The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the General Assembly Regulations for Congregational Finance, The Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and Accounting and Reporting by Charities, Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland as per SORP 2019.

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. It cooperates with other Churches in various ecumenical bodies in Scotland and beyond.

Club 170 continued serving free food to the homeless and needy people in the community in the Gateway Hall. The foodbank continued to provide food to those unable to afford to buy food basics for themselves and their families.

The Minister and Members of John Ross Memorial Church for the Deaf continued with services in the Gateway Hall twice a month, on the first and third Sundays of the month. During 2024 the congregation of John Ross Memorial joined the congregation of Queen’s Park Govanhill to share communion services on three occasions.

The having been appointed Interim Moderator until 31st December 2023 stood down, being appointed as Interim Minister from 1st January. Following the Kirk Session vote by secret ballot on the proposed linkage with a view to union with Clincarthill as per the Presbytery Plan which took place on 24th July 2024, a congregational meeting was held on the 28th July where the congregation was informed of the result of the vote, which was in favour of the linkage leading to union, but against accepting the incumbent minister of Clincarthill as minister of the linked or united charge. Following the congregational meeting the

Clincarthill Kirk Session informed Glasgow Presbytery that they were not prepared to continue any association with Queen’s Park Govanhill unless the incumbent minister was accepted as minister of the united charge and therefore, following QPG session vote they were of the view that the Presbytery Plan as proposed could not be implemented.

The situation was referred to The Presbytery Planning Review Committee who have suggested a number of options. Currently QPG Session is pursuing possible links with Pollokshields as an alternative future which may lead to permission to call a Minister.

continued her secondment to Queen’s Park Govanhill 2 days a week to provide additional pastoral support in the absence of a dedicated minister.

Achievements and Performance .

The holiday club took place during school holidays with food, arts and crafts, games and a series of sports coaching taster sessions, funded by Glasgow City Council.

The halls accommodation was well used by many diverse community groups.

The monthly magazine continued to communicate all church information to members and the wider community. Copies continue to be provided either by email or the church website in addition to hard copies being delivered to members who do not have access to the internet or who request them. The congregation formally employs an organist and a halls facilitator/caretaker /cleaner. The talents and time of many members are employed in a variety of ways throughout the year as shown on note 14 of the accounts. Our giving for others benefitting a number of diverse organisations and charities is shown on note 16 of the accounts.

We currently have 14 members who actively participate regularly in worship through scripture reading and leading prayer during Sunday Morning Worship.

Our Fellowship Group meets monthly and organises activities and events to encourage all on a journey of Faith and to build friendship and become involved.

The Nurture Group works to maintain pastoral contact with all members, particularly the unwell or frail.

Our Tech team continues to develop on line ministry through live streaming of services and updating our Facebook page and responding to on line contacts.

Our Musical director continues to develop and widen our repertoire in worship. Recently we have purchased copies of the new supplement God Welcomes All.

Financial Review

Gift Aid claims that could not be submitted due to lack of access to HMRC website in 2023 were submitted in 2024. Claims were submitted for the period from 1st October 2022 to 4th April 2023; 5th April 2023 to 30th September 2023; and from 1st October 2023 to 30th September 2024. Funds were received for all these claims in full during 2024 amounting to £28,260.58 in total.

Following flooding of Basement causing breakdown of boilers and heating system successful insurance claims were made, plus successful application to General Trustees for monies to cover uninsured losses from the consolidated Fabric Fund held by General Trustees on behalf of Queen’s Park Govanhill. These funds are the proceeds from the sale of the Govanhill Trinity Building in Daisy Street and The Manse at 32 Queen Mary Drive. The general Trustees deduct 10% of the total for Central funds. After this deduction and contribution from General Trustees to repair costs there is currently some £481,944 in the Consolidated Fabric Fund, as shown in The Appendix to the accounts.

The General Trustees are in the process of devolving responsibility for the management of funds to Presbyteries or individual congregations with the suggestion that they be invested in a Church of Scotland Investment Account. In anticipation of the implementation of the Presbytery Plan leading to permission to call a minister it may be prudent to invest in a deposit account in the event a new Manse may need to be purchased.

