NEWLANDS SOUTH CHURCH OF SCOTLAND
Tru8tee8' Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
The Trustees present the annual report and accounts for Newlands South Church of Scotland (the
Charity) for the year ended 31 De￿mber 2025
1. Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
Since 1 January 2019, the Congregation of Newlands South Church has been governed according
lo the terms of the Unitary Constitution of the Church of Scotland. The Church of Scotland's
Unitary Constitution is a modern governance model where the Kirk Session (local church elders)
holds authority over all aspects of a congregation's life-spiritual (pastoral carel and temporal
(finance, property, vision)-replacing older models that separated these roles into distinct boafds,
allowing for greater flexibility and shared responsibility in a single governing body, also known
as quoad omni8.
Recrultment and Appointment of Trustees
Members of the Kirk Session are elders of the Church of Scotland.. chosén from members of the
congregation who have the appropriate abilities and skills and are tha Charity Trustees.
Newlands South Church has been officsally vac8nt for more than 3 years. However. during the
previous hyo years the incumbent minister was ill and unable to fully fulfil his duties. This situation
has caused considerable financial expenses for the congregation. We have had a number of
Interim Moderators (six to datel. The short-term nature of these appointments has also led to
difficulties in récruiting and the subsequent appointment of elders and trustees. However, we still
have sufficcient active elders to staff the required posts, in order to guarantee the effective and
efficient operation of all the requir8d positiorts and Committees.
Organisational Structure
The Kirk Session of Newlands South Church is the sole goveming body, responsible for everything
from property and finance to pasloral care and spiritual vision. Under this model, all membors of
the Kirk Session of NSC serve as the charity trustees for the congregabon, ensuring compliance
with the Charities and Trustee Investmenl (Scotland) Act 2005 To manage the workload, the Kirk
Session delegates specific tasks to sub<ommittees {e.g. finance, property, pastoral carel. This
allows non-elders lo participate in congregational managemenl while keeping final decision-
making power with the Kirk Session. All aspects of current church life are covered by the relevant
Committ6es. The Committee slruGlure 15 reviewed annually or as required.
2. Objectives and Activities
The Church of Scotland is Trinilarian in doctrine, Refomied in tradition and Presbyterian in polity.
It exists 10 glorify God and to work for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom throughout the world.
As a national Church, it acknowledges a distinctive call and duty to bring the ordinances of religion
to the people in every parish of Scotland through a lerrilorial ministry. 11 co-operates with other
Churches in various ecumenical bodies in Scotland and beyond.
Newlands South Church, Glasgow (NSCI is a congregation ofthe Church of Scouand situated on
the south-side of the city in a residential area.

For mor8 than 126 years, Nevland$ South Church (NSC) has stood as a visible ￿ntre of failh,
worship, and community life on the south side of the city of Glasgow. Our objectives and activities
are not a stati¢ slalement but a living Journey-they a￿ rooted in the radical love of Jesus and
expressed in action, partnership. and hope for the world. These are not the end oflhe
journey they are the beginning.
The world has Changed and so have our objectives and activities. Once, churches sent
missionaries across the seas to Sha￿ the gospel in distant lands. Today, the mission field is right
here-in our streets, workpS8ces, and homes. Wherever people are longing for hope, truth, and
love, that is where Ihe majority of our activities happen. However, NSC still supports mission
abroad, through our links with Tabeetha School in Jaffa. Israel.
Many people around us have not rejected Jesus-they simply have not met Him yet. That is wheie
we come in. At Newlands South Church INSC). we believe our mission is not for a chosen few bul
for all of us. Ordinary disciples, cafrying extraordinary hope into everyday encounters. From one-to.
one conversations lo communily-wide initiatives, we are called to bring Christ's light wherever we
go.
This is part of NSC'S DNA. For 126 years, we have shown up with open hands and open hearts..
serving our community, partnering with others, and speaking the name of Jesus with courage and
joy. That legacy continues today. Our church is driven by teams covering everything from pastoral
care to stewardship, finance to property lo name but a few. Different roles, one direction.. building
a church bold in mission, rooted in love, and ￿ntred on making disciples who make disciples.
Our Mission (Objective8 and Activities)
We are here to live out the radical love of Jesus Christ. At NSC, we believe church should be
aulh8ntic. Spiril-filled, and active in the world. We exist to proclaim the gospel, nurture disciple$,
and bring hope to those people right in front of us. No prelence, no jargon just the transforming
power of faith in action. We are proud to be part of the Churth of Scotland's shared vision in the
form of the present Mission Plan, embodying the Five Marks of Mission in ways that are both
faithful lo tradition and bold for the future.

