Rhwng 1 Ionawr a 31 Rhagfyr 2025, parhaodd Cytûn – Eglwysi Ynghyd yng Nghymru – i ymgysylltu’n weithredol â pholisi cyhoeddus ar ran ei eglwysi a’i sefydliadau aelodau, gan gynrychioli eu barn i Lywodraethau Cymru a’r DU, y Senedd, a chyrff cenedlaethol eraill. Roedd y gwaith hwn yn cynnwys creu pecynnau ymgysylltu ag etholiad y Senedd, cyfrannu at ymgynghoriadau ar polisi gofal plant a polisi addysg. Hwylusodd Cytûn hefyd fewnbwn eciwmenaidd i drafodaethau ar genedlaetholdeb, rhyng-ffydd a gwleidyddol gan sicrhau bod llais yr eglwysi yn cael ei glywed mewn dadleuon o arwyddocâd cenedlaethol. Drwy gydol y flwyddyn, darparodd y sefydliad friffiau, ymatebion cydlynol, a chefnogodd eglwysi aelodau i ddatblygu eu hymgysylltiad polisi eu hunain. Mis Ebrill 2025 penodwyd Iestyn Davies yn Swyddog Polisi.
Mae gwaith Cytûn yn mynd rhagddi drwy ganolbyntio ar 4 prif maes, sef:
1. Datblygu eciwmeniaeth ymysg areinwyr cenedlaethol 2.  Datblygu eciwmenaieth ar lawr gwlad 3. datblygu eciwmeniaeth ym mywyd cyhoeddus Cymru 4. sicrhau dyfodol gynaladwy i'r elusen 
In order to amplify the churches' collective voice and action in the public square, Cytun represents churches in government, media, and civil society. We coordinating responses to social issues. We provide briefings and resources on public policy from a Christian perspective. We facilitating partnerships for community service and justice initiatives and we support churches in their engagement with local and national advocacy efforts.
In order to foster deeper relationships and cooperation among Christian denominations Cytun creates spaces for shared theological reflection and conversation, support joint worship, events, and liturgical resources, facilitate trust-building, conflict resolution, and collaboration between churches, promotes shared discipleship and leadership development initiatives and seek new members.
In order to keep churches connected, informed, and resourced for effective ministry, Cytun distributes regular news bulletins, policy updates, and ecumenical resources and connects churches to national and international ecumenical networks.
To support the church’s witness in the distinct cultural, linguistic, and spiritual landscape of Wales Cytun engages with cultural festivals, national institutions, and Welsh media, encourages contextual theology and mission rooted in the life of Wales and supports churches in addressing rural, urban, and post-industrial challenges unique to Welsh communities.
Between 1 January and 31 December 2025, Cytûn – Churches Together in Wales – continued its active engagement in public policy on behalf of its member churches and organisations, representing their views to the Welsh and UK Governments, the Senedd, and other national bodies. This work included contributing to consultations on education policy and providing resources and briefs for the Senedd election. Cytûn also facilitated ecumenical input into discussions on nationalism, interfaith relations, and community cohesion, ensuring that the voice of the churches was heard in debates of national significance. Throughout the year, the organisation provided briefings, co-ordinated responses, and supported member churches in developing their own policy engagement. In April 2025 Iestyn Davies was appointed to be the Policy Officer.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
Yn ystod y flwyddyn, gwnaeth yr elusen gamau sylweddol wrth ddyfnhau ei heffaith, cryfhau cydweithredu ymhlith eglwysi sy'n aelodau, a gwella ei phresenoldeb cenedlaethol trwy ddigwyddiadau a mentrau allweddol.
Gyda ymddeoliad tu fewn i’r tim, pPenodwyd Iestyn Davies yn Swyddog Polisi ym mis Ebrill 2025 a gofynnwyd iddo hefyd i ymgymryd â gwaith cyfathrebu a chorfforaethol.
Un o uchafbwyntiau'r flwyddyn oedd cydlynu tystiolaeth Gristnogol yn llwyddiannus mewn digwyddiadau cenedlaethol mawr Cymru, gan gynnwys Eisteddfod yr Urdd, yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, a'r Sioe Frenhinol. Roedd y cyfarfodydd hyn yn darparu cyfleoedd gwerthfawr i ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd ehangach ac yn dangos pwer tystiolaeth a rennir mewn lleoliadau diwylliannol amrywiol. Ochr yn ochr â hyn, cynhaliodd yr elusen ddau ddigwyddiad preswyl mawr - y Cyfarfod Arweinwyr yn yr hydref a'r Cyfarfod Preswyl Croeso i Gymru ym mis Hydref.
