Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2025
The trustees of St Gobhan’s Parish Church/ Seagoe Church of Ireland present the annual report for Seagoe Parish Church for the year ended 31[st] December 2025.
Objectives and Activities
The charitable purpose of St Gobhan’s/ Seagoe Church of Ireland is the advancement of the Christian Religion.
The principal function of St Gobhan’s Parish church/ Seagoe Church of Ireland is to support the advancement of the Christian Religion by promoting, through the work of Seagoe Parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Being open and engaging with society as a whole and offering support for those needing help are fundamental to the practical delivery of the benefits of Christianity. As a result of activity in the pursuit of the advancement of the Christian Religion, St Gobhan’s Parish Church/ Seagoe Church of Ireland has custody of property and of records, materials and artefacts of significance t the cultural and religious heritage and maintenance of which is undertaken by the Select Vestry of the church.
Achievements, Performance Public Benefit
A summary of the activities undertaken by the charity to further its purposes in 2025 are the following:
We maintain St Gobhan’s Parish Church (1814), Seagoe Old School (1859), Seagoe Rectory (1930’s), St Patrick’s Hall, Killicomaine (1957) and Seagoe Parish Centre (2010). The churchyard adjoining the church dates back to the early 1900’s.
We are a very busy parish with the Word of God and pastoral care being at the center of all we do. Church services include:
-
Holy Communion – Every Sunday (9.00am)
-
Morning Worship – Every Sunday (10.30am)
-
Which includes Family Service (1[st] Sunday of every month). Parish Communion (4[th] Sunday of every month).
-
Evening Worship at St Patrick’s Hall, Killicomaine – Every Sunday (6.00pm)
-
Praise Service at Seagoe Parish Centre – 3[rd] Sunday of every month (7.00pm)
-
Holy Communion – Every Wednesday (10.00am)
The different timings are to facilitate all the congregation to encourage regular worship.
The services are recorded and uploaded onto Facebook and YouTube where they are accessible for others to watch. The services are also available on CD that is recorded, produced and delivered to members of the congregation who are not able to attend church.
We also hold a mid-week service weekly and other occasional services not on a Sunday. Special seasonal services are held throughout the year such as Harvest, Remembrance, Christmas and Easter. There is also the annual Church Lads & Church Girls Brigade Enrolment service. These services draw larger congregations than normal, and all these services provide an opportunity for Christian teaching, fellowship and social engagement.
We facilitated funeral services for families with associated pastoral support and follow up. Baptisms took place either during our main Sunday service or on other occasional dates not on a Sunday and Marriages took place on other occasional dates not on a Sunday.

Seagoe Parish Church
Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31 December 2025
Pastoral Care is core to the advancement of the Christian Religion and Parish Staff along with other Pastoral volunteers within the parish offered a range of pastoral support to parishioners in their homes. A substantial number of informal visits to parishioners at home, hospital or in a nursing home were carried out by church members and a group of Parishioners also visited care homes to share the Gospel of Christ to residents.
Having established a missionary link with Shyogwe Diocese in 2017 when we had the opportunity of 4 representatives from the Diocese visited for a week, we continued to hold that link and support with Shyogwe Diocese through CMSI. In addition to receiving regular updates from the Diocese, our mission team continued to be in contact with clergy and people in Shyogwe, through use of social media.
We continued to raise funds to support the link, and the mission team encouraged the Parish to engage more fully with the link.
Throughout the year we also invited a number of representatives of some of the organisations we support to address us at church services and other church events.
There were three editions of the Parish magazine published throughout the year and delivered to around 700 homes to promote our activities and news from within the church community. There continues to be a weekly news sheet produced which helps inform parishioners of activities and event happening within the parish and also other events happening outside the parish.
We have our digital communication in place with includes the website (www.seagoe.co.uk), our Facebook page (facebook.com/seagoeparish) and our Instagram page (seagoeparish). We also have the digital archives website (www.seagoearchives.co.uk).
We continued to meet for regular prayer meetings and fellowship groups throughout the year which help to build social engagement and participation, Christian Fellowship and faith development.
We also have our numerous church groups which met during the year. These include, Mothers Union, Church Lads & Church Girls Brigade, Rubies Women’s Group, Seagoe Men’s Group, Choir, Seagoe Indoor Bowling Club and Healing Prayer Group.
We have two Parent and Toddler groups which continue to run led by volunteers and established to support parents or carers. The groups met throughout the year with approx. 30 adults and 35 children attending each week.
On Sunday mornings we continued to have Sunday Light (Sunday School) which runs September – June. Unfortunately, since Covid numbers have drastically decreased within this group, and we have around 50 children attending every week.
There have also been specific seasonal events organised for the children such as the Party of Light, Easter Party and Messy Church themed sessions.
On Sunday evenings we continue to provide a twice monthly youth fellowship for teenagers. Numbers have been very low with only 8 young people attending this group and on a Sunday morning once a month we provide a Café Youth Church which attracts around 12 young people. These groups help the young people to gain Christian teaching, further their faith, engage with other young people and build friendships and various skills.
There is also a Men’s group that continues to meet at St Patrick’s Hall which help provide help and support for men in the local area to engage with each other and develop opportunities through life skills and a job club in partnership with Christians Against Poverty (CAP).