Bulldings:
Our church buildings were assessed, through the national AMBA suryey conducted in 2023, as a B
{for disposal) This assessment (unjust and unmerited, in our opinion) has caused us greal upset,
restricted our future and our way fO￿ard and been very costly for the congregation. The Fabric
Committ88, via delegation of the Kirk Session, continues to Challenge this a8sessment and is at
present gathering evidence through several varied, detailed surveys, to present to the Property
Committee and PMP Review Committee of Glasgow Presbytery in FebrLJary 2026. The terms of
reference of these surveys have been determined by the Buildings Officer of Glasgow Presbytery.
A decision on the future of our building8 will be made by Glasgow Presbytery in March 2026.

4. Financial Review
Income:
Total donations. before legacies, increased this year by 2% £2,179. In 2024 our income reduced
by 70h £9,433.
There was a modest increase in Congregational Giving overall to £106,638. (2024: £104,459).
This increase was the result of an increase in Grfi Aid Tax Recovery to £19,SS2 (2024: £14,110)
which compensated for the drop in regular offerings
Hall Rental income increased to £35,551 (2024". £33,646). This income reflects the continued
extensive use made of our halls by our local community. During 2025 we invoiced over 2,000
hours usage and provided a further 650 hours free of charge to charities and our congregatioal
groups.
Interest receipts decreased to £6,508 (2024: £6,838).
We received £375 in Legacy Income (2024: £21,000). Over the last 10 years we have r￿1Ved
regular Legacy income of around £20.000 from our members. V￿th a particularfy generous
donation in 2023 of £100,000. However, the continuing uncertainty regarding our future is
impacting the stated intentions of a number of our members, and is a rause for COn￿M.
Expendlture:
Our unrestricted exFerKliiure decreased by 7% to £1f)0.380. (2024: £172,405).
Most unrestricted cost centres increased signtticantly. largely due to the general infiationary
pressures. In particular-
C8nlral Costs including our Cost of Ministy increased by 15.2% to £73.180 {2024: 5.33%
£63.518)
Insurance costs rose by 21% to £9.740 (2024: £8053)
Energy costs for the year rose by 37.5% to £19.084 (2024: £13,879)

Cleaning and Hygiene Costs increased as we took action to ensure that our upgraded facilities
are maintained. We now have contfa¢ts in place for door mats, hygiene units, and waste
ollection. We have also increased our Gleaning hours. In total we spent £8,034 (2024..
£3,533)
Restricted funds held centrally in the Consolidated Fabric Fund were used to cover one-off energy
and fabric Costs, £4,873 was spent on our previous gas suppliels final bill, which they had laken
so long lo finalise. £14,167 was spent on fabric activrties.. Roof and Grounds Sutveys., Guttering
Work,. Basement Flooring ReplaGemenl', and the movement of our Defibrillator to the outside of
our building. In total our Restricted Funds spending decreased over the year by 17% (2025..
£19,375 2024.. £23,399)
Overviow:
Despite the high level of concern and Un￿rtainlY around our future, our finances remain robust.
Once the Presbytery Plan for our cluster is finalised, we inlend. if appropriate, to purchase a
modern, fuel-efficient property. In the interim the funds from the sale of the manse in 2024
{£748,0391 remain, in our name, in the Genlral Consolidated Fabric Fund. This year, these funds
generated £34,752 interest (2024.. £32,929). After eX￿ndItUre during the year of £18,291, there
was a closing balance of £49,390 in the associated revenue fund.
In addition to these capital funds, following our net outgoings of £12,742 during the year, we
ended 2025 with local funds of£151.919 (2024.. £164,661).
5. Reserves Policy
The level of reseNes is reviewed annually when the budget for the next twelve months is
considered and approved by the Session. The policy of the Charity. insofar as is possible, is to
maintain sufficient reseNes for fabric purposes, to cover known items of maintenance and a
further sum as a contingency for unexpected ilems. In addition, the Charity seeks to mainlain
reserve lo enable the continu6d running of its activities in the event of a decline in inGoming
resources or an unexpected increase in expenditure. The SessionlFinance Committee reviews the
position as required and makes what adiustments to reserves are considered appropriate in the
circumstances.
6. Statement of Trustees, Responslbllltles
The Trustees must prepare financial stalemenls, which give sufficient detail to enable an
appreciation of the transactions of the Church during the financial year. The members of the
Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting remrds. which, on request, must reflect
the financial position of the Church at that lime. This must be done to ensure that the financial
statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotlandl Act 2005, the Charities
Accounts IS¢ollandl Regulations 2006 las amended) and the Regulations Anent Congregational
Finance approved by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 2016. They are also
responsible for $8fe9uarding the assets of the Church and must take reasonable steps for the
prevention andlor detection of fraud and other irregularities.