Yn y cyd-destun gwleidyddol presennol mae'r elusen wedi datblygu Rhaglen Ddiwinyddiaeth Gyhoeddus gyda cyfres o ddarlithoedd cyhoeddus ac adnoddau arlein i fynd i'r afael â thwf gwleidyddiaeth dde-eithafol a Chenedlaetholdeb Gristnogol.
Parhaodd cefnogaeth eciwmenaidd yn ffocws craidd trwy gydol y flwyddyn. Parhaodd yr elusen i hwyluso tystiolaeth a rennir, cynnull cyfarfodydd ar y cyd, darparu sesiynau briffio amserol, a chynnig adnoddau ar gyfer addoli a hyfforddiant. Mae'r ymdrechion hyn wedi meithrin perthynas gryfach rhwng enwadau ac wedi annog presenoldeb Cristnogol mwy unedig yng Nghymru.
Yn olaf, cynhaliwyd adolygiad cynhwysfawr o lywodraethu a chyllid, gan sicrhau bod yr elusen yn parhau i fod yn addas i'r diben ac yn ariannol gadarn. Mae'r adolygiad hwn wedi llywio ymdrechion parhaus i wella sefydlogrwydd a chynaladwyaeth yr elusen. Bellach mae 9 ymddiriedolwr ac mae  gwahaniaeth clir rhwng bwrdd yr ymddiriedolwyr a'r grŵp galluogi. Mae'r gwaith i greu fformiwla tâl aelodaeth yn parhau. 
During the year, the charity made significant strides in deepening its impact, strengthening collaboration among member churches, and enhancing its national presence through key events and initiatives.
Iestyn Davies was appointed as Policy Officer in April 2025 and was asked to take on communications and corporate responsibilities.

Main Achievements - continued
One of the year's highlights was the successful coordination of Christian witness at major Welsh national events, including the Urdd Eisteddfod, the National Eisteddfod, and the Royal Welsh Show. These gatherings provided valuable opportunities for engagement with the wider public and demonstrated the power of shared witness in diverse cultural settings. Alongside this, the charity hosted two major residential events — the Leaders Gathering in the autumn and the Welcome to Wales residential in October — which provided spaces for reflection, connection, and strategic planning for church leaders and those newly arrived in Wales.
In the current political context we developed a Public Theology Program with a series of public lectures and online resources focusing on the Senedd election, the rise of far-right politics and Christian Nationalism.
Ecumenical support remained a core focus throughout the year. The charity continued to facilitate shared witness, convene joint meetings, provide timely briefings, and offer resources for worship and training. These efforts have fostered stronger relationships among denominations and encouraged a more united Christian presence in Wales. 
Finally, a comprehensive review of governance and finances was undertaken, ensuring that the charity remains fit for purpose and financially sound. This review has informed ongoing efforts to improve transparency, sustainability, and strategic oversight in the year ahead. By now we have 9 trustees and a clear separation between trustees and enabling group. However the work on formulating a membership fee continues.
The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity and the wider society
Prif fuddiolwyr cyhoeddus gwaith yr elusen yw'r miloedd lawer o aelodau unigol a'r nifer fwy fyth sy'n gysylltiedig ag eglwysi, rhwydweithiau a chyrff sy'n aelodau Cytûn ac a wasanaethir ganddynt ym mhob cymuned yng Nghymru a thu hwnt i Gymru. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys rhai o'r eglwysi lleiafrifol ethnig mwy newydd yng Nghymru. Mae eglwysi a grwpiau lleol wedi elwa o ddeunyddiau astudio dwy-ieithog, mewn partneriaeth ag Eglwysi Ynghyd ym Mhrydain ac Iwerddon, ac adnoddau addysgiadol. Cefnogir gwaith y caplaniaid arbenigol ar faes y Sioe Amaethyddol Frenhinol yn weinyddol, a chynigir cefnogaeth ehangach i waith caplaniaethau eciwmenaidd mewn ysbytai a lleoliadau eraill.
Cyflawnwyd nodau Cytûn drwy: bod yn dyst i, a gweithio tuag at undod gweladwy yr Eglwysi aelod a darparu arbenigedd ym maes polisi cyhoeddus, a thrwy dynnu sylw at waith yr holl eglwysi ac enwadau a chyrff sy'n aelodau mewn cysylltiad gerbron ei gilydd a'r cyhoedd ehangach yng Nghymru.
