## **TRUSTEES REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025** 

## **Welcome from the Trustees** 

2024–25 has been a year of growth, partnership and fresh opportunities for Mosaic Church Bangor. As trustees, we are grateful for God’s faithfulness and for the commitment of so many volunteers, leaders and supporters who continue to serve our church and local community with generosity and compassion. 

Throughout the year we have continued to pursue our vision to see individuals and communities in Bangor, Anglesey and beyond transformed by Jesus’ love, by following Jesus, loving others and making disciples. 

This year has included a number of significant developments including: 

- •our first church weekend away, 

- •the growth of new discipleship initiatives, 

- •improving our prayer life, including monthly Prayer & Praise evenings, 

- •continued support for those facing poverty and debt, 

- •and the official launch of the Bangor Youth for Christ project. 

Alongside these opportunities, the trustees have continued to strengthen governance, safeguarding, financial oversight and long-term planning to support the future growth and sustainability of the charity. 

We remain deeply thankful for the many volunteers who give their time, energy, money and gifts to serve others week by week. The life and ministry of the church depends greatly on their faithful contribution. 

As trustees, we look forward with hope and expectation to the year ahead as we continue investing in leadership development, community engagement, mission partnerships and the spiritual growth of the church family. 

## **About Mosaic Church** 

Mosaic Church Bangor exists: 

1.   To advance the Christian faith in Bangor, Gwynedd and beyond; and 

2.   To relieve those in need, hardship or distress. 

The church seeks to fulfil these objectives through worship, teaching, discipleship, community outreach, evangelism, pastoral support and partnership with other Christian organisations and charities. 

In planning activities throughout the year, the trustees and leadership have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including specific guidance relating to charities for the advancement of religion. 

The church is led by a Leadership Team of 10. The charity made a part-time appointment of Team Leader in April 2024. The leadership team meets regularly to consider the spiritual leadership of the church and make recommendations to the trustees as appropriate.

**MOSAIC CHURCH BANGOR** 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025** 

## **Children, Youth & Student Ministry** 

Supporting children, young people and students remains a key priority for the church. 

Weekly children’s activities continued during Sunday gatherings throughout the year, helping children explore the Christian faith in a safe and welcoming environment. Up to 13 children attended, supported by 10 volunteers. 

In September 2024, a new joint youth initiative called _Ignite_ was launched in partnership with Penrallt Baptist Church, supported by volunteers from Mosaic Church. The group aims to support the spiritual, emotional and mental wellbeing of young people in the area while helping them build friendships and explore faith together. 

The church also continued to invest in student ministry through the _Connect Mosaic_ initiative, which seeks to integrate students into the life of the church and support them during their time at Bangor University. Activities during the year included meals, social events, games nights and pastoral support. 

The church also actively supported the Bangor University Christian Union during mission weeks and outreach events. 

## **Community Engagement & Mission** 

Serving the wider community remains an important expression of the church’s faith and charitable purpose. 

Throughout the year the church organised and participated in a range of community events and outreach activities designed to support local people and provide opportunities to explore the Christian faith. 

These included: 

- a Light Party for children as a positive alternative to Halloween, 

- a summer children’s club in partnership with St John’s Methodist Church, 

- a Christmas Carol Service, 

- a Family Nativity Service,

The trustees believe these activities provide clear public benefit by strengthening community relationships, supporting wellbeing and social connection, providing pastoral and spiritual support, and creating opportunities for people to explore the Christian faith.

**MOSAIC CHURCH BANGOR** 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025** 

## **Compassion, Poverty Relief & CAP Debt Centre** 

Supporting those experiencing financial hardship continues to be an important part of the church’s ministry. 

The church remains actively involved in supporting a local foodbank which regularly assists more than 60 families in need. 

The church also runs the Menai CAP Debt Centre in partnership with Christians Against Poverty. The centre is currently the only CAP Debt Centre in North Wales. Following a short closure, the centre reopened in January 2024 with newly trained befrienders from several local churches. 

## During the past 12 months: 

- •2 households became debt free, 

- •£44,826 of debt was cleared, 

- •and many others continued progressing towards financial freedom. 

Since opening, the CAP Centre has: 

- •supported 51 referrals, 

- •helped 7 households become debt free, 

- •and assisted in clearing £108,838 of debt. 

The CAP Centre Manager also maintained regular contact with local Job Centres, foodbanks and community hubs across the region. 

The church additionally operates a Poverty Support Fund providing practical emergency assistance to individuals and families in need. During the year, support included household appliances, groceries, fuel vouchers and other emergency items. 

The trustees believe these ministries provide significant public benefit through the relief of poverty, practical support and emotional encouragement for vulnerable individuals and families. 

## **CAP Case study** 

We met a couple on Anglesey who were struggling with multiple debts and living day-to-day on credit. They were anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. Following redundancy and ongoing health issues, their situation had become increasingly distressing. 

