along with accompanying educational material.
- Providing a unique rural venue for events and activities that benefit the local community, and which, in particular, enable the continuity of much valued local cultural traditions (eg. the Mari Lwyd at New Year).
In carrying out the above, the Trust organises and promotes a programme of events itself, both at Llangiwg and elsewhere in the area, and also engages with other local organisations and individuals who are interested in using the building for recreational and educational purposes relating, in particular, to the arts, health and well-being, and environmental awareness.
To facilitate these activities the Trust is currently committed to working towards taking on a long-term lease of the building and becoming wholly responsible for maintaining its historic fabric for the benefit of present and future generations.
## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
The trustees are supported by a small group of volunteers who help organise and promote the Trust's activities, contribute to events, and assist with the on-going maintenance of both the church and churchyard grounds. Advice on matters relating to the building is provided by historic buildings consultant and surveyor Mr Trevor Francis, who has a longstanding knowledge and experience of the site.
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.

Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main** The first half of 2022 once again saw the trust unable to open the building **achievements of the charity** for events and community activities owing to the on-going risk of Covid **during the year** and the resulting restrictions. In January and February, however, the trust was able to undertake woodwork repairs to the interior and exterior of the church, thanks to a 75% grant of £3,690 from CADW, under its Historic Buildings Maintenance and Repair Capital Grant Programme 2021-22, a scheme which, owing to the pandemic, was offering financial help to listed buildings used as community centres. By the end of February, part of the floor in the nave had been replaced and new weatherboards had been installed on the east and west gables. These works cost a total of £5,136, of which approx. 25% was covered by a generous donation to the trust. In June, when Covid restrictions were lifted, the charity re-opened the church for community events, firstly for an open day to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, which was attended by some 25 visitors and volunteers. The annual St Ciwg's Day picnic followed at the end of June and proved to be one of the highlights of the year, with a marvellous performance by the local Ospreys Supporters Choir. For the first time in over two years, the church was full, with well over 60 people in attendance. The trustees opened the church on almost every Sunday afternoon throughout the summer so that the public could once again access the building. The church was also opened for private visits, for example to remember specific family occasions, eg. a wedding anniversary, or for special visits to graves. In August the trust held a 'Quiet Hour on the Hill' meditation event, which was attended by 12 people. In the autumn and winter the church was open to the public at least once a month, and two family birthday parties took place there. In September, the trust held its first creative writing workshop presented by a local writer, which drew 15 participants. At Christmas, they put on a small music event, ably supported by local folk singers and an a cappella group, The Eclectics, which was attended by over 20 visitors and volunteers. Although it became clear that it would take time to re-build audience and visitor numbers following Covid, the trust was once again able to raise funds through inviting donations from people attending events. Their total receipts in 2022 of £5,584 also included the grant from CADW, other donations, and subscriptions to a newly launched associate membership scheme, aimed at building a core of support for the trust's activities. (Regarding outgoings, it should be noted that in 2022 a temporary credit balance of several hundred pounds was built up with a new electricity supplier, who initially overestimated the trust's electricity usage - this was subsequently adjusted and a refund issued in 2023).
In the latter part of 2022 the trustees re-affirmed their objective of taking on a long-term (25-year) lease of the building during 2023, this matter having been put on hold as a result of the pandemic.

## **Section E Financial review**
Cash funds at year end 31/12/22 were £357 (plus a credit balance for **Brief statement of the** electricity - see above). Trustees aim to achieve a level of reserves that **charity’s policy on reserves** covers six months' running costs In the event of loss of income and any unforeseen expenditure, and in particular against the risk of the building being closed for longer than expected for repair or restoration work.
