## **CORNERSTONE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Cornerstone Christian Fellowship is a charitable organisation originally founded in 1983 (with charitable status from 1984) and committed through it's mission, vision and values to provide a comprehensive range of supporting functions to a diverse range of social and business communities.  The vision of the church is to be a 'community within a community'. 

In 2024, our numbers increased due to some new people who have joined from another church in the town that unfortu closed.  It has been great to have new people join and have a positive impact in the church.  In the last quarter of the y appointed a new part time paid role of Pastoral Care Worker.  This person will take some of the pressure of the Pastor allow him to work on other areas to enable the church to grow. 

Our weekly Meeting Place, which is an outreach to people in the town who are looking for some company, continues to be successful and thrive.  Our weekly men's meet up is proving to be a real benefit.   Stronger relationships & mutual s has developed between those who attend. 

We conducted an adult baptism in the year with 4 people being baptised and was great to see people move on in their God.  The hospitality team organised a very successful 'fellowship meal' where a number of family and friends of peopl church attended.  It is envisaged that more of these kinds of events will be organised for 2025. 

With some funding from a grant, we were able to update our audio equipment, and we do have the ability to stream onl future date.  Each year we collect items and fill shoeboxes for children in other parts of the world & this year 300 boxed completed. 

Our Foodbank continues weekly to meet those in need especially just now with the cost of living.    During the year 1338 (2023 - 1632) food parcels were given out to individuals & families.   The Foodbank has continued to be well supported from individuals, churches and local businesses.  The individuals who started the Foodbank 10 years ag now retired from this role and another couple from the church will continue this invaluable work. 

Gifts were given from our Love Fund to several individuals who were in need & to a variety of charities both locally, nationally & internationally. 

## **Financial Review** 

Income, mainly in the form of tithes, offerings and donations from members, plus Income Tax reclaimed under Gift Aid, totalled £167,910 in the year (2023 - £210,211).  Overall this has decreased by 20% from last year. The value of payments in kind which represents the value of donated items given out as food parcels was £17k less due to the number of parcels decreasing by 294 (value £17.6k).  Restricted grant income was also down on last year by The unrestricted tithes & offerings are up by £3.3k on the previous year & above what was budgeted for. Donations in kind amounted to £79,557 (2023 - £96,802) so a decrease on the previous year. This figure is calculated on the number of food parcels given out (1,338) at the Foodbank multiplied by an average value of food items given (£60) less what was spent on groceries. 

Expenditure for the year was £173,869 (2023 - £194,715), most of which was direct costs in furtherance of the Fellowship's mission and objectives. The expenditure decreased by £20.8k in the year & most of it relates to restricted costs.  The Finance Team monitor the budgets against actuals on a regular basis and will take any corrective actions.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **Risk Management** 

The Leadership Team are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the charity.  A formal risk management policy will be developed.  The risks facing the church together with actions to mitigate these risks are discussed. 

The main risks that the Leadership Team have identified and the plans to manage those risks are:- 

Property - The Local Authority want to revamp the Town Centre and included in their 10 year plan for this means the demolition of the property.  This is in the very early stages of consultation with stakeholders and it is our understanding that the whole project is likely to take 10-15 years.  There is likely to be no impact within the next 3-5 years. 

Income - this did increase in 2024 by just over £3k from the previous year (unrestricted tithes & offerings). Each year the income is a challenge as we do have a higher percentange of older people.  There is a real challenge to keep the income at a sustainable level due to pressures on individuals and having less disposal income. Our income is monitored closely by the Finance Team and realistic budgets have been set for 2025 ensuring there is a balanced budget. 

Leadership - there is an ongoing recognition of the need to seek a way forward for the future succession of the role of Pastor within the Fellowship.  It is recognised that this needs to be resolved within the next couple of years  so there is a smooth transition period to having someone new. 

Meanwhile we will continue to build and strengthen the Fellowship though the  current Elders and Deacons & how to mentor others into these roles. This allows the church to have the potential to manage growth and sustain it for the future. 

## **Reserves** 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's expenditure which is a range of £19k & £38k. At the end of December 2024, the unrestricted reserves are £96.8k which represents 15 months with cash reserves being over 9 months held.  With the appointment of another member of staff this will reduce the amount of reserv for us to reach out to both the congregation and the wider community

## **CORNERSTONE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Leadership Team is responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the Leadership Team to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year. 

In preparing these accounts, the Leadership Team are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP: 

- make judgements and estimates that are responsible and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and 

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The Leadership Team is responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable it to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the provisions of the trust deed.  It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE LEADERSHIP TEAM OF CORNERSTONE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 1 to 15. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Leadership Team and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).  The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required undersection 44(1) (c) of the Act and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusal items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (a)   which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:- 

   - (i)    to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and 

   - (ii)   to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; 

   - have not been met; or 

- (b)   to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
