Denbigh Mission Area

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Aim and Purposes

Denbigh Mission Area has responsibility, alongside the Shared Ministry Team, in promoting the mission of the Church - pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, within the mission area. The Mission Area consists of 12 churches. St Stephen's, Bodfari

St Michael's, Caerwys St Marcella's, Denbigh St Mary's, Denbigh St Sadwrn's, Henllan St Tyrnog, Llandyrnog St Cwyfan, Llangwyfan Sts Nefydd and Mary, Llannefydd St Dyfnog, Llanrhaeadr St James, Nantglyn Holy Trinity, Trefnant Corpus Christi, Tremeirchion Maintenance is also required for Church House, Nantglyn and the Old School, Tremeirchion. St Cwyfan's Llangwyfan is awaiting works in order to proceed to pilgrim status.

Objectives and Activities

Denbigh Mission Area is committed to widening access to all our communities, enabling them to join us in worship at our churches, and to become part of our wider church community. The Mission Area Conference maintains an overview of worship throughout the Mission Area to try and ensure that services for different genres of congregation, for example children, are available somewhere in the Mission Area. The Mission Area engages with the community in the provision of pastoral care, in the form of occasional offices such as weddings and funerals, but also more practical pastoral support such as through the foodbank. The Mission Area engages in Mission and Evangelism to bring the love of God into our communities to bring a sense of hope and peace.To facilitate this work it is important for the Mission Area to maintain the fabric of each of the churches and related buildings.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Mission Area Review

The Mission Area review process created a report with wide-ranging recommendations to improve all aspects of the Mission Area from models of ministry, to the future of churches and their ministries. This report was published late in October. The majority of the Recommendations have now been implemented whilst those remaining are in progress and are on a basis of on-going evaluation and implementation.

Worship and Prayer

Reverend Rebecca is the Mission Area Leader although had a period of time away from her responsibilities from November 2023 onwards. Rebecca also has special responsibility for Liturgy in the Mission Area. Reverend Martin Pritchard has special responsibility for Mission and Community Engagement and Reverend Jane Finn for Pastoral Care across the Mission Area, having now trained 12 lay pastoral assistants who were then authorised along with worship leaders in our MA Services on 5th Sundays in the month. Reverend Sally Harper joined the MA Clergy Team in November 2022, just before the beginning of the 2023 year bringing extra support and expertise. Reverend Alyson Goldstein was ordained priest in July 2023, and is a curate in the Mission Area.

Patterns for church services are now well established, using the full complement of clergy available, which includes making occasional use of the availability of three PTO priests. Churches have services between twice and four times a month, with the Eucharistic provision being between 1 and 3 times a month depending upon the church. There is a weekly evensong held on Zoom every Friday, conducted by the Mission Area Travelling Evensong. Travelling Evensong also provide a regular monthly rota of in-person travelling evensong services across the churches of the Mission Area. Four churches hold regular midweek Eucharist services. Tremeirchion have recently introduced lay led Iona Morning Prayer.

Almost all the churches are now open during daylight hours for private prayer. However, some have also retained their outdoor prayer spaces in the churchyards. These continue to receive positive feedback from visitors. Caerwys, Henllan and Tremeirchion have installed a Prayer Tree/Prayer Stand where visitors are invited to leave prayers that will be included in services and the Tremeirchion church also organises an email prayer chain. All churches have been working towards having somewhere to light a candle and leave a prayer, and St Mary's Denbigh have installed a votive stand.

A strong Easter and Christmas provision of services is provided across the Mission Area making use of different church buildings for different services and events, and engaging strongly with the communities across the area.

In terms of bi-lingual and fully Welsh provision, St Mary's now holds a fully Welsh Eucharistic service once a month, a bi-lingual lay-led service once a month, and Tremeirchion also holds a Welsh Eucharistic Service once a month, and Llandyrnog has a bilingual Eucharist once a month. Other services at Tremeirchion are also fully bilingual when possible. All services in Llannefydd are bilingual.

