Payments and Assets and Liabilities for Holy Trinity Church, Lisnaskea for the

Objectives and Activities
The Charitable purpose of the Church of Ireland is the advancement of the
Christian religion. The principal function of Holy Trinity Church, Lisnaskea is to
support the advancement of the Christian religion by promoting, through the
work of Holy Trinity Church, Lisnaskea, 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, Holy Trinity Parish has custody of property and records, materials and
artefacts of significance to cultural and religious heritsge, the maintenance of
which is undertaken by the Select Vestry of Holy Trinity Parish Church.
Achievement, Performance and Public Benefit
Purpose I: The expression of the precepts of the Christian religion through the
engagement with the general public and in particular with the disadvantaged,
the sick, the elderly and the young is a public benefit. This can be measured
and evidenced through increased social integration and pastoral care delivered
at the point of need.
The direct benefit of participation in Church life includes
The enjoyment of public worship- since Covid regulations have been
relaxed, services of Morning Prayer are held weekly on a Sunday with
Holy Communion being administered on the first Sunday of the
month. The Rector continues to share a sermon weekly with
parishioners through 'Whatsapp' A monthly service of Holy
Communion, to facilitate those who cannot easily access the church
building, has been re-instated using the Trinity Hall. Other Annual
Services such as The Annual Remembrance Service for the local

community were held. Services of Holy Matrimony and Funerals were
held as the need arose
The giving and receiving of pastoral ministry through visiting the sick
and infirm either in hospital or at home has re-commenced as well as
in times of need such as a family death or time of crisis.
(iii) Improved understanding of the values relating to civic engagement,
community cohesion and providing a bridge between diverse groups
the Parish halls are regularly used by local groups in the Community
for weekly meetings or to hold an event. The groups using the halls
cover a diverse range of activities including those to do with health,
exercise and sport, leisure activities, heritage and are attended by
people of all ages from the very young to the more mature. During
the summer months a Parish Walk was held and in the autumn time a
musical evening was held in the Church building open to all the local
community with proceeds going to the Ioc31 Community Playgroup.
(iv) The Parish continues to sponsor 5 children from overseas through
money received on one particular Sunday per month and continues
to support local and national charities with money received from
parishioners through freewill, annual and harvest offerings.
Parishioners support the annual shoebox appeal and donate food
items for the local foodbank.
Improved educational outcomes through the Church's ministry of
teaching- Sunday School has re-commenceG' on the first and third
Sundays of the month with parents assisting the rector in this and fun
events have also been provided for the children.
(v)
The wider benefit to the public of these activities will outweigh any detriment
arising in the course of Christian outreach. Any private benefit arising out of
the fulfilment of our Christian ministry or to lay staff is essential to the
fulfilment of the purpose of the advancement of religion. No Trustee receives
remuneration, reward or other private benefit for carrying out their Trustee
responsibility.
The Trustees have put in place strong policies to mitigate any potential harm to
anyone partaking in Church activities or using the halls and have a child
protection policy in place under the control of our Safeguarding Trust
Committee. In order for these activities to take place, the Trustees ensure that
the buildings are well maintained and meet the required safety standards for
the community to use.

Purpose 2: The direct benefits flowing from the purpose include the provision
of archive records, public enjoyment of cultural and historical buildings and
artefacts such as church plate, furnishings and materials as well as an overall
improved appreciation of longstanding Christian heritage.
This is.demonstrated through ongoing provision of access to records and the
use made of these records in, for example, research and genealogy, through
conservation efforts in respect of records, property and artefacts and the
subsequent use of our materials by wider society. There is no harm arising
from the purpose. The beneficiaries are the general public. No private benefit
is received by Trustees fulfilling their Trustee responsibilities in respect of
these records, buildings or artefacts but in the course of conservation and to
make these accessible to the public. The engagement of professional staff and
services is essential but incidental to the fulfilment of the purpose so that with
continued maintenance the public can be assured of our continued Christian
heritage and ensure that the buildings will be available and in good condition
for future generations.
The Parish has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for
Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit to ens4.re that the activities
entered into during the year have helped to achieve the parish's objectives and
activities, as well as providing public benefit.
Financial Review
Our total income in the year came to £101,171.06 and this was divided up into
£99,756.35 (unrestricted funds) and £1,414.71 (restricted funds). On the

The Trustees have a policy of holding sufficient unrestricted funds to cover
three months overheads.
The Trustees have reviewed the budgets for the year ahead and are satisfied

St
activities and that the financial statement for the year ended 31 December
2022 can be signed off as a going concern.

Fixtures and Fittings
The Church Building (and fixtures and fittings therein) and Graveyard are

The landlord of the Archdale Centre is the Diocesan Properties Committee and
Is provided rent free for the use of the parish. As a result, this building is not
recognised in the parish statement of assets and liabilities.
The Glebe House is recognised at cost, being the estimated value for rates of
the property at 31.12.22. No depreciation has been provided on the Glebe
House as the current estimated residual value is not less than its carrying value
and the remaining useful life currently exceeds fifty years.
The Trinity Hall was acquired/erected in 1999. It is a pre-fabricated building
with full planning approval. It is recognised at cost of acquisition. No