Seagoe Parish Church
Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31 December 2025
Seagoe Youth group which is the umbrella organization of Youth provision within the Parish continues to grow and offer a wide range of opportunities for young people within the two youth centers. This provision is vital as it reaches many young people within and outside the parish and is an opportunity of outreach also within the local community in order to create a safe and secure environment for the young people to develop friendships, promote positive peer development, life skills development and faith teaching whilst having the capacity to build on the inclusion of marginalized young people and the integration of young people from other countries, ethnicities and cultures.
The Clergy continue to engage with their counterparts from other denominations for fellowship, outreach, local engagement and a variety of inter-church events within the local area. The group organise various events throughout the year and at specific seasonal times.
Other events which are attended by members of the parish are the Bishop’s Bible Week, various mission events and quiet days along with social outings.
The parish continues to grow and within the groups, volunteers and leaders are the vital asset to the groups running within the parish and in doing so all leaders and volunteers are provided with and have completed the Safeguarding Trust training that has to be carried out in respect to the church of Ireland Safeguarding Trust guidelines and that everyone is aware and adhere to them.

Seagoe Parish Church Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2025
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
1.1. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and with applicable Accounting Standards. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice FRS 102 (Charities SORP FRS102).
Seagoe Parish Church 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 notes.
The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis.
Seagoe Parish Church generally meets its day-to-day working capital requirements form its annual income. The trustees have obtained and reviewed cash flow forecasts for the coming year and based on these are satisfied that the charity has sufficient resources to provide a reasonable expectation it can continue to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Therefore, these accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
1.2. Cash flow statement
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption provided by FRS102 and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
1.3 Funds Structure
Funds are classified as either Restricted 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 therefrom is used for the purpose defined in accordance with the objects of the Parish.
The charity does not hold any endowment funds.
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 designed as a separate fund. This designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the trustees’ discretion to apply the fund.

Seagoe Parish Church Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2025
1.4 Incoming Funds
All incoming resources are recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Plate collections and weekly envelopes are accounted for on a cash receipts basis as the amount is collected.
Income from government and other grants, whether or ‘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 charity.
1.5 Resources Expended
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under heading that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
1.6 Tangible Assets
The assets of the charity comprise:
-
Church building and Graveyard
-
Parish Centre
-
Glebe House also known as The Rectory
-
Fixtures and Fittings
The Church Building and Graveyard are deemed to be Heritage Assets as defined by the Charities SORP (FRS102). These Heritage Assets are not included on the balance sheet as information on the cost or valuation is not available and such information cannot be obtained at a cost commensurate with the benefit to the users of the accounts and to the Parish.
The Parish Centre
-
The church hall is physically attached to the church and as such is not separable as an individual asset. Therefore, it is deemed to be a Heritage Asset and no value is ascribed to it in the balance sheet as information on the cost or valuation is not available and such information cannot be obtained at a cost commensurate with the benefit to the users of the accounts and to the Parish.
-
Additional buildings include the Seagoe old Schoolhouse build in 1858 and St Patrick’s church hall built in 1957. There are no reliable records of the cost of this acquisition and valuation approach for such a building lacks sufficient reliability. As a result, this building is not recognised in the Parish balance sheet.