Trwy ei Fwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr, rhwydweithiau a memoranda dealltwriaeth gyda Chomisiwn yr Eglwysi Cyfamodol a Chyngor Eglwysi Rhyddion Cymru mae cyfle i'r Eglwysi gyfarfod a chynllunio eu gwaith gyda'i gilydd ac i lunio strategaeth yr elusen sy’n esblygu dros amser. Mynychodd aelodau staff gynulliadau enwadol, cyrff llywodraethol, synodau a phwyllgorau. Mae gan y tîm staff batrwm o gyfarfodydd cyson sy'n cadw golwg ar gynnydd o ran gwireddu’r strategaeth a chyflawni amcanion strategol cyffredinol yr elusen. Mae'r staff yn adrodd yn ôl wrth yr Ymddiriedolwyr, y Grwp Galluogi a'r Cyfarfod Cyffredinol Blynyddol. 
The main public beneficiaries of the charity’s work are the many thousands of individual members and the many more associated with and served by Cytûn’s member churches, networks and bodies in association in every community in Wales and also outside Wales These include some of the newer ethnic minority churches in Wales. Local churches and groups have benefitted from the production, in partnership with Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, of bilingual study and educational resources. The work of the specialist chaplaincy at the Royal Welsh Showground is supported administratively, and broader support is offered to the work of ecumenical chaplaincies in hospitals and other settings, .
Cytûn’s aims have been achieved by: witnessing to and working towards the visible unity of the Christian Churches within the membership and the provision of expertise in public policy, and in highlighting the work of all the member churches and denominations and bodies in association before each other and the wider public in Wales.
Cytûn provides, through its Board of Trustees, networks and memoranda of understanding with the Commission of the Covenanted Churches and the Free Church Council of Wales an opportunity for the Churches to meet and to plan their work together and to shape the charity’s rolling strategy. Staff members attended denominational assemblies, governing bodies, synods and committees. The staff team has a rolling pattern of meetings which keep a check on the progress of the strategy and the delivery of the charity’s overall strategic aims and objectives. The staff reports back to the Board, the Enabling Group and the Annual General Meeting.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The financial position of the charity at 31 December 2025 and comparatives for the prior period, as more
fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows.
During the year, the charity incurred a net deficit of £12,883 (2024: £4,923). At the end of the year, the charity had unrestricted revenue funds of £181,283 (2024; £57,253), designated revenue funds of £15,438 (2024: £152,351) and restricted funds of £1,242 (2024: £1,242)

Financial Position - continued
The trustees wish to be candid about the charity's financial position. For a number of years, Cytûn has recorded a recurring shortfall between income and expenditure, with the deficit for the year ended 31 December 2025 amounting to £12,883, equivalent to 6.76% of total income. This shortfall has been met by drawing on the charity's reserves. While reserves remain above the minimum level set out in the reserves policy, the trustees recognise that continued reliance on them to fund core activity is not a sustainable position and, if left unaddressed, would in time erode the charity's capacity to deliver its charitable objects. Addressing this structural deficit is therefore a matter of urgency. It will form a central strand of the 2026 workplan for staff — including the finalisation of the membership fee formula and the pursuit of new income streams — and will be a standing matter for the trustees, who will reflect on the options available and agree a way forward during the course of the year with the aim of a new membership formula and subscription rate coming into effect for the 2027 operational year.
Mae'r ymddiriedolwyr yn dymuno bod yn onest ynghylch sefyllfa ariannol yr elusen. Ers nifer o flynyddoedd, mae Cytûn wedi cofnodi diffyg cylchol rhwng incwm a gwariant, gyda'r diffyg am y flwyddyn a ddaeth i ben 31 Rhagfyr 2025 yn £12,883, sy'n cyfateb i 6.76% o gyfanswm yr incwm. Diwallwyd y diffyg hwn drwy ddefnyddio cronfeydd wrth gefn yr elusen. Er bod y cronfeydd wrth gefn yn parhau uwchlaw'r lefel ofynnol a nodir yn y polisi cronfeydd wrth gefn, mae'r ymddiriedolwyr yn cydnabod nad yw dibynnu'n barhaus arnynt i ariannu gweithgarwch craidd yn sefyllfa gynaliadwy ac, o'i gadael heb ei datrys, y byddai dros amser yn erydu gallu'r elusen i gyflawni ei hamcanion elusennol. Mae mynd i'r afael â'r diffyg strwythurol hwn felly yn fater o frys. Bydd yn elfen ganolog o gynllun gwaith 2026 ar gyfer y staff — gan gynnwys cwblhau'r fformiwla tâl aelodaeth a cheisio ffrydiau incwm newydd — a bydd yn fater sefydlog i'r ymddiriedolwyr, a fydd yn ystyried yr opsiynau sydd ar gael ac yn cytuno ar ffordd ymlaen yn ystod y flwyddyn gyda'r nod o weld fformiwla aelodaeth a chyfradd tanysgrifio newydd yn dod i rym ar gyfer blwyddyn weithredol 2027.
