TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act (NI) 2008 and "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).

Governing Document and Constitution of the Charity

Chapter III of the Constitution of the Church of Ireland governs Parishes and Parochial Organisation. The Select Vestry members are the Charity Trustees.

Objectives and Activities

The charitable purpose of the Church of Ireland is the advancement of Christ's Kingdom. The principal function of Magheralin Parish is the advancement of Christ's Kingdom in the villages of Magheralin and Dollingstown. The Parish vision 'More Like Jesus' is at the heart of all we do as the church seeks to introduce more and more people in our community to Jesus.

Our mission is to reach the people in the community by showing Christ's love for them through drawing alongside them, supporting them in their difficulties and inviting them to different services and activities that take place in our buildings in Magheralin and Dollingstown each week. Occasionally we hold major free community events to which everyone in the villages is invited, for example, free family fun days. Our objective is to lead more and more people into a personal relationship with Jesus and, through teaching, worship, prayer and discussion, to deepen that relationship over time.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements, Performance & Public Benefit

Implementing the charitable purpose through Parish Activities within and outside the Parish.

Parish Activities

We welcome hundreds of people to different events weekly with the emphasis on worship, prayer and teaching within three or four services held in our two church buildings every Sunday. Extra services are conducted at Christmas and Easter.

Prayer is a key part of the daily life of the church. Along with bible teaching and group/individual bible study it is fundamental to our purpose and mission. The weekly bible teaching classes and growth of Home Groups and Alpha courses has focused the parish on the goal of growing Christ's kingdom in our villages. The wider community are invited to attend and our congregation encouraged to engage in that activity.

The Parish is under the leadership of our Rector who is supported by a number of staff members both pastoral and administrative.

Governance is provided in the form of a Select Vestry, which is democratically elected each year, by the membership at the equivalent of an AGM. In addition, we have around 200 volunteers who assist with running the various parish organisations that endeavor to welcome everyone from the two villages to the different activities. For the younger people in our community there is the Girls Friendly Society (GFS), Boys Brigade (BB), Playdays Parents and Toddlers, Engage, RED Door, Good News Club etc. For older people there are activities like the bowling club, movie nights, Knitwits, Mothers Union, lady's events and men's ministry known as MAD men.

In order to welcome everyone in our villages to these activities, we continue to seek out new ways of doing this. For example, In 2021 we delivered a copy of our newspaper, the 'Galilee Gazette' too all 2,500 homes in our villages and surrounding area and delivered 265 Easter gifts to the older generation.

Safeguarding People and Resources

In all our activities designed to reach out to children and young people the parish adheres to Safeguarding Trust, the Church of Ireland policy for good practice in working with children and vulnerable adults. The Parish safeguarding trust panel continues to undertake its important role. The panel interview and obtain Access NI reports for all new volunteers. In addition, each year the panel members ensure every Parish organisation is fully compliant and all their volunteers are aware of their responsibilities and standards of behaviour.

Expenditure is incurred in the provision of the activities above and in the maintenance of the church facilities and services provided to the community. This includes salaries for Clergy and Lay employees, repairs and maintenance to church properties and estate, licenses, compliance costs. professional fees and materials/equipment required for effective delivery of the activities above. The Select Vestry which is made up of our trustees seeks to steward our financial resources wisely and support the work of our mission.

Magheralin Parish Church is committed to the mission of providing pastoral care to its members and to the wider community and seeking to draw them closer to God in their daily lives.

Any report about a parish is ultimately about its people under God and their relationship with him - what they have been doing, how they are thinking, how they relate to each other and importantly how they relate to their community in the light of what their faith professes. This report is the story of two churches, Magheralin Parish Church and St. Saviour's Dollingstown, in one parish - Magheralin - and in 2021 it is a story of individual and corporate growth.

The Church Year

2021 was another year in which we experienced a number of restrictions because of the Covid 19 situation however we took every opportunity to ensure that we continued to be innovative in ensuring that we provided church ministry, pastoral care and reaching out to the community. We achieved our aim of keeping parish life as normal as possible and doing as much as restrictions would allow to support parishioners and our community in general. As restrictions allowed, we met weekly in both our centres of worship via Magheralin Parish Church and St. Saviour's Dollingstown. Our patterns of worship were back to precovid arrangements from late summer 2021.

Achievements during the year include:

MAGHERALIN PARISH CHURCH

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (CONTINUED)

Overview

Growing Christ’s Kingdom continues to be our overall aim in the parish and beyond its boundaries.

The parish is run with a staff team of nine i.e. a rector, curate, two youth workers, a family worker and two office staff (both with different roles), director of music and Christians Against Poverty Centre Manager and is supported by many volunteers.

In our aim to be good neighbours we continue to work closely with Magheralin Community Association and with Magheralin Parish Caring Association. The work with the Caring Association in particular has helped, despite Covid restrictions, in ensuring that we have been able to help the aged, the lonely, the less well-off and the vulnerable through the provision of meals, taking services to them and providing other practical help like food, fuel vouchers and technology. We also continue to provide accommodation in our main church carpark for recycling bins.

The level of youth activity has very good despite the restrictions of Covid-19. The Youth Workers continued to engage with young people across the community. They have shown God’s love in a number of ways e.g. creating activities that can happen in an outside environment, when restrictions eased for short periods organising activities in doors. They have been visual and available in our villages regularly but particularly at weekends in an attempt to build on the trust built up over years and to help address many common issues like mental health and relationship issues.

