## **Objectives and Activities**
The charitable purpose of the Church of Ireland is the advancement of religion.
The principal function of Kilcronaghan Parish Church is to support the advancement of the Christian religion by promoting, through the work of Kilcronaghan 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, Kilcronaghan 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 Kilcronaghan Parish Church.
## **Achievements, Performance & Public Benefit**
Kilcronaghan Parish Church is under the incumbency of the Reverend Rosemary Diffin. As a church we provide a weekly service of Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer and a once per month service of Holy Communion. We also provide for baptisms, weddings, funerals and pastoral support.
We began the year with the first of our Big Breakfasts. The speaker was Jim Stewart who told us his life story. In March we had a Daffodil Tea to raise funds for the rector’s mission trip to Peru in June. During Lent we had a Lenten service every Wednesday and special services during Holy Week. Our dawn service at the old church on Easter Sunday was followed by a parish breakfast in the hall.
Our prayer fellowship meets on a Wednesday evening followed by a Bible study
In June a special afternoon tea party was held in the grounds of the rectory. We were entertained by Tamlaghtmore Silver Band. Bouncy castles were provided for the entertainment of the children.
The Connect group continues to meet every Thursday morning – a community coffee morning followed by a talk or activity one week and on alternate weeks a community soup lunch. An excursion took place to Galgorm Garden Centre in December.
All our other organisations continued to meet –Coffee and Yarn, BB, Little Acorns, the Bowling Club
The Sunday School excursion took place in June.
In October we had a Gospel Concert. A big breakfast was held to raise funds for Bishop Given Gaula and in November we had another breakfast for the Poppy Appeal.
Our usual Harvest and Carol services took place and some special songs of praise services when we invited local bands to accompany the hymn singing. Evening services resumed with monthly café church, songs of praise, service of the Word and a communion service.
The GFS restarted with a Big Night back and in October a Lite Party was held.
Several special services were held during the year including the Royal British Legion’s Remembrance Day service.
Items of food were collected during the year and given to the local food bank.
The prayer fellowship resumed in September and this was followed by a number of different Bible courses.

## **Financial Review**
- The results for the year are set out on page 7, which the Trustees consider to be satisfactory
- The reserves of the Parish are held for the advancement of its charitable purpose, other than restricted reserves which are held for a designated purpose – see note 13
## **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 31 December 2024 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, 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**
The Rector is not paid directly by the Parish. A monthly assessment is paid to the Diocese which comprises Stipend, Locomotory Allowance, Employer’s National Insurance and Employers Clergy Pension Contributions.
## **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 2024 the Select Vestry met 5 times during the year and the average attendance was 72%.

## **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 actives 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

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Kilcronaghan Parish Church**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 2 to 16.
## **Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner**
As the charity’s Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Commission under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act.
My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity Trustees concerning any such matters.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
1. That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 63 of the Charities Act
2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records
3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.

## **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024**
## **1. Accounting policies**
Set out below are the principal accounting policies which have been adopted in the compilation of the Receipts and Payments Account and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities
- **(a) Receipts and Payments Account**
- All items of income and expenditure included within the Receipts and Payments Account have been accounted for on a cash receipts basis.
## **(b) Statement of Assets and Liabilities**
## **(i)** _**Assets retained for the Parish’s own use**_
The assets of the Parish, retained for its own use comprise:-
- Church Buildings and Graveyard
- Parish Hall
- Rectory
- Old Rectory
- Glebe land
The Church Building and Graveyard are deemed to be Heritage assets as defined by the Charities SORP (FRS102). These Heritage assets are not included in the statement of assets and liabilities 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 Hall is not included in the statement of assets and liabilities 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 Rectory is valued at domestic rateable value as at 1 January 2017
The Old Rectory is valued at cost price when purchased from RCB approximately 20 years ago.
The Glebe land has been recognised at a value which the select Vestry deem to represent the estimate fair value of the property at 1 January 2017.
No depreciation has been provided on these buildings as the current estimated residual value is not less than its carrying value and the remaining useful life currently exceeds 50 years.
Subsequent expenditure on these assets is recorded at cost.
## **ii) Investments**
Fixed asset investments comprising investment properties, investments in equities (ordinary shares) and investment in RCB/CIT Unit Trusts are initially recorded at cost and are then subsequently stated at fair value at each year end date. Investments in unquoted investments are recorded at cost and are assessed annually for impairment.