The CAP team was able to support them step by step - helping them navigate urgent concerns, complete the debt relief process, and ultimately see their debts written off. Alongside this practical help, they received ongoing encouragement and care. Over time, their situation improved significantly, including securing employment and finding relief from the constant stress they had been under. 

After their case was resolved, they shared this message with us: _“We wish to thank you and the team for showing us so much compassion and understanding, and making us feel at ease, and not judged… it feels good to be able to sleep at night… our gratitude to you and your team will forever stay with us.”_

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025** 

## **Partnership** 

Mosaic Church Bangor continues to work closely with churches and Christian organisations locally, nationally and internationally. 

The church remains part of the Maximise family of churches across North Wales and the North West of England and members attended conferences and leadership events throughout the year. 

The church also continued its involvement with Cytûn and other churches across Bangor, helping lead events during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and supporting the Street Pastors initiative. 

One of the most significant developments this year was the formal launch of the Bangor Youth for Christ project in partnership with Penrallt Baptist Church and St John’s Methodist Church. The trustees are encouraged by the opportunities this creates for long-term youth outreach and discipleship in the city. 

The church continues to support a range of mission partners and charities both in the UK and overseas, including student mission, sports chaplaincy, overseas church planting and relief work. 

## **Financial Review** 

The total income for the year amounted to £66,626 and the expenditure amounted to £77,904. 

Voluntary income through tithes, offerings and donations increased by approximately 6% compared with the previous year. A Gift Aid claim of £13,109 relating to the current financial year was submitted before year end but received in the following financial year. 

The trustees intentionally approved expenditure above annual income as part of the church’s longer-term investment strategy in leadership development, mission initiatives and community outreach. 

The trustees monitor financial performance regularly throughout the year and review expenditure against agreed budgets at each trustee meeting. 

The church continues to support a range of charities, mission initiatives and individuals both locally and internationally whose work aligns with the charity’s objectives. This includes support for local student ministry, Bangor Street Pastors, overseas mission, poverty relief and Christian outreach initiatives. 

The trustees aim to give away at least 10% of income each year, and this target was exceeded in the current year. The trustees carefully consider all grants and charitable giving to ensure funds are used effectively in supporting the advancement of the Christian faith and the relief of need. 

The church operates a Poverty Support Fund providing practical assistance to individuals and families in need within both the church and wider community. During the year the fund supported 10 individuals through emergency grants and practical support. The church also partners with ACTS 435 to help meet larger needs within the local area. 

The charity remains financially stable with unrestricted reserves of £117,826 at year end. 

Restricted funds held at year end included: 

- Building Fund: £12,048 

- Poverty Support Fund: £1,108

## **MOSAIC CHURCH BANGOR** 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025** 

## **Reserves Policy & Future Planning** 

The trustees regularly review the charity’s reserves policy to ensure sufficient funds are available to: 

- meet unforeseen expenditure, 

- respond to unexpected reductions in income, 

- and support future ministry commitments. 

The charity currently aims to maintain a minimum reserve level of £60,000. 

Alongside this, the trustees have developed a five-year investment plan focused on: 

- leadership development, 

- support for the CAP Debt Centre, 

- the Bangor Youth for Christ project, 

- discipleship growth, 

- and exploring more suitable long-term meeting facilities. 

The trustees anticipate that reserves will gradually reduce over the coming years as these strategic priorities are implemented. 

## **Governance, Risk & Safeguarding** 

The church is governed by a board of trustees appointed in accordance with the CIO constitution. 

The trustees meet regularly throughout the year and work closely with the church leadership team to oversee governance, finance, safeguarding, risk management and strategic planning. 

During recent years the trustees have continued strengthening governance arrangements and reviewing policies relating to: 

- safeguarding, 

- finance, expenses, grant-making, reserves, investments and paying staff 

- complaints, anti-harassment and bullying 

- volunteer management, 

- health and safety, 

- data protection, 

- risk management, 

- social media usage 

- and conflicts of interest.

## **MOSAIC CHURCH BANGOR** 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025** 

## **Governance, Risk & Safeguarding (continued)** 

A formal Risk Register has been developed identifying major operational and governance risks together with appropriate mitigation measures. 

Safeguarding remains a high priority for the trustees. The church operates a formal safeguarding policy registered with Thirtyone:eight and regularly reviews safeguarding procedures and training requirements. 

Training was provided during the year for volunteers, leaders and trustees working with children and vulnerable adults. 

The church is committed to ensuring that all those working with children and vulnerable adults: 

- are safely recruited, 

- receive appropriate DBS checks, 

- are adequately trained and supervised, 

- and understand safeguarding responsibilities and the church’s Safeguarding Policy. 

As part of this church’s commitment to children and young people it has appointed a Safeguarding Co-ordinator. Parents and appropriately aged children and young people involved in activities within the church know who they are and how they can be contacted. 

## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Charities Act 2011 require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue in existence. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