The two main organisations for boys and girls i.e. BB & GFS whilst unable to meet for most of the year continued to be active. Some examples of what was done include some activity to do at home, regular zoom meetings, small groups meeting outside, and when restrictions allowed meeting in person to do non-contact games, bible study and badge work. From January to March, they were fully engaged carrying out their full range of activities. Almost 150 boys and girls are members of both organisations.

The many other organisations in the parish and community which cover from babies & toddlers up to senior citizens had limited activities however all of those involved in the regular organisations benefited from the general contacts and arrangements across the parish.

Supporting people who are in debt has continued to be a priority throughout the year. Through Christians Against Poverty (CAP) we have been enabled to see people being helped out of poverty. As covid restrictions eased we’ve been able to meet people again rather than speaking with them remotely. We continue to be grateful that two other churches continue to help with funding our CAP project. Their support has enabled us to retain a Debt – Coach who has continued to show compassion as she has reached out to families with debt problems. The need for our CAP service continues to grow

In 2021 we made significant investment allowing us to live stream two services each week. Our videos have been viewed for a total of 10,900 hours, with over 141,000 views over both Facebook and YouTube. Viewer demographic included the USA, Ireland, Kenya, Canada and Germany.

The Future

2021 was another challenging year but we are pleased that the extra efforts made during the recent Covid years have inspired us to look to the future with enthusiasm and expectation as we work to serve our parishioners and our local community.

We are excited to see that people are steadily returning to activities and to in house worship and that we’re able to plan for events in 2022 that in the previous two years simply would not have been possible.

Our overall aim continues to be that we will see people grow in the knowledge and love of God. We want to reach out to all in our community as well as our parishioners showing them God’s love in practical as well as in spiritual ways.

We will continue to support our local community, to be a good neighbour and to build on all of what has been done well in 2021.

It is our sincere desire that in these challenging days when we hear so much about societal problems that we will continue to be people who serve others with love, compassion, and practical help.

We commend this report to you.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

MAGHERALIN PARISH CHURCH

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TUSTEES OF MAGHERALIN PARISH CHURCH

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Magheralin Parish Church (the ‘charity) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (including Income and Expenditure Account), the parent charitable company Statement of Financial Activities (including Income and Expenditure Account), the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

MAGHERALIN PARISH CHURCH

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TUSTEES OF MAGHERALIN PARISH CHURCH (CONTINUED)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the group, including Companies Act 2006, Charities Act, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation

We assessed the susceptibility of the group’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

10

MAGHERALIN PARISH CHURCH

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TUSTEES OF MAGHERALIN PARISH CHURCH (CONTINUED)

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

This report is made solely to the charitable group’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the group’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

MAGHERALIN PARISH CHURCH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. Accounting policies

Charity information

Magheralin Parish Church is a charity registered in Northern Ireland

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act (NI) 2008, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The Parish meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost and transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

b) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis

The Parish generally meets its day to day working capital requirements from its annual income. The Trustees have obtained and reviewed cash flow forecasts for the coming year and based on these are satisfied that the Parish has resources to provide a reasonable expectation that it can continue to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future . Therefore these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

c) Income

Plate Collections, Weekly Envelopes, Graveyard income and Columbarium income are accounted for on a cash receipts basis as the amount is collected.

Income arising from the rental of Parish Centre facilities to third parties is recognised when the parish has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Legacies are included within Income under either unrestricted or restricted funds according to the terms under which the donation is made and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable certainty. Donations and gifts in kind are brought into the accounts at their fair value to the Parish.

d) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Fixtures and fittings are recognised at cost and are depreciated on a reducing balance basis at 20% per annum. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.

Tangible assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the new disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the statement of financial activities and included in ‘Other operating (losses)/gains’.

f) Fixed asset Investments

Fixed asset investments comprising investment properties, investments in equities and investment in RCB/CIT Unit Trusts are initially recorded at cost and are then subsequently stated at fair value at each balance sheet date. Investments in unquoted investments are recorded at cost and are assessed annually for impairment. Unrealised gains and losses represent the difference between the fair value at the beginning and end of the financial year or, if purchased in the year, the difference between cost and fair value at the end of the year. Realised gains and losses represent the difference between the proceeds on disposal and the fair value at the start of the year or cost if purchased in the year. Both realised and unrealised gains and losses in investments are reported within “Net Gains / (Losses) on Investments” within the Statement of Financial Activities.

g) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within Creditors Amounts falling due within 1 year.

h) Financial instruments

The Parish only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

i) Funds

Funds are classified as either restricted funds or unrestricted funds, defined as follows.

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with their authority or created through legal processes, but still within the wider objects of the Parish.

Endowment funds are funds which have been given on the condition that the original capital sum is not reduced, but the income there from is used for the purpose defined in accordance with the objects of the Parish.

Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. This designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the trustees’ discretion to apply the fund.

2. Critical Accounting Judgements and estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgements made in the process of preparing the financial statements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Trustees do not consider that there are any critical judgements made in applying the Parish’s accounting policies or that there are any critical accounting estimates or assumptions which may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Property values have been adjusted in line with Church of Ireland Trustees valuation report.
