Chapter111 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 to the number of terms which may be served.
Oryanisational 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, any curate assistant ("the curate"), the church wardens,
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 another member of the clergy officiating in the parish.

importance to the parish, including deciding how parish funds are to be applied.

be convened at any time by the chairperson or the church wardens. In 2022 the Select Vestry met four
times during the year, and the average attendan￿ was 85 % .

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.
