Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022
The trustees present the annual report and statements of Receipts and Payments and Assets and Liabilities for the St Colman’s Parish Church for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Objectives and Activities
( the wording supplied for Charitable Objectives and Activities were approved by General Synod in 2015.)
The charitable purpose of the Church of Ireland is the advancement of religion.
The principal function of St Colman’s Parish Church is to support the advancement of the Christian religion by promoting, through the work of St Colman’s Parish Church the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Being open to 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 Colman’s Parish Church has custody of property and of records, materials and artefacts of significance to the cultural and religious heritage and maintenance of which is undertaken by the select vestry of St Colman’s Parish Church.
Achievements, Performance & Public Benefit
The parish continues to use its buildings and resources to serve the youth and adults in the local community in many ways, each night of the week, in the name of promoting the Christian religion and its values among people from all walks of life.
At other times, the parish halls are available to use for occasional community events and occasions.
There were 3 Baptisms, 0 weddings and 8 funerals during 2022.
The clergy of St Colman’s consists of 1 Rector. The Rector is responsible for all the liturgical and pastoral duties in the parish and is available round the clock. He also Chairs the Select Vestry. A programme of systematic visitation of the whole parish is maintained, with priority given to the elderly, housebound and the sick, and any other pastoral need as required.
In addition to the clergy, there is an army of volunteers who work hard to make things happen in the parish – those who organise and participate in the welcome team; those who provide flowers for the sanctuary and those who arrange them; those who clean and maintain the buildings so that they are ready for use at any time, the Select Vestry, which ensures that the parish has the necessary resources to keep on functioning and provide such sterling service to the local community in the name of outreaching and promoting Christian values and practice.

Eden Outreach Initiative
A house is rented in the village of Eden for the purposes of mission and outreach. This initiative has been running since 2006 in various capacities and is effective in reaching out pastorally and missionally to the local community, who for one reason or another, have fallen away from Church or who are otherwise unable to come.
All Nations at St Colman’s
This is a ministry initiative started by St Colman’s in September 2021, among the asylum seekers, who are staying in a local hotel. Initially it simply consisted of supplying them with toiletries and other essential items, with donations from parishioners, but the ministry has now grown to opening the halls on a Wednesday afternoon to provide a safe and welcoming space for people to get out of the confines of the hotel for a while and have a social time, playing sports and meeting members of the local community. With the assistance of some grants, we have been able to give them small gifts at Christmas, buy more sporting equipment and organise outings. As a direct result of this ministry, we have had 4 asylum seeker families attending Church on a Sunday, as parishioners transport them to St Colman’s from their hotel in Belfast. Our 2 confirmation candidates this year are both from the asylum seeker families and we are privileged to be a part of their faith journey.
Financial Review
The accounts have been prepared for the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022.
Going Concern
The trustees have reviewed the budgets for the year ahead and are satisfied that there are adequate funds in place to ensure that the Parish can continue its activities and the financial statements for the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 can be signed off as a “going concern”

Structure, Governance and Management
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
Recruitment and Appointment of Select Vestry (Trustees)
All members of the Church of Ireland who are over the age of 18 and are either resident within the parish or live elsewhere but have been accustomed members of the congregation for at least three months, and who contribute to parish funds, may register as members of the general vestry of the parish, allowing them to attend and vote at meetings of the general vestry and to stand for election to the select vestry. Meetings of the general vestry are held at least once a year. The Select Vestry is elected as part of this General Vestry meeting. The Select Vestry will hold their positions for a period of one year. Select Vestry members may be re-elected annually and there is no limit on the number of terms which may be served.
Pay and remuneration
From 1[st] January 2022 – 31[st] December 2022, the incumbent received a stipend in accordance with figures approved by the General Synod of the Church of Ireland including Office expenses and locomotory allowances.
Organisational Structure
The select vestry is responsible for the day to day management of the parish. The select vestry consists of the member of the clergy serving in the parish, the churchwardens, the glebe wardens and generally not more than twelve other members of the general vestry elected at the General Vestry.
The select vestry is chaired by the incumbent or other member of the clergy officiating in the parish. Select vestry members are responsible for making decisions on matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding how parish funds are to be applied.
The select vestry meets at times fixed by the members or by the diocesan synod. Special meetings may be convened at any time by the chairperson or the churchwardens. In 2022 the Select Vestry met 10 times during the year.

Compliance with Public Benefit
The Parish has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities entered into during the year have helped to achieve the Parish’s objectives and activities, as well as providing public benefit.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the statement of receipts and payments and statement of assets and liabilities in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in Northern Ireland with Income of less than £250,000 requires the trustees to prepare a statement of receipts and payments and a statement of assets and liabilities for each financial year.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Parish’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the assets and liabilities of the Parish. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Parish and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Honorary Treasurer’s Overview
St. Colman's Church, Parish of Kilroot
Year ended 31 December 2022
Treasurer's Report
Notable items of Income this year are the £9,000 received from the priorities fund for the Eden Outreach project , and £5000 from the Representative church body for our work with asylum seekers.
Within our expenditure, like everyone else our electricity costs increased substantially, by £2,694 for the year. - that's almost £225 a month extra. Thanks to the grant received from the RCB we were able to provide much needed support to the asylum seekers in December.
Overall, we have £12,297 more in the bank at the end of the year than the start of the year, but saying that, £13,810 of our final balance is allocated to the Eden Outreach Project. There is however a grant for £2,000 which we are in the process of claiming, for expenditure last year regarding transport and costs for the asylum seekers. Taking all this into account we end up £487 better off for the year. It's not much, but it's going in the right direction.
Looking ahead, if we can maintain our fundraising income this year, and with a small increase in giving, we should manage to stay in a healthy financial position.
