**Llanelli Free Evangelical Church Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 5 April 2024** 

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2024. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **Aims and Objectives** 

“To advance the Christian religion in the county of Dyfed and elsewhere in the United Kingdom and overseas.” (Following local government reorganisation on 1 April 1996, the three counties of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire replaced the county of Dyfed.) 

## **Public Benefit** 

Public Benefit statement: 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## **Main Achievements** 

## **Review of the year ended 5th April 2024** 

The Church seeks, through its range of activities aimed at all age groups, to reach out to the local community it serves in proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus Christ. All activities continued as previously, meaning that we continued to offer online access to our Sunday services and some of our midweek meetings, enabling us to reach people around the UK as well as overseas. 

The main ‘achievement’ of the church during the period 2023-2024 was the purchase of Llanelli police station, the culmination of many years searching for a new, more suitable home for our in-person activities. This took place early in 2024 and was soon followed by a week-long mission at the end of March 2024. These two events were reported in the Evangelical Movement of Wales magazine as follows: 

## **LFEC’s Easter Mission** 

“Llanelli Free Evangelical Church held a series of outreach events during the run up to Easter.” Sounds straightforward enough, right? Well, actually no, because the truth is far more wonderful than that. I don’t have many words to spare so here’s the abbreviated version... 

Some years ago (at least eight!) LFEC decided it needed to look for a new building. We had outgrown our existing one and were limited in what we could do there. So we searched, but nothing appropriate presented itself and, anyway, we didn’t have enough money to pay for it if it did. Then, in September 2023, our pastor was led to discover that Llanelli police station was up for sale. The church met to seek the Lord’s will ... and just three weeks later we had our ‘sealed bid’ accepted. A three-storey building on a 16,000 sq.ft. site was now ours, along with sufficient funds in the bank to pay for it. Lesson number one: God’s not short of money. 

So God gave us a building, albeit one that needs development. But no time to stand still because, lesson number two, God’s not hung up on bricks and mortar, God wants people. Next, we hear that elsewhere in Wales plans have fallen through for a planned mission, so there’s now a team of trainee missionaries heading our way along with Slavko Hadzic and Andy Mayo. What an opportunity to reach out to a local community already intrigued by our recent purchase – but what a timescale! Something like six weeks to put together a programme AND let people hear about it. Heroically, our members got to work and, following an intensive leafleting campaign, some online planning sessions and some prayer meetings specifically on this issue, we were set.

**Llanelli Free Evangelical Church Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 5 April 2024** 

## **Main Achievements - continued** 

And what a week! Hosted by our friends at Ty Gwyn Apostolic Church (our current building’s too small, remember?), the week started with Slavko and Andy’s ‘Rhythm and Redemption’ evening on Friday 22nd March, before a Men’s Breakfast back at LFEC on Saturday morning. Then, after Slavko preached on Sunday morning, we again visited Ty Gwyn in the evening where Phil Swann interviewed Slavko about his life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC5TAI8zh88). Monday was an ‘invitation only’ curry evening held in a local restaurant, where Slavko was nearly left with the bill when he overran his allotted 15 minutes, before Tuesday, when the missionary team got to work with our own youth team running a three-day Holiday Bible Club. 

And this is where things got serious. LFEC have run holiday clubs before, and we’ve been delighted when some children bring their friends and a few contacts are made. But this was something else – 54 children attending, some all three days, some just one or two. And then eight ‘non-church’ families attending the Family Fun Night that followed. A terrific response that not only encouraged but also excited everyone involved. Excited, because that many children meant our old building was full; full like it would have been if we’d had the two Ty Gwyn events there; full like the restaurant during the curry evening; full like it was for the men’s breakfast. So, while we’ve been entrusted with a new, bigger building, in sending this mission our way God’s also given us a glimpse of the people He’s equipping us to reach out to. Now THAT’S exciting! 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The church seeks to maintain a cash reserve at all times which is equivalent to three months regular expenditure, thus to ensure we can always meet our commitments over the short term. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing Document** 

Trust Deed (30 June 1987) 

## **Trustee Selection Methods** 

## **Organisational Structure** 

All church work in its various aspects comes under the jurisdiction of the Pastor and Elders, who, together, are responsible for church order as well as spiritual guidance and oversight. Regular meetings are held with the Deacons, who are responsible for overseeing the administrative and practical affairs of the Church. The Pastor and Elders determine the advisability or otherwise of proceeding with any proposed activity or course of action before submitting their recommendations to the Church Members Meeting for consent. The Church Members Meeting consists of all current members of the church. 

The Elders and Deacons meet approximately ten times a year. Church Members Meetings are held three times a year, one meeting (in Autumn) being designated as the AGM. 

## **Appointment of Pastor** 

The Pastor is elected by the members of the church, requiring the approval of at least 80% of those who have cast a vote. 

## **Election of Elders** 

The qualifications for the office of Elder as set out in the New Testament are read and expounded to the Church. The Pastor and Elders then recommend nominees to the church, based on the needs of the church at that time and identification of those duly qualified. Following prayerful consideration, a paper ballot is held amongst Church Members and those candidates receiving the votes of at least 70% of those who have voted are duly elected. Those elected are approached by the Pastor and Elders and invited to take up office.

**Llanelli Free Evangelical Church Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Llanelli Free Evangelical Church For The Year Ended 5 April 2024** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Llanelli Free Evangelical Church (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust 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 contents 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.

## **Grants and donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. 

## **Tax reclaims on donations and gifts** 

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. 

## **Donated services and facilities**
