2. Trustees Annual Report
2.1 Structure, Governance and Management
The Church is administered in accordance with the terms of the Model Deed of Constitution.
2.2 Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
Members of the Kirk Session are the charity trustees. The Kirk Session members are the elders of the church and are chosen from those members of the church who are considered to have the appropriate gifts and skills. The Minister, who is a member of the Kirk Session, is elected by the congregation and inducted by Presbytery.
The Congregational Board is appointed from within the congregation and members of the congregation are invited to nominated individuals who are believed to have the skills and commitment to contribute to the management affairs of the Church. Board members are then appointed at the Annual Stated Meeting and serve for three years after which they can seek re-election.
2.3 Organisational Structure
The Kirk Session and Board are chaired by the Minister, both meeting five times in a year and more often if required. The Kirk Session is responsible for spiritual affairs whilst the Congregational Board is responsible for the temporal affairs of the congregation. Certain responsibilities are delegated to the Finance Committee and the Fabric Committee as appropriate
2.4 Objectives and Activities The Church of Scotland is Trinitarian in doctrine, Reformed in tradition and Presbyterian in polity. It exists to 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 territorial ministry. Following Covid-19 pandemic, organised events are fewer. The knitting group remains busy. 2.5 Achievements (a) Achievements In 2024 the joint Remembrance Sunday Service was held in Strathbogie Drumblade church. There were 397 Communicant members at the end of the year under review, 129 fewer than 2023. This was a result of a full and detailed review of the Roll of Communicant members. There were no weddings or baptisms during the year. Twelve funerals were conducted by the Minister. Two Communion Services were held during the year. Most members are now elderly and increasingly unable to contribute to the life of the Church. The congregation continue to contribute to the North Aberdeenshire Foodbank throughout the year. (b) Financial Review The financial position of the Church has been reconciled with: • Virgin Money bank statement dated 31 December 2024;
Page 4 of 23 Huntly Cairnie Glass Church of Scotland
-
Funds Held on Behalf of the Congregation by the Church of Scotland General Trustees 2024 statement (Appendix 1)
-
Church of Scotland Investor Certificate 2024 statement.
The congregational principal source of income for the year was regular monthly standing orders, weekly offerings, and investment income.
With most people in the congregation being retired and on fixed incomes, the Church’s finances continue to be a challenge. It has not proved to be practical to resume fundraising activities such as coffee mornings and silent auctions following the pandemic, but the once per week Thrift Shop provides a valuable social service whilst contributing to Church funds
2.6 Reserves Policy
It has previously been the Trustees’ policy to hold minimum reserves of approximately four months expenditure including unrestricted funds however the financial position of the congregation does not support the reserve policy and action is being taken to move towards achieving this as a sustainable policy.
At 31 December 2024 the Church held unrestricted cash funds of £2,797 of which £798 is designated for Fabric Funds. The Trustees do not consider there to be sufficient to enable the Church to run for the forthcoming years (2024/2025) which will require a complete review and update of its stewardship campaigns, building maintenance obligations and utility costs in the period up to and including eventual disposal of the Church and Hall currently scheduled to be complete by 31 December 2027.
Of note, the boundary wall project managed on our behalf by NENI Presbytery Building Office, has consumed £41,728 up to year end 2024. It is anticipated that a further £67,280 will be spent in 2025 and £13,000 in 2026. Funding is being provided from the Church Consolidated Fabric Fund.
At year end there are £133,976 funds held by the Church of Scotland General Trustees for the benefit of the Congregation as set out in Appendix 1 and £320,786 Congregation Investments managed by the Church of Scotland Investors Trust.
In order to maintain financial stability and meet its obligations the Congregational Board will review (2024/2025) its overall projection of financial liabilities up to and including eventual disposal of the Church and Hall and may need to call upon the funds held on the Congregations behalf.
2.7 Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The members of the Kirk Session/Congregational Board must prepare financial statements which give sufficient detail to enable an appreciation of the transactions of the Church during the financial year. The members of the Kirk Session are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which, on request, must reflect the financial position of the Church at that time. This complies with the format and content template provided by Church of Scotland.
This must be done to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Regulations Anent Congregational Finance approved by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 2007. They are also responsible for safeguarding
Page 5 of 23 Huntly Cairnie Glass Church of Scotland
the assets of the Church and must take reasonable steps for the prevention and/or detection of fraud and other irregularities.

3. Independent Examiner Report
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 3 to 16.
Respective responsibilities of trustees 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 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 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 unusual 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 the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than disclosed below*]
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended), and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended) have not been met, or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Date: 12 March 2026
- Please delete the words in brackets if they do not apply. If the words do apply set out those matters which have come to your attention.
