## **Holy Trinity Church of Baddington** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective I January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The objectives of the Vestry on behalf of the congregation are to advance the mission of the Christian Church through worship, service and fellowship. The principal activities of the church are public worship, the spiritual development of its members, and pastoral care and Christian mission exercised in the wider community. It also supports a number of community based activities including the Bethany Care Van, Lammermuir Larder, Home Start East, Keep the Heid Mental Health Cafe, Haddington Care Home, Christian Aid and links with Knox Academy. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Investment Policy and Performance** 

Investments are held in the Scottish Episcopal Church Unit Trust Pool (UTP). The investment objectives of the UTP, which accords with that of the Vestry, is to earn a return on assets, over the long term, sufficient to maintain an income stream to unit holders and an increase in capital value at least to protect the value of funds invested in real terms. During the year the value of the fund units increased by 9.2% (2024: increase of 12%). 

## **Risk Management** 

The Vestry reviews on a regular basis the major risks to which the Church is exposed, and systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks. The principal risks faced by the Vestry lie in the performance of investments and operational risks from a potential decline in congregational giving is monitored carefully by the Vestry. 

The Vestry consider variability of investments returns to constitute a financial risk. This is mitigated by investing in the Scottish Episcopal Church Unit Trust Pool (UTP) that has a diversified ethical investment portfolio. 

The operational risk from a potential decline in congregational giving is of great concern to Vestry for the Church to continue to pursue its ministry. The Vestry monitor closely congregational numbers and associated contributions to ensure the stability of funding arising from congregational giving. 

The Vestry take great care of its' properties. A qualified surveyor reviews the state of each of them every five years as part of the Quinquennial Review. Findings are acted on by the Vestry on a priority basis under the supervision of two Vestry members who have specific responsibility for property matters.

## **Holy Trinity Church of Haddington** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

The past year has been one of achievement and enjoyment and also consolidation. The community of faith continues to support each other and enjoy each other's company, a reality which is precious and should not be undervalued. This is supported by the joy of regularly welcoming new people to worship with us and often deciding to join our family. Anyone who comes through our doors is greeted with genuine interest and care and, if they wish, included in our activities. This fellowship is also supported by our monthly Soup and Sweet lunches run by willing teams of volunteers. 

This past year there has been a focus on property maintenance. The new boiler is working well, but the pipes needed a major overhaul in order to stop them leaking. It took many months of searching to find from Dumbarton who could fix rather than replace the old pipework. This work was successfully completed, and we hope that the heating will service the church for many years to come. 

After last year's Lammermuir festival it was discovered that our dais, which had been made many years ago needed replacing. This was completely remade by a local joiner who continues to support us and do the smaller jobs about church and our buildings. 

During the year we have managed to achieve some significant jobs which needed doing. The altar fall of Rublev's icon of the Trinity was made some years ago - and the colours had faded, and it was in desperate need of restoration. This was done with the skilled help of a local restorer, . The result is an altar fall which hopefully will last for another long time. Also, we investigated the origin of the large painting of Christ which is hung on the balcony. We re-discovered that it was painted by , a local Edinburgh artist, although no-one knew how it had come to us. We had the whole painting cleaned of the dirt and grime of the last 30 years including the effect from the fire which had burned Holy Trinity. It took three days for , who was a fine art conserver to clean and restore it to its original state. These two projects were partly funded by donations from members of Holy Trinity. 

After much thought Holy Trinity have begun the journey of building an extension at the West end of the church - between the church and the Rectory. This will hold more toilets which are desperately needed. It may also hold a small meeting room which could be used for Sunday School. This process is long and is anticipated to last two years. We have engaged an architect and begun the feasibility survey. 

We have enjoyed our usual services and groups this year. There doesn't seem a spare month without something happening! Last year the Stable Service attracted the largest congregation we have ever had - it was standing room only including the gallery. If this continues, we may have to consider how to welcome and handle such large numbers of people. 

Holy Trinity this year continues to fund raise for those less fortunate than us. For the Christmas collections we raised money for Redwoods and Save the Children; we have raised money for Christian Aid, Mission to Seafarers and the Bishop's Lent Appeal which was to Abraham's Children. We also collected c£300 for the Bishop's Retirement offering as Bishop John retired. Our Harvest contribution went to Lammermuir Larder and Toy Sunday provided for the children oflocal prisoners. Holy Trinity folk remain generous and motivated when thinking of others. 

We look forward to another positive year and give thanks for each other and all the blessings God has gifted us. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial Review** 

The income and expenditure of the Church and Trinity Centre are detailed on pages 18 and 19. Net income exceeded expenditure by £2,657 (2024: Expenditure exceeded income by £35,629). There was an increase in the value of investments of £19,538 (2024: £29,182) and the resulting surplus of £22,195 has been added to the closing reserves. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Vestry has considered the reserves required and have taken into account their current and future liabilities. The Vestry's reserve policy is to maintain reserves so that cash and investment income is sufficient to meet at least three months normal operating costs and any other committed expenditure. The total free reserves at 31 August 2024 were £364,626. The bank and cash balances held at 31 August 2025 were £67,965. The Vestry is satisfied that the reserves are sufficient to meet this policy.

## **Holy Trinity Church of Haddington** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt, and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measure reliably. 

Congregational giving is accounted for when received. Donations, legacies and similar income are accounted for when Holy Trinity becomes entitled to the income and a reliable estimate of the amount to be received can be made. Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

Donations nominated for special purposes are credited to a specific restricted fund. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. The Church is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure is shown gross of irrecoverable VAT. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

- Trinity Centre Improvements Straight line over 50 years - Furnishings & Equipment 10% on reducing balance and 5% on cost 

Equipment and furnishings purchases are normally capitalised but items of little value or having a short life expectancy are written off to revenue in the year of purchase. 

The Church, Trinity Centre (excluding improvements) and Rectory are not shown at any value in the Balance Sheet as the original costs are unknown. The properties are owned by the Church and kept fully insured. General repairs, maintenance to the Church, the grounds, the Rectory and the Trinity Centre are written off when incurred. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** - **continued** 

## **Fund accounting** 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

Employees are eligible to join the Scottish Episcopal Church Pension Fund which is a non contributory defined benefit scheme with benefits based on :final pensionable salary. Holy Trinity is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets of the Fund and so **it** accounts for its contributions as is if the scheme was a defmed contribution scheme.

Employees are eligible to join the Scottish Episcopal Church Pension Fund which is a non contributory defined benefit scheme with benefits based on final pensionable salary. Holy Trinity is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the Fund on a consistent and reasonable bases and so accounts for its contributions as if the scheme was a defined benefit scheme. The Rector is a member of the Fund and others employed by the Scottish Episcopal Church (SEC) are also members. Contributions are levied to the Pension Fund by SEC on the basis of the level of salary paid to the Rector. The contribution rate for the year under review was 22%, the rate based on the recommendations of the Fund's Actuary. There were no contributions or liabilities outstanding at 31 August 2025 in relation to Trinity employees.
