## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period 1[st] April 2024 to 31[st] March 2025** 

## **Objectives and Activities / Public Benefit** 

## **The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document:** 

- To advance the Christian faith in the Vale of Glamorgan and other parts of the UK or world. 

- To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve distress caused thereby. 

Coastlands is a vibrant New Wine Cymru Church, based in Barry. Our strategy in relation to our objectives is to ensure that all our activity is in line with our vision: 

- Connecting with God 

- Connecting with one another and; 

- Connecting with our community. 

## **Strategies for achieving our objectives** 

**Object:** To advance the Christian faith in the Vale of Glamorgan and other parts of the UK or world. In 2024-25 we have achieved this through a range of activities, including: 

- **Weekly all-age Sunday worship and preaching services** which offer an opportunity for people to receive teaching and encouragement ain their faith as well collective prayer and worship. We have seen our congregation increase by 40-50 regular attendees 

- We have run regular **Alpha courses** which have provided an opportunity for people to hear about the Christian faith and have resulted in 20-30 people making a commitment to become a Christian and joining various church activities to develop their faith. 

- As part of our strategy to support new Christians and disciple our growing church we hold weekly **connect groups** which provide an opportunity for church members to meet in smaller groups to meet to build relationship and delve deeper into issues. 4 groups have met throughout the year, with 40-50 people attending on a regular basis. We have also run a **Freedom in Chris** t course- a 10 week course which is part of our discipleship programme and aims to support people to grow in their faith. It was attended by 60 people. 

- **Prayer and praise gatherings** have been held regularly throughout the year, including ‘The Well’ - a weekly day-long opportunity for people to meditate and pray. 

- **Coasters is** our children's Sunday school for children aged 4-11 years. We follow a teaching programme through energize to provide a range of Christian teaching. All volunteers involved have a DBS in place. This takes place during our Sunday morning service between 11:20am-12pm. The parents of all children are in the building. 

- **Messy church** – our monthly free family fun event for primary children, providing a hot meal and activities for local families. We have regularly seen over 150 children and adults attend each event, to hear the Christian message 

Page 2 



- **Caterpillars** parent and toddler group for babies/children age 0-3 provides an opportunity to serve our local community and build relationships. It is open to anyone who would like to come along. In 2024-25 approx. 25-30 children attended each week 

- **The Gap the P.O.D.** We provide a space for the youth of our church on a Sunday morning to be together and chat about life and receive Christian teaching. They also meet on a Friday evening for socials together. This is a small but growing group, with 7 regular attendees. 

- **Knit and natter** is a group of crafters who meet weekly and come together to share skills, alleviate loneliness and make items to raise money for our foodbank. Approx. 10 people meet each week 

- We have developed a **Connect Community Garden** which provides an opportunity for local people to grow fresh food for the foodbank as well as developing new skills and alleviating loneliness 

- We are part of the **Vale Partnership of churches** which annually hosts a mission team from Texas. In the summer of 2024, they worked with us to provide a range of activities for the local community and schools. 

- In 2024 we received £25150 grant from the Vale of Glamorgan Council to re-furbish our church toilets and kitchen space (£18555.30 Spent in financial year 24-25). This has ensured compliance with regulatory requirements and enhanced provision for the many groups who use our facilities e.g. probation services, knit and natter, messy church etc. 

In relation to the advancement of the Christian faith, we are encouraged by the increased number of people who attend church services and events on a regular basis as well as the number of people who have sought to grow in their faith through attending discipleship courses and connect groups. 

**Object:** To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve distress caused thereby. 

To fulfil this objective, we carried out a number of activities in 2024-25, including: 

**Baby Basics** provides Moses basket starter packs to new mums experiencing financial hardship. In 2024 our Coordinator retired and in August 2024 we were pleased to transfer all residual stock and finance to Elim New Life church in Barry who continue to deliver support across the Vale of Glamorgan. 

