Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st December 2022
Revlew of Progre55 and Athievement for 2022
During the year the Church actNities gradualty moved away from operating under the Covid
restrictions to where we We￿ before the restrirtions Started. The Tnjstees, on behalf of the Church
Membership and visitors, would like to thank everyone that wa5 involved in keeping the Church open
during this transitlon perlod.
During the year. regular Church meetings returned to the Church. but the use of the Risk Assessments
proces5 continued. This was to ensure that appropriate precautions were being maintained to ensure
that the safety issues were bein8 addressed within the Church actNities.
During the year, the Church meeting fomially agreed wÈth the Proposal that the Church Hall would be
sold to purchase a Manse for the Minister under the terms of the revised financial plan. This Projert
was completed during the year and the Trustees. on behalf of the Church members and visitors would
like to thank eVeryOr￿ that had been involved with this imtKfyrtant issue for the Church.
During the year. the Cash Reserve was reviewed in order to enable the purchase of the Manse.
The use of the ZOOM Meeting Software that had proven to be invaluable during the lockdown was
phased out during the year as the reStr￿tionS were lifted. The system is still available if required.
Wlthdrawal and Rtrsubmission of Amended Accounts
The Trustees Report. Independent Examinerfs Report and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31
December 2022 were approved by the Trustees and presented to the members at the Annual General
Meeting held on 26 October 2023 where they were adopted by those present. However. in the
following month. a member raised a query aiK)ut the deposit of £980 which had been paid to the
landlord of the house rented for the pastor before accommodation could be purchased for him. On
investigation, it was discovered this had been received in 2022 but mis-analy5ed as a non-gift aided
donation. A5 a result, both the income for the year and the current assets at the balance sheet date
had been overstated by £980.
The member raising the matter polnted out that as a result of the error, the surplus on General Funds
for the year had been overstated by 13.6%. This was before taking into account the transfer from
Restricted Funds and the gain on sale of property when the over statement became 0.28%. To rettify
this error, the original accounts are being wÈthdrawn and replaced with a set which corrects the
original mis-statement.
Management and Governance Arrangements
The Trust Deed {dated 4th April 19731 provides for a minimum of Six Trustees. The Trustees met six
times during the year- the usual thee scheduled meetings, together with three more required by the
demands of busine55. When the need arises, new Trustees are appointed by a two thirds majority of

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st December 2022
16. Restrirted Funds- continued
Because the money in the Manse Fund was used duringthe yearforthe purposeforwhich it was
given lsee note 51. it is necessary to trdnsfer the sum of £160.520 into General Funds.
17. Going con￿rn
The Trustee's note the Church had net incoming resources on General Funds on its ordinary actlvities
for the year of £6.216. At the Balance Sheet Date, it had net current assets of £63.676. This represents
approximately 10 months expendtture based on the level for 2022. On this basisthe Trustee's believe
the Church will have sufficient funds for it to meet liabilities as they fall due during the twelve months
following the approval of these accounts and therefore it is correct for them to be prepared on the
Boing concern basis.
