Achievements, Performance & Public Benefit cont'd
Drop in
The Wednesday morning drop-in has continued throughout the year. It has been well attended by up to 14
people per meeting. We have tea and snacks and chat. There is no formal programme and the mostly
retired members seem to enjoy this informal approach.
Mission activity
The parish continues to support Cross-links Mission agency. We have a link with Andrew and Eunice Moody
who work in Uganda supporting the Church across the border in South Sudan. We also support a local
young per50n, Andrew Livingstone who is now working in a Baptist run Youth and Conference centre in
France. We support several local good causes such as a food bank in Omagh and Children's charity's with
food collections and toy collections at Christmas.
Up Keep of grounds and buildings
A team from the parish, under the supervision of the Glebe wardens take care of grass cutting, hedge
trimming etc.
Rectory The grounds of the rectory are maintained by a professional garden maintenance company.
The Rectory is in good condition.
Hall - Good Condition.
Church - Good condition. We now have a new, modern. toilet with disabled access and hot water which
will greatly improve access to the 19th Century Church. the graves in the adjacent churchyard and our
services and events.
Child Protection.
The parish follows the Church of Ireland child protertion policy, Safeguarding Trust.
Financial Review
A5 of December 2023, the parish is in a good position, free from debt and with a balance of £29,304 in the
general account and £6.977 in the fabric account.
The trustees hold reserves in the general account to ensure that obligations to the RCB and everyday
running costs can be met. The fabric account is maintained to cover maintenance costs of the grounds and
buildings. With historic buildings it is necessary to make provision for eventual substantial maintenance
costs, particularly for our 19th Century Church Building.
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 year ended