Risk Management

Risks to the congregation are financial. Though we have access to funds from the Consolidated Fabric Fund, hold investment Funds with Brooks MacDonald and have received backdated Gift Aid money from HMRC, we will need funds to purchase a New Manse during 2025, will need to cover a potential significant reduction in rental from the Mobile Mast when agreement on a fair rent is made. We also have to take cognisance of the increasing ongoing cost of maintaining our Victorian building with a reducing membership.

The safeguarding of children and vulnerable people is a high priority for the Congregation and a safeguarding coordinator is in place to be a point of contact for any concerns and to ensure all safeguarding matters are properly addressed and legal obligations fulfilled, to which end trustees are currently undergoing safeguarding training as it becomes available and a safeguarding panel has been formed.

A data protection officer is also in post to ensure we conform to all requirements under data protection rules.

Reserves Policy

It is the Trustees’ policy to try to hold reserves of approximately six months expenditure including designated funds. At the year end the Church held unrestricted cash funds of £54,617 of which £7,513 has been designated for the Fabric Fund. In addition, the Church held unrestricted investment funds of £198,249. The Church also held £71,481 of restricted and endowment funds which have been provided for the purposes specified in note 15.

Structure, Governance and Management

The congregation is a registered charity, number SC001575, and is administered in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Constitution (Unitary Form) and is subject to the Acts and Regulations of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

Members of the Kirk Session are 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 Glasgow Presbytery.

The Kirk Session is chaired by the minister and meets formally at least five times a year and is responsible for spiritual and temporal affairs within the Church under the Unitary Constitution. Certain responsibilities were delegated to teams and new groups have been formed from March 2022 to carry out different aspects of the church’s work including fabric, finance and technology.

Interim Moderators have been appointed pending the implementation of The Glasgow Presbytery Plan which has allocated 2.5 full time ministerial posts to four congregations including Queen’s Park Govanhill. The plan having been approved by the Faith and Nurture Forum of the Church of Scotland is yet to be fully implemented, and is currently under review by the implementation and review committees of Glasgow Presbytery and therefore we are unable to proceed with finding a new minister to lead the congregation. The Current Interim Moderator is Rev Jerry Eve.

Trustees’ Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements 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 charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which shows a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and applications of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

Observe the method and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;

Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information on the congregation’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report

to the Trustees of Queen's Park Govanhill Parish Church

for the year ended 31 December 2024

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 8 to 19.

Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and independent 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 the 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 our examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. 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

  2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Date: 5[th] April 2025

Queen's Park Govanhill Parish Church of Scotland Year ended 31st December 2024 Accounting Policies The principal accounting policies, which have been applied consistently in the current and preceding year in dealing with items which are considered material to the accounts, are set out belo

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102)amended on 5th October 2018 and effective from 1st January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended

Fund accounting

Funds are classified as either restricted funds or unrestricted funds, defined as follows. Restricted funds are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with their authority or created through legal processes, but still within the wider objects of the charity. Endowment funds are funds which have been given on the condition that the original capital sum is not reduced, but the income thereof is used for the purpose defined in accordance with the objects of the charity. Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. This designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the trustees' discretion to apply the fund.

Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) the general volunteer time of congregation members is not recognised. On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised as expenditure in the period of receipt.

Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Fixed Assets The charity has the right to occupy and use for its charitable objects certain tangible fixed assets, including the Church, Halls, vested in the Church of Scotland General Trustees. and the Manse, vested in local trustees. No consideration is payable for the use of these assets. Premises at Daisy St have not been incorporated in Balance Sheet. Expenditure incurred on the repair and maintenance of these assets is charged as resources expended in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which the liability arises. All tangible fixed assets costing in excess of £20,000 having a value to the charity greater than one year, other than those acquired for specific purposes, are capitalised. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis to write off the cost or initial value, less residual value, of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. Fixtures, fittings and office equipment 10 years Motor vehicles 5 years Investments Fixed asset investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. Unrealised gains and losses represent the difference between the market value at the beginning and end of the financial year or, if purchased in the year, the difference between cost and market value at the end of the year. Realised gains and losses represent the difference between the proceeds on disposal and the market value at the start of the year or cost if purchased in the year. Taxation Queen's Park Govanhill Parish Church is recognised as a charity for the purposes of applicable taxation legislation and is therefore not subject to taxation on its charitable activities. The charity is not recognised for VAT and resources expended therefore include irrecoverable input VAT. 10
