Where costs cannot be directly attributed lo particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consislenl with the use of resources. Tangiblo fixed assets For Inalienable property acquired prior to 2004, there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Any items acquired during the year that do not exed £1,000 are written off. The Manse is not depreciated as the residual value is greater than or equal lo ils cost. The Coventry Road property is depreciated by 20/0 on a straight line basis. Fixtures and fittings are depreciated by 200/0 on a straight line basis.

The Scheme was a separate legal entity and the assets of the Scheme were held separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers. At the end of JLJne 2022 the Baptist Pension Scheme signed an agreement with the insurance ompany Just Group I'Just'i to secure members, pension benefits under the Defined Benefit I'DB'I Plan. As a result, the Scheme no longer had a shortfall. A revised statement of contributions was approved with deficit contributions from each participating employer in the DB Plan reducing to just £1 per month from August 2022. In October 2024, the insurance company Just Group completed a buy out of the liabilities of the closed defined benefit scheme. From that date any remaining liability of the participating scheme members to defined benefit scheme ceased and the £1 per month deficit contributions payable by the parb'cipating employers which were agreed in the recovery plan approved in August 2022 also ceased from that date. Administffttion of the closed defined benefit scheme tnSferred from the pension trustees to Just Group from that date. Page 18 continued...