There is worship provision for younger people, and engagement with churches in Denbigh on potential upper primary/youth provision, and a children's trail in Advent with local churches. Messy Church has continued in Llandyrnog. There have been regular Sunday All Age Worship/Family services in Denbigh, Tremeirchion, Trefnant, Bodfari and Henllan. Prayers and Bears for Under 5s has continued to be popular in Trefnant and a second service has started in Henllan. The session in Henllan is enthusiastically attended by the school's entire Foundation Phase as well. Joyful Noise a musical service for primary aged children continues its monthly provision in St Mary's Denbigh. Trefnant and Tremeirchion have involved young people in caring for nature in the churchyards and Trefnant's Bat Talk followed by bat detecting proved popular. Christmas Blessing bags were packed and distributed in Trefnant village and the church also attracted many younger people to its Christmas Tree Festival and Carol Service, Carols at the lighting of the village tree and Christingle and Crib Services, with the congregation taking part in putting together a large nativity jigsaw at the latter. Caerwys has continued to hold Easter and Summer Clubs for families with children aged 3 to 11 and invited young people to contribute to the Advent Carol Service with readings and solos. There was a very well-attended (over 150) Crib Service on Christmas Eve and people were attracted by the decoration of the churchyard and environs with tableaux, trees and lights during the Christmas season. At Tremeirchion, there was a large Advent Christmas tree with a scripture reading for each day, a Christmas Eve concert in church organised by a village group which was very well attended and a Christmas Day service (new this year) which was much appreciated. Llannefydd ran a successful Christmas Tree Festival involving many people from across the local community.

Schools worship has continued with priests taking assemblies in a large number of primary schools (church and community) and also in St Brigid's Catholic School (secondary). Xplore Science was provided to many of the primary schools in the Mission Area in conjunction with the churches, thanks to grant funding. Mock Baptisms and Mock Weddings have continued to be popular churches across the Mission Area, and it was a joy to see so many children, staff and parents attending Trefnant's and Caerwys's Nativity services in their local churches, whilst children from Tremeirchion meet in the church for a weekly assembly. Bodfari also hosted a play based on the Life of St Winefride with children from the primary school.

Denbigh Mission Area

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023

The monthly forest church service continued for most of the year in Corpus Christi, Tremeirchion, Churchyard to help people to connect with God through nature and the outdoors. and included a service for pets, a visit to see local lambs and chicks, hedge laying and stile repairing. Work has been done on 6 stiles, new gates and an old footpath is being reopened. There was also a walking and storytelling day in June and welcome and refreshments offered to a group of refugees from Liverpool on a visit to plant a hedge along Offa's Dyke. St Marcella's Denbigh ran a Summer Club for families over 4 weeks of the School Summer Holidays. Llannefydd held a Pilgrim's Walk day in August which started with a blessing from the Dean of St Asaph at the Cathedral.

The Tremeirchion Bach Choir (which draws a wide range of people into the church to sing) performed Bach's Christmas Oratorio in Corpus Christi as an act of worship on 10 December and prepared for Bach's St Matthew Passion on Good Friday in a similar context (now transferred to the cathedral because of congregational numbers).

There have continued to be a large number of funerals held across the Mission Area. There were also a good number of weddings and baptisms across the Mission Area in 2023.

An MA Lent course was run, based on the film Chocolat, with much chocolate being consumed on the Shrove Tuesday Pancakes, before weekly discussions took place on some of the aspects of religion highlighted in the film. There was also the provision of Frugal Lent Lunches held throughout the 6 weeks of Lent. A monthly bible study group is held in the Mission Area.

An Ascension Day service was held outdoors in Nantglyn, with preaching from the famous preaching tree in the church grounds.

