Denbigh Mission Area

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. 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 Ss 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.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Leadership

Reverend Rebecca Sparey is the Mission Area Leader providing strategic oversight. Rebecca also has special responsibility for Liturgy in the Mission Area. Reverend Dan Morgan, who joined in

November 2024, has special responsibility for Mission and Community Engagement and Reverend Sam Quilty, who joined us in November 2024, has responsibility for Pastoral Care across the Mission Area. Reverend Sally Harper, NSM priest, has responsibility for Spirituality. Reverend Rebecca Kelly was ordained deacon in July 2024, and is an NSM Associate curate in the Mission Area. There is a growing team of lay worship leaders and pastoral assistants across the Mission Area helping to lead services and take communion to the house bound and into care homes.

A mission area building committee overviews maintenance of all church buildings and that faculties are applied for and updated. There are two Mission Area Wardens and wardens within most of the churches. A new Mission Area Administrator/Treasurer is now in post.

Traditional Worship

Patterns for church services are now well established, using the full complement of clergy available, which includes making occasional use of the availability of PTO priests. The majority of churches have a weekly service, with three Eucharists a month, and one lay led service of Morning Prayer. 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.

Large scale Remembrance Events were held again this year with outdoor services in most of the towns and villages either on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday, and an Ecumenical Service involved three Denbigh churches in Denbigh town centre. Bodfari organised for people within the village and the local school to make poppies that were used to create a fall of poppies from the Lychgate.

A growing number of quiet reflective services were held in the latter part of the year from All Souls Services in November to Light up a Life and Blue Christmas services in December. These have continued to grow in popularity, particularly with people from the local communities.

Highfield House and Galltfaenan Hall residents joining services in their local churches with support of their carers in Llangwyfan and Henllan

Holy Trinity Trefnant held their traditional Pentecost Procession to place flowers on the Memorial Gates. Harvest services continue to be popular with a number of churches also holding gift days at this time of year to aid fundraising.

Many churches held Christingles, Carol Services, Crib Services and Midnight Mass Services in various forms which are generally very well attended.

Welsh Language Provision

Welsh Language service provision has continued across the Mission Area. St Mary’s, Denbigh, holds a Welsh Eucharistic service once a month and a bi-lingual lay-led service once a month. 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. All other services include a small amount of Welsh.

Prayer Spaces

Almost all the churches are now open during daylight hours for private prayer. 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 Tremeirchion church also organises an email prayer chain.

Life Events

A number of weddings and baptisms were held across the Mission Area along with funerals. Numbers of these have dropped this year, but this is thought to be linked to clergy leaving the Mission Area and not being replaced until November. It is envisaged that numbers will start to rise again in 2025.

Worship Provision for Young People and families

Page 2

Denbigh Mission Area

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024

Much of our worship provision for young people takes place in a culture of evangelism - opening up the Christian Faith to people from outside the church, and providing a safe place for people to ask questions and explore their spirituality and beliefs.

Messy Church has continued in Llandyrnog. There have been regular Sunday All Age Worship/Family services in Denbigh, Tremeirchion and Trefnant. Prayers and Bears for Under 5s has continued to be popular in Trefnant and Henllan. These sessions are attended by individual families, alongside the younger members of the local schools. Joyful Noise a musical service for primary aged children continues its monthly provision in St Mary’s Denbigh.

In December Caerwys and Trefnant ran a pilot Prayers and Create service for primary aged children, based upon a Godly Play model. Christmas Blessing bags were packed and distributed in Trefnant village and the church also attracted many younger people to its Carols at the lighting of the village tree followed by stories around the fire, 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 100) 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, building upon the successful service last year. Messy Church in Llandyrnog held their popular Advent Calendar Messy Church. Many schools hold their Christmas carol services and concerts in our church buildings. Of particular note, St Brigid’s Catholic school held their Advent Carol service in Bodfari after a break last year, and Llandyrnog hosted their school carols for the first time.

The Mission Area has four Church in Wales primary schools, one Catholic school (age 3-18), and numerous county primary schools, and one secondary school. Schools worship has continued with priests taking assemblies in a large number of primary schools (church and community). 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 school Nativity services and plays

in their local churches. Pupils from Tremeirchion meet in the church for a weekly assembly which is regularly led by the priest or members of the congregation.

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.

Mission

In Tremeirchion work has continued in replacing damaged stiles with new gates along the local footpaths and the church won a National Churches Trust Award for their Community and Volunteer Engagement.

Llannefydd introduced a Pilgrim Pod into the church to provide tea and coffee for walkers. Building on their previous engagement for visitors led to them being awarded a National Churches Trust Award for Welcoming Visitors. Many of our churches have seen increased Pilgrim/Tourist footfall over the past year, and it is our intention to increase this further during 2025.

The Tremeirchion Bach Choir (which draws a wide range of people into the church to sing) performed Bach’s Christmas Oratorio in Corpus Christi in December and prepared for Bach’s St John’s Passion on Good Friday although now performed in the Cathedral due to the numbers attending.

Tea and talk for people who feel isolated runs monthly in St Mary’s Denbigh with either speakers or quizzes. Trefnant hosts a bookclub. Caerwys run a post-retirement Friday lunch club meets weekly in church providing hospitality and fellowship. 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 which along with providing hospitality also raise funds for the churchyard maintenance fund.

In Henllan, the Warm Space has continued to be very successful, regularly serving between 40 to 60 hot meals every Thursday, along with distributing surplus food from the supermarkets. Denbigh, Caerwys, Trefnant, Bodfari, Henllan, Llandyrnog and Tremeirchion all have collection boxes for donations to the foodbank, Tremeirchion also collect clothing for SHARE whilst Llandyrnog has a collection box for items for Women’s Aid.

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..

Denbigh Mission Area

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024

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.

Discipleship

Discipleship has been encouraged through a monthly bible study group, a monthly Prayer for Growth Group, and running the Bishop’s Advent course and a Lent courses.

When possible clergy met regularly to pray together each morning, so all activity within the Mission Area is rooted in prayer. At times when there was only one cleric they joined with Morning Prayer in the Cathedral. 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 and Bodfari churches also participated in CPAS Leading Evangelism Course which concluded in November.

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.

All the churches across the Mission Area engaged with the Rocha Eco Church Scheme. All churches already hold an Eco Award. This year Henllan was the second church in Wales to be awarded a gold award. Other churches are now starting to look at increasing their eco-credentials to achieve the next level of award.

Maintenance work has continued in churches across the Mission Area, under the guidance of the Mission Area Buildings Committee. Grant funding has been successfully secured for projects across the Mission Area.

Work has continued in preparing to re-order the building in Bodfari to provide community space with a toilet, meeting space and a kitchen, whilst retaining sacred worship space.

Pastoral Care

Funeral visits, and pastoral care continues to take place, services take place in residential homes, and home communion visits, with the increasing involvement of lay pastoral visitors. Further pastoral assistants have been commissioned this year.

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. Ecumenical services are held in Llannefydd and Henllan during Christian Aid Week as well as regular social events together too.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial review

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.

Direct Giving remains the most popular way to donate to church funds by congregations, with gift aid reclaimed by Cardiff and sent to the Mission Area. A small number of people still donate by the envelope scheme. Gift aid is also reclaimed through the GADS scheme for money donated on the plate.

A drop in life event services has seen an associated drop in income for some of the churches.

Contactless payment stations are available for tourists to make donations in some of the churches.

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.

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 2025 the Mission Area is looking to foster a culture of prayer, discipleship and faith sharing. It is envisaged that through this deepened discipleship the church will start to grow as people become more confident in telling others about the good news of Jesus. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024

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.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
