PUBUC BENEFIT sfATEMENT
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland meets the public benefit requirement by providing benefit to its members and the general public
by making known the Christian Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ through the advancement of religion.
The dirert benefits which flow from the purposes of the Church include the gaining of an understanding in Christian beliets as set
out in the Bible and in the ChL¢rch's subordinate standards (the Westminster Confession of Fatth and the Shorter and Larger
Catechisms) leading to spiritual and moral development and opportunities for response to Bible teaching. In turn, this framework
leads to practical expressions of Chri5tiar¢ beliefs and standard5 Ln the local community such as through the care of those in need

Generally the above benefits are delivered locally by congregations and their members. or are facilitated through presbyteries or
are or8anised and delNered centrally. Local delivery is facilitated by central resource5 in almost all cases. Public access is made
known through the use of notice board5, printed material. press advertisement.websites. and social media or in other ways.
The benefrts are demonstrated through regular evaluation of the seThices and informal and ad-hoc feedback from members, their
families, and members of the public.
The purpose does not lead to harm. The only private benefit flowing frorn our purpose is related to Minister5. Mi55ionaries,
Deaconesses, Irish Mt55ion workers and Lay Agents who receive benefits as a result of their holding office or employment. However,
this is incidental and necessary in order to further our charitable purpose. There are no other private benefits. The benefi¢iaries of
this purpose are members, their families, other individuals that the Presbyterian Church in Ireland is in direct and indirect contact
with, the community in which pastoral services are provided and other communities throughout Northern Ireland. the Republic of
Ireland. and world-wide which benefit from our engagement with and support for both Christian and other secular organisations.

Statement us dlsclosure to our Independent auditor
In so far as the Trustees are aware at the time of approwng our trtsstee￿ annual report..
there is no relevant information, being infomation needed by the independent audttor in connection with preparing their
report, of which the charitvs independent auditor is unaware; ond
the Tru5tee5, having made enquiries of fellow Trustees and the chariWs independent auditor that they ought to have
individually taken, have each taken all steps that helshe 15 obliged to take as a trustee in order to make themselves aware of
any relevant information and to establish that the independentauditor is aware of that information.
GOING CONCERN
The activities of the congregation are dependent on ongoing contributions from its members. The Trustees are of the oplnlon that
the congregation has sufficient resources at the date of approval of these financial statements to meet tommitments which will
arise in the year from the date of signing this report and subject to the continuing SUPPOrt from members to fund on an ongoing
basis the congregation'5 currènt activities and other financral commitments.
RÉSERVES POLICY
The Trustees believe that the congregation should hold financial reserves because:
It has little endowment funding and is currently dependent for income upon donations from year to year which are subject to
review:
It requires protection against and the ability to continue operating despite unforeseen setbacks.ond
It requires the ability to be able to take advantage of change and opportunities to further its objettive5.
The Trustees have considered the level of unrestricted reserves that it is appropriate to hold taking account of current and ongoing
commitments. It 15 the policy of the Trustees to hold the equivalent of between three and six month5 operatin8 costs calculated and
reviewed annually. Reserves should be built up to the desired level in stages consistent with the chariws overall financial position
and its need to maintain and develop its charitable attivities.
The level of the general fund (excluding designated fund515tands at £90.77012023.. £72,773). With operating costs lon unrestricted
funds only) currently amounting to approximately £305,000 per year. thi5 would mean a target reserve balance of between £76,250
and £152,5CNJ. The reserves held are therefore within the Reserves Policy range The Trustees consider that the Current level of
reserves. taken together with the current level of income mean that the Chartws current level of reserve5 is adequate for its
requirements.
Details of the Charivs funds are shown in Note 15. An analysi5 of the Charitvs net assets between the fvnds is given in Note 13.
The Élders considèr that sufficient resources are held in an appropriate form to enable each fund to be applied in accordance with
any restriction imposed.
RISK REVIEW
The Trustees recognize their responsibility for the identification and management of risk.
The Trustees have implemented system5 and procedures to manage identified risks. The principal risks are in relation to the
likelihood of reputational damage and financial risks associated with the expeetation of ongoin8 financial support from rnembèrs.
These risk5 are rnitigated by the Trustees, and thè Congregational Committee, regularly monitorin8 the various activities of the
on8regation at stated meetings and by encouraging members in their regular giving.

Notes forniinE part of the Finan¢ial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2024
Accounting Policies
The prrncipal accounting policies adopted. judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the
financial statements are as follows:
Statement of compllance
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of
Recommended Prartice applicable to charities preparing their a¢counts in accordance with the Financial Reportlng
standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 (effective from 1st January 20151- (Charities SORP
IFRS10211, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act
2006 (insofar as this applies to the Charity).
Bloomfield Presbyterian Church meets the definition of a public benefFt entÉty under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are
initially reco8nised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accountlng pollcy note{sl.
Reconciliation with prev5ously Generally Accepted Accountlng Prartlce
In preparing the accounts. the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102
and the Charities SORP IFRS 1021 the restatement of comparative items was required.
No restatements were required.
Preparatlon of the accounts on a going concern basls
The Trustee5 are of the view that as the reserves of the charity are within the requirement of the charitys reserves poliry,
the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and on that basis the charrty is a going concern.
Revenue
Items of revenue are recognised and included Fn the accounts when all of the following crrteria are met:
the charity has entitlement to the funds-
any performance conditions attached to the itemls) of revenue have been rnet or are fully within the control of the
charity."
it Is probable that the revenue will be reteNed: and
the amount can be meaSU￿d reliably
Revenue receNed in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the crtteria for revenue recognition
are met.
Grnnts recelvoble
Grants receivable whith relate to the year are credited to revenue within the Ststement of Financial Actrvities, with
unspent balances being carried forward to subsequent years within the relevant fund.
Specific debts are recognised where approved grant expenditure exceeds grant revenue receNed to date.
Grant revenue relating to future periods is carried forward under payable5.
Interest recel¥able
Interest on funds held on (leposwt is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity..
this is normally upon notification of the Inte￿$t paid or payable by the Bank.
Fund accountin8
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the
general objective5 of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. The fund ¢omprises the
accumulated surpluses and deficits of unrestricted income and expenditure.
Restrirted funds are funds whrch are to be used in accordance with specific re5trirtions imposed by donors or which have
been raised by the charrty for particular purposes. The t05ts of administering such funds are charges against the specrfic
fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the frnan¢ial Statements.
Investment rn¢ome and gains are allooted to the appropriate fund.

Expenditure
Expenditure 15 recogni5ed once there is legal or constructive obliEation 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. Expenditure is classified
under the following activity headings:
Expenditure on raising funds comprises the costs of marketing and promoting the charity and its activities,.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs allocated to the performance of activities undertaken to
further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs-
Expenditure on other itern5 represents those items not falling into any other headtng.
Non Current Assets (Flxed Ass•ts)
Fixed Assets are stated at cost less ac¢umulatÈd depreciation.
The costs of minor additions or those costing below £5.000 are not capitalised.
Furniture, fvtures & Fittings
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected
useful life. which is estimated at 4 yea￿.
Plont & Machlnery
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value o* each asset over its expected
useful life. which is estimated at 7 year5.
Receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments
are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
i.io
CJ5h and cash equlvalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes bank deposit5, cash and short tem highly liquid investments with a short maturity of
three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
i.ii
Payables and provisions
Payables and provisions are recognised where the chartty has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will
probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or
estimated reliably. Payables and provisions are normally retognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any
trade discounts due.
Transltlon to FRS 102
The transition date was 1st January 2016.
There was no requirement to restate any comparative balances in making the transition to FRS 102.