## **Vale Foodbank** 

- Coastlands runs the Vale foodbank which distributes free food parcels to local people in financial crisis. In 2024-25 we operated in 8 centres across the Vale of Glamorgan: 

   - Coastlands church, Barry 

   - Bethesda church, Dinas Powys 

   - Bethel Baptist church, Llantwit Major 

   - St Mary’s church, Barry 

   - `o` The Bridge Between church, Barry `o` Hope Church, Cadoxton Barry `o` Golau Caredig, Barry `o` St Peters Church Rhoose 

- In 2024-25, we provided 8,662 emergency food parcels. In total 62,351kg was distributed to people in need, of which 60,553Kg had been donated to us by members of the public and 7,519Kg purchased with grant funding supplied for this purpose. This 

Page 3 



   - was carried out in line with the operating model and guidance set out in the franchise agreement we hold with Trussell. 

- We fund a partnership with Citizen Advice to ensure that people who attend our centres are able to access advice and support to address their financial difficulties and in 202425 93 people attending our foodbank received support with 311 issues, including accessing the Discretionary Assistance Fund, claiming Welfare Benefits and digital exclusion. As a result, the average income gain per client was £1,630. 

- We fund a partnership with Probation services, which enables local people on their community payback scheme to prepare hot take-away food for people using our foodbank. In 2024-25 this saw 200 probationers developing new skills as well as providing approx. 3,500 hot meals for people in financial crisis 

- We continue to work in partnership with agencies who refer people in crisis to us, building good relationships with our referrers to expand knowledge about the way we work and why. 

- Almost every church and school in the Vale donates food to us. 

- • As part of the foodbank’s participation work, we have held a series of events with people with lived experience of poverty with the aim of building relationships, skills and confidence and ensuring their experiences contribute to local and national policy campaigns. We’ve received the following feedback: 

**Discussion workshops:** The question was 'How has getting connected with us at the foodbank impacted you?' Participants told us: 

"It's a safe space". 

"I feel connected and heard". 

"It's building my confidence". 

"It's a community". 

"It uplifts me". 

## **Sewing group:** 

"The group has helped me learn a new skill and through that I have helped food bank and the homeless. This has helped with my confidence to do something new". 

## **Cooking group:** 

"Learning new recipes and making new friends who I have been able to lean on and confide in". 

"Being able to talk to each other and go through some life experiences". 

"It's given me the chance to meet new people and try new foods". 

In relation to the alleviation of poverty, we measure success by the number of people who attend our foodbank, the amount of income that is achieved through the receipt of advice and support and the number of people who no longer need to rely on foodbank support as a consequence. 

## **Employees and volunteers** 

Most of Coastlands’ activities are led by and undertaken by teams of volunteers e.g. the foodbank has over 100 volunteers across its centres and warehouse.  All volunteers working with children or vulnerable adults are checked though the DBS where required before they start volunteering activities. 

Coastlands employ: 

- Church Pastor 

- Assistant Church Pastor 

Page 4 



- Strategic Manager - foodbank 

- Operations Manager- foodbank 

- Warehouse Manager- foodbank 

- Participation Lead – foodbank 

- Local Organiser – foodbank 

- Warehouse Assistant – foodbank 

- Driver – foodbank 

- Cleaner - foodbank and church 

All posts are employed on a part-time basis apart from the church pastor which is a full-time position 

## **Safeguarding** 

A male church member who is an experienced social worker acts as the safeguarding lead, providing oversight of safeguarding for children and vulnerable adults. A female member of the Church leadership teams acts as Deputy Safeguarding Officer to support him in this role. The charity trustees are aware of and have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Commission in exercising their powers and duties in planning the activities undertaken in the year. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

Future plans for the foodbank include developing a fundraising strategy to ensure financial stability and securing new warehouse premises to ensure sustainability as we will be required to vacate current premises in September 2026. 