Reserves Policy
Amcan y polisi yw sicrhau bod gan yr elusen ddigon o arian rhydd sydd ar gael ar gyfer cyfarfod â gofynion o leiaf tri mis o wariant blynyddol wedi ei gyllidebu. Mae'r cronfeydd yn cael eu hadolygu'n rheolaidd er mwyn sicrhau y gall yr elusen eu defnyddio ar gyfer cyflawni ei amcanion.
Roedd balansau credyd yr arian ar ddyddiad y fantolen yn Gronfeydd Refeniw Cyffredinol Anghyfyngedig
£181,283 (2024 £57,253), Cronfeydd Refeniw Dynodedig £15,438 (2024 £152,351) a Chronfeydd Refeniw Cyfyngedig £1,242 (2024 £1,242).
The policy is to ensure that the charity has sufficient free and available funds to meet at least three months of annual budgeted expenditure. The funds are under continuing review to enable the charity to put them to use in achieving its objectives.
The credit balances of the funds at the balance sheet date were Unrestricted General Revenue Funds
£181,283 (2024 £57,253), Designated Revenue Funds £15,438 (2024 £152,351) and Restricted Revenue Funds £1,242 (2024 £1,242).

During 2025,the Charity revised the size of its trustee board from 14 to 9 members. This decision, taken in accordance with Cytûn's governing articles, was designed to establish a clearer separation between the legal responsibilities carried by trustees and the broader representational role fulfilled by member churches through the Enabling Group. By drawing a sharper distinction between governance and membership engagement, the change ensures that trustees can focus on their fiduciary and legal duties, whilst the Enabling Group continues to provide the forum through which member denominations articulate their views, priorities, and collective direction.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statement unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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 Financial Statements
1. General Information
Cytun: Eglwysi Ynghyd Yng Nghymru / Churches Together in Wales Limited is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 05853982 and registered charity number 1117071 . The registered office is .
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements 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 Companies Act 2006.
The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
2.2. Incoming Resources
Nature of income
Gross income represents the value, member contributions, donations & grants and some exchange transactions.
Categories of Income
Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.
Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.
Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.
Income recognition
Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.
Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance
Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met.
Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition, or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the performance-related or other conditions that limit recognition are met.
When income from a grant or donation has not been recognised due to the conditions applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable once those conditions are met.
Where time related conditions are imposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods concerned,and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are received in advance of the expenditure on the activity funded by them, but there are no specific time related conditions, then the income is not deferred.
Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not prevent recognition of the income concerned, but a liability to any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable.
Income from legacies
Income from legacies is recognised when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them, that where required, probate has been granted, the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate, that it is probable that the amount will be received by the charity, and the amount to be received can be estimated with sufficient accuracy, and that any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
Where a payment is received from an estate or is notified as receivable by the executors after the reporting date and before the accounts are authorised for issue but it is clear that the payment had been agreed by the executors prior to the end of the reporting period, then the amount concerned is treated as an adjusting event and accrued as income in the accounting period if receipt is probable.
Where the charity has established entitlement to a legacy but there is uncertainty as to the amount of the payment, details of the legacy aredisclosed as a contingent asset until the criteria for income recognition are met. Where a legacy is subject to the interest of a life tenant, the legacy is not recognised as income until the death of the life tenant.
If it is doubtful that full settlement of a legacy debtor will be received, then an adjustment is made to reduce the amount of the legacy debtor and legacy income rather than charging the adjustment as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities
Membership subscriptions
...CONTINUED
Page 13
Page 14
2.2. Incoming Resources - continued
The income from a membership subscription received by the charity in the nature of a gift, is accounted for on the same basis as a donation.
The income from a membership subscription received by the charity where the subscription purchases the right to services or benefits is recognised as income from charitable activities.
2.3. Resources Expended
Recognition of liabilities and expenditure
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the  obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
Allocating costs to activities
Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities. 
The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is :-
Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity.
Staffing - on a per capita basis, based on the number of of people employed within any partiular activity.
Premises related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity.
Non specific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
