Notes to the accounts as at 30 September 2025
1. Basis of Accounting
These accounts have been prepared on the Receipts and Payments basis in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
2. Nature and Purpose of Funds
!
General Funds are monies which at the discretion of the Vestry may be used for the furtherance of the objects of the church. The Vestry maintains a single unrestricted account for the day-to day running of the Church,
There is currently one restricted fund which is held for specific purposes. The Macdonald Bequest The MacDonald Bequest is for the sole use of St John's on its property and day to day expenses. The St John's Rectory Fund has been redesignated as a Designated Fund rather than Restricted. The income from The St John's Rectory Fund (invested by the Diocese) is used with the general funds; the use of capital is restricted by the Diocesan trustees.
Discretionary funds are held within general funds.
3. Trustees Remuneration and Expenses
None of the Trustees (Vestry members) received remuneration in respect of their position as Vestry Members.
4. Property
The Vestry considers it inappropriate to include a figure for the chuch buildings in the fiancial statements as these are vested in a separate body of trustees.
The church Buildings are insured for £7,320,000 and £3,330,000 respectively.
The rent and council tax for the Brownside Road Rectory are paid from the St John's Rectory Fund held by the Diocese. Units are sold from the SEC UTP to fund these costs.