Future plans for the church ministry include increasing the number of people in the core leadership team and a development programme for ministry leaders. We are also exploring the possibility of removing the restrictive covenant which applies to one of our church buildings (Bethany) so that we have more flexibility over the use of the site to support church vision. We are currently in discussion with the Vale of Glamorgan Council regarding this as they hold the covenant. 

In addition, we are actively seeking to strengthen the Trustee Board by recruiting additional Trustees and will initially seek to co-opt individuals with the skills and experience required to support the ongoing work of the Board. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing document** 

Coastlands is a CIO (Foundation Model). It was registered on 6[th] January 2021. 

## **Trustees** 

Coastlands is governed by a Board of Trustees that is accountable to the Church Leadership Team. Trustees are appointed by resolution at a properly convened meeting of the Board. They are identified by the church leadership team and must be sympathetic to the Christian Beliefs expressed in the Statement of Beliefs. Trustees serve for a 3-year tenure and may be re-appointed at that time. There must be at least three charity trustees. 

New Trustees work through the Code of Conduct and ‘Role of Trustee pack which include links to all key information about roles and responsibilities. Trustees access ad hoc training to meet identified needs as they emerge. 

Page 5 



A register of potential conflicts of interest is maintained. A risk register is in place and all agreed actions are logged to ensure progress is reviewed. 

Graham Mark Taylor’s tenure as a Trustee ended on 1[st] May 2026 

## **Management arrangements** 

The Charity has a number of Ministry and Team leaders who are accountable through leaders to the Trustees. 

The church structure is made up of a minister (pastor) with a closely supporting core team of leaders. The core team look after the running of various church facilities, including the various departments within the church.  The structure and activities change from time to time to ensure relevance to the needs of the church and the local community. 

The Church Leadership Team (consisting of 2 paid employees and 1 volunteer) are responsible for setting vision and mission for the charity. They take day-to-day responsibility for key strategic and operational decisions, seeking advice and support from the Trustees to inform decision making. Decisions relating to finance, compliance, asset management and HR matters are delegated to Trustees. Safeguarding decisions are delegated to the Safeguarding Lead. Day to day operational decisions for the foodbank are delegated to the Strategic Foodbank Manager. Decisions relating to individual item spend above £200 are reserved to Trustees. 

Trustees have established baseline salary for the church leaders based on similar sized churches. Cost-of-living increases are considered on an annual basis. Salaries for foodbank managers are benchmarked against similar roles in the national Trussel network of foodbanks 

An external financial management company (Connect Supply) is retained to manage the dayto-day running of our finances. 

## **External connections** 

Coastlands has close links with other charitable and church-based organisations including New Wine Cymru and mission Link Wales. The foodbank, works with almost 100 external agencies who act as referral partners. 

Coastlands is part of the Trussell network of foodbanks and complies with the operating model set out in the applicable franchise agreement. We are subject to regular governance checks to ensure compliance with all applicable charity legislative requirements.

## **Governance and Management Structure** 


## **Financial Review** 

The Church runs separate bank accounts for its main work and the Foodbank. 

The total income for Coastlands CIO £571,150 (2024 £524,980), The total expenditure for Coastlands CIO £446,511 (2024 £515,045). Funds in the Church main account include donations which have been given by members to assist in the development of the buildings on the current site.  Funds in the other accounts are to allow the development of activities under those headings.  The Church does not set an upper limit to any of these reserves, maintaining a prudent level of reserve for unexpected expenditure and looking to use any additional funds to enhance the activities it undertakes. 

Restricted reserves are currently only held on restricted income for purposes in line with such restriction. Most of our revenue comes from the members of the church who give regularly, many of them taking advantage of HMRC’s “Gift Aid” scheme. 

The foodbank has received a significant amount of time-limited grant funding which ended by the end of the financial year. It has successfully achieved additional new one-off grant funding but this has not been sufficient to meet the funding shortfall. Unless additional funding can be secured, the foodbank will face a projected financial deficit in 2026-27 

## **Key Risks and Uncertainties** 

The principal risk for Coastlands is the projected financial risk for the foodbank. A fundraising strategy has been developed, which includes a mapping exercise of potential sources of Trust and grant funding. A review of organisational structure will also be undertaken. 