Large scale Remembrance Events were held again this year with outdoor services in most of the towns and villages both on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday, and an Ecumenical Service involved three Denbigh churches in Denbigh town centre and Holy Trinity Trefnant held their traditional Pentecost Procession to place flowers on the Memorial Gates. Harvest services continue to be popular and Bodfari's Harvest Festival was followed by a Gift Day at which (with Gift Aid) over £3500 was raised, while Caerwys and Trefnant held Harvest Lunches. Trefnant also held a successful Medieval Banquet.

For most of the year clergy met regularly to pray together each morning, so all activity within the Mission Area is rooted in prayer. There are monthly prayer meetings to pray for specific community events in the Mission Area that members of each church are invited to. It is very important to the Mission Area Ethos that all activities are rooted in prayer. This makes the difference between the church being another community group that is doing 'good works' and a church that is seeking God's will to further his kingdom. Members of Trefnant, Tremeirchion and Bodfari churches also participated in CPAS Leading Evangelism Course which will conclude in November 2024.

Diocesan Conference

Each church has an elected representative to attend the diocesan conference , providing a link between the MA and the wider church.

Our Church Buildings

Church Buildings continue, where possible, to be kept open for private prayer during the daytime. Llannefydd Church was listed as a finalist in the National Churches' Trust Open for Visitors Award, having been entered by its Friends group.

All the churches across the Mission Area engaged with the Rocha Eco Church Scheme with all churches achieving at least a bronze award with Henllan, Llangwyfan, Trefnant and Tremeirchion all achieving silver awards and Henllan applying for a Gold Award (which they have since achieved). Trefnant also won the National Churches Trust Volunteer and Community Award and some of the volunteers enjoyed a London trip to accept the award and have registered their church in the Teracycle scheme for members of the public to recycle confectionery wrappers.

Maintenance work has continued in churches across the Mission Area. A new MA buildings committee started meeting early in 2023 to ensure that building work and maintenance takes place in a timely fashion, and upcoming Quinquennials for 2024 will be advised to churches for the 2024 year. Grant funding has been successfully secured for projects across the Mission Area.

Pastoral Care

Page 3

Denbigh Mission Area

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023

Funeral visits, and pastoral care continues to take place face to face, services take place in residential homes, and home communion visits, with the increasing involvement of lay pastoral visitors. Twelve Pastoral Assistants have now been trained and authorised for ministry by the MAC, to exercise very valued ministry. Tea and talk for people who feel isolated runs monthly in St Mary's Denbigh with either speakers or quizzes. Trefnant hosts a bookclub, whilst in Caerwys a post-retirement Friday lunch club meets weekly in church and in Tremeirchion there is a monthly Golden Hours meeting (for retired people) and a monthly Gweu a Chreu (craft group). In Bodfari, the monthly coffee mornings have continued and are very successful - over £2000 has been raised for the churchyard maintenance fund, whilst in the summer a parish supper was organised by the church committee and supporters, which was attended by over 70 parishioners who enjoyed a wonderful evening of quality food and fellowship (A substantial sum was also raised for parish funds.) In the lead up to Advent a very successful wine and cheese evening was held in St Stephen's Church in Bodfari which was also well attended.

The church in Denbigh is working with other agencies to look at the alleviation of poverty through a number of food related projects such as a community fridge, incredible edible and cook and eat. In Henllan, a warm hub was started in December 2022 and has proved very successful, regularly serving between 40 to 60 hot meals every Thursday, when surplus food from the supermarkets is also available. Denbigh, Caerwys, Trefnant, Bodfari, Henllan, Llandyrnog and Tremeirchion all have collection boxes for donations to the foodbank, Tremeirchion also collect clothing for SHARE and recently held a UNICEF breakfast fundraiser. Llandyrnog also has a collection box for items for Women's Aid.

Churches across the Mission Area have continued to be pro-active in continuing to collect items for the local foodbanks and for refugees, for onward transmission to centres.

Mission and Evangelism

Throughout the year the Mission Area was involved in Mission and Evangelism, this has mainly centred around bringing hope to our communities in a time that has been characterised by great tiredness alongside the pain of bereavement and the residual fear from living though a pandemic.

In Holy Week and Advent each of the churches put on a number of nativity based activities, alongside an Ecumenical nativity trail through Denbigh Town Centre in Advent aimed at children and a Community Carol Service which attracted around 350 people. Many churches held Christingles, Carol Services, Crib Services and Midnight Mass Services in various forms.

Caerwys continues to make the church available for the weekly rehearsals by Cor Meibion and Cor Merched Caerwys, and the Vale of Clwyd Singers. Their fundraising activities, including Christmas and Summer Fairs, quizzes and concerts also encourage people to enter the church building and meet regular worshippers. Trefnant run a stall at the Village Show with the ever popular 'Dunk the Vicar' event.

Tremeirchion started a new gathering to combat loneliness amongst the elderly, which has been very well received.

St Mary's Denbigh continued to welcome various bands of bell ringers from across the UK to ring and be open for refreshments, conversations and questions. It is hoped that this will be continued and a program further expanded if possible.

Ecumenical Relationships

Churches worked together to put on a well-attended Easter Sunrise service at Denbigh Castle. An ecumenical service was put on in St Beuno's Spirituality Centre, Tremeirchion, for the World Day of Prayer, and an Ecumenical Remembrance Day service was held in Denbigh. An ecumenical Advent trail was put on in Denbigh, and the Remembrance Sunday event in town was developed into an Ecumenical service.

The churches across Denbigh have also been working towards children's and youth provision in the town with Urban Saints. Tremeirchion maintains close contact with other Christians in the village, often sharing worship and also meeting together at the monthly village market, held on church premises and which raises money for funds from refreshments.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial review

2023 has seen an improvement in attendance at services as people become accustomed to being able to mix again following the pandemic. This has resulted in a much needed increase in income. During the pandemic Gift Direct was a lifesaver for most churches, we should all work towards increasing this method of giving where the tax back is received a week after the actual gift. This method of giving ensures a regular monthly gift, plus the tax back.

Contactless is another very useful tool, particularly for those churches which have visitors on a regular basis to view historic or famous items.

The treasurers coped during 2023 with the accounts being moved from computer based to online and they are to be commended for the way in which they have adapted to the changes in the programme.

Thanks are given to our Mission Area members who have continued to contribute generously to the churches with both their own money and also their time and resources in fundraising.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

Most churches have had to dip into their reserves to stay financially viable this year. The MAC aims to retain a balance of unrestricted 'free' reserves to provide working capital, and to meet any future shortfalls in receipts or unexpected payments, at least equal to 3months payments.

The receipts and payments for the year, and the assets and liabilities at the year end are shown in the statements of account which accompany this report.

Volunteers

The Mission Area Conference would like to thank the many members across our Mission Area who have continued to provide valuable support throughout this year in so many different. The Mission Area has continued to rise to the challenge to show itself as a Church that with God's help is able to thrive and continue to be a force for good in forwarding God's kingdom within our local communities.

FUTURE VISION

Through 2024 the Mission Area will continue to implement and review the recommendations from the Mission Area Review. The clergy team will continue to provide their specific roles of Pastoral Care, Mission and Community Engagement and Spirituality, alongside pastoral care of their own churches, and any further training will be given for those helping to provide lay involvement within the body of the church. Occasional offices will continue to demonstrate the love of God, and help people to understand the offerings of the church.

New missional activities include working with the new lead of Bwyd Dinbych around Eat and Cook for the Community and around Incredible Edible additions to the provision at the community allotment and at the HWB, Denbigh, and an ecumenical provision with Urban Saints for children and youth in Denbigh.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Going concern

In March 2020 the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared Covid-19 as a worldwide pandemic. In relation to this the trustees have reviewed the charity's performance and all other considerations, and as a result believe that the going concern basis is reasonable.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Investment property

Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