Page 7 



The foodbank has been given notice to quit its warehouse premises which have been occupied at peppercorn rate under a ‘tenancy at will’ arrangement. New premises have been identified which will meet need but incur an additional cost of £36,000 over a 3-year lease period. Trustees will ringfence this within available resources. 

The condition of the main church building is a significant risk. A maintenance team has been developed and a proactive and planned schedule of works is in place. 

Trustees are seeking grant funding to replace the boiler which is no longer fit-for-purpose and an asbestos survey has been completed. 

Coastlands owns nearby premises – Bethany church building- which is subject to a restricted covenant, held by the Local Authority. The building is in poor condition, with estimated remedial costs of £550-600,000. Trustees have approached the Local Authority to lift the restricted covenant to enable the land to be developed in line with the charity’s vision and mission. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees under charity law** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **COASTLANDS CIO** 

## **('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 on pages 10 to 23 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 13 to 14. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **1 Statutory Information** 

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page. 

## **2 Accounting Policies** 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets, which are measured at fair value through the Statement of Financial Activities. 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102. 

The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'. 

All amounts are presented in £ and rounded to the nearest whole pound. Totals may not sum due to rounding. 

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 

## a) Going concern 

The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 

## b) Income 

Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. 

Income from donations includes: 

- i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor. 

- ii) Donated facilities, services and goods. Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value (being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items). Facilities, services and goods donated for the charity's own use are recognised as income when receivable at their value to the charity. 

The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities, particularly Foodbank. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured. 

When donated goods, services and facilities are distributed or consumed, an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed or consumed are recognised as stock; donated fixed assets are capitalised. 

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from church retreats, ministries with specific donations and other events and 

Income from other trading activities represents income receivable from activities undertaken to generate funds for the charity. It includes income from the rental of a church property. 

Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes income from bank interest. 

Other income comprises gains arising from the disposal of stock.

## c) Expenditure 

Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity. 

The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed. 

The charity's overheads, being costs that have not been incurred directly on a charitable activity, have been disclosed separately in the notes under the heading 'Support Costs'. These costs have been allocated to the charity's various activities using an appropriate basis such as the relative use of space and / or personnel. 

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity. 

## d) Fund accounting 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments. 

## e) Tangible fixed assets 

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life.  To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged: 

Freehold buildings Are not depreciated due to low carrying value, but are subject to revaluatio Renovation Works Over the expected useful life (5-10 Years) Vehicles Over the expected useful life or lease term. Fixtures & Fittings Over 3 to 7 years 

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

f) Stocks Stocks of donated items held for distribution to beneficiaries are measured at fair value; stocks of goods donated for the charity's own use are valued at an estimate of their value to the charity. 

## g) Pension scheme arrangements 

The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds. 

## h) Taxation 

- The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income. 

## i) Financial instruments 

   - The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years). 

- j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.

The freehold properties were valued at £45,000 on 13 January 2023 (Coastlands Church, CF62 9TN) and £40,000 on 16 December 2022 (Bethany Evangelical Church, CF62 9TN), as stated on the Land Registry documents when the properties were transferred to Coastlands CIO. The trustees understand that these values represented the open market value of the properties assuming vacant possession and after taking account of the restrictive covenant on the use of the properties. 

During the current financial year, the trustees carried out a review of the carrying value of the charity’s freehold properties. Following this review, the property known as Bethany Evangelical Church, CF62 9TN, was determined to be impaired due to its significant state of disrepair, such that it is not currently capable of being used by the charity in furtherance of its charitable purposes. As a result, an impairment loss of £40,000 has been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities, reducing the carrying value of this property to nil. 

The trustees consider that the carrying value of the remaining freehold property continues to be appropriate and are not aware of any other material changes in value since the dates of the original valuations.
