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 Congregational Board is appointed from within the congregation and members of the congregation are invited to nominate individuals who are believed to have the skills and commitment to contribute to the management affairs of the Church, to become members of the Board. Board Members are then appointed at the Stated Annual Meeting and serve for a period of three years after which they must seek re-election at the next Stated Annual Meeting. In February three new elders were ordained, Margaret Tannahill, Elizabeth Stenhouse and Karen More. In November our long serving Clerk to the Session, Professor Andrew Calder, retired from post after 11 years committed service. We are extremely grateful for all his rich insight, unwavering support and guidance to the Board and Session over these many years. We are fortunate that Mary Butler Sherriffs, a long standing member and Elder of the congregation accepted a unanimous nomination to be Session Clerk and was appointed on 1 November 2025. Further Adrienne Stewart agreed to support as deputy, thus giving us a strong and committed team for the future. ## **Purpose** 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 co-operates with other Churches in various ecumenical bodies in Scotland and beyond. ## **Organisational Structure** The Congregational Board is normally chaired by the minister and meets as often as required, typically six times in a year. Certain responsibilities are delegated to the Finance Committee and the Fabric Committee as appropriate. The Kirk Session which also meets as often as required, again typically six times a year, is responsible for spiritual affairs within the Church. ## **Objectives & Activities** The Church enjoyed regular worship led by our Minister, Neil Glover, supplemented by very able and thoughtful pulpit support. Communion was celebrated in both sanctuaries as well as Harvest Thanksgiving and Remembrance. We were pleased to welcome a small number of children to our worship on several sundays throughout the year and to host the local primary school Christmas service in December. We very much enjoyed hosting a full church for linkage services as well as joining together with the other churches in the Linkage for a joint service on the first Sunday of each month. We also joined with the Episcopal congregation of St. Andrews, Strathtay on all "fifth" Sundays in the year and joined with all the churches in the community for our annual service at St Mary's. Session and Board meetings were held regularly as also the Finance and Fabric Committees. Our focus for 2026 will be on our church at Logierait and the development of our plans for the building, including the improvement to access and the establishment of a Pilgrim Way, a project which we hope will involve the churches and the community of the Upper Tay valley from Fortingall to Dunkeld, building strong links across the wider community, celebrating the religious history of the area. The activities of the various groups (Guild, Coffee Group and Quilters) continue. During the year we agreed the use of the JKH by the local WRI for monthly meetings for a small rent. Links with the Primary School were maintained as was support for care homes and health services, local, national and international charities. Fundraising projects were well supported, as well as special collections for others and we continue to look for future opportunities. Page 2 of 10 **Grantully, Logierait & Strathtay Church of Scotland Trustees' Annual Report (cont.) Year ended 31 December 2025** ## **Achievements & Performance** Our services alternate monthly between Logierait & Strathay. At the end of the year our congregational roll was 112, with 10 adherents. Average weekly attendance of 25 was achieved . With the support of Historic Environment Scotland we held the annual service at St Mary's Pitcairn, with strong attendance from across all churches in the Upper Tay community. A variety of fundraising and social activities were held for the benefit of the wider community. The Church supported the Grandtully & Strathtay gala serving afternoon teas in the sunshine, and celebrated the advent of Christmas with a well attended supper and carol concert at Derculich. Our fundraising during the year also included our well established sponsored walk and a week operating the Aberfeldy Thrift shop, an opportunity to involve the wider community. Members of the congregation also supported the wider linkage efforts for Upper Tay Anti Poverty Support Group and other local charities. Our weekly Coffee Group and our retiring collections were used to support a range of charities for children, homeless, elderly and struggling families in the wider Perth & Kinross area. ## **Financial Review** Once again our principal regular source of income of £22,299 is through voluntary offerings, of which regular gift aid donations of £13,120 make up 59%, an increase of 6% on the previous year, with a further £4,349 added from tax reclaimed. Open Plate and Weekly Freewill Offerings totalled £3,855 up £861 on 2024. Other donations, including Weddings and Funerals, were down £1,447 at £975. Fundraising Events achieved income of £4,075, reflecting efforts and contributions from individuals, church groups and the wider membership. Collections within our Parish for other charities amounted to £800. Church group activities contributed £362 to income. Our total incoming resources for 2025 were £47,147, with total resources expended of £50,254, a deficit for the year of £3,108. General fabric and maintenance costs this year reduced, helped by SSE electricity refunds of £1,106 offsetting charges incurred. Key fabric costs were for guttering repairs at both churches, as well as essential damp repairs, ivy removal and painting at Logierait. Our Linkage costs increased to £7,655 in part to fund overdue maintenance work at the Manse in Aberfeldy. Funds to support our maintenance and refurbishment costs were drawn from our CFF Income Account, which provides us with an income to cover fabric, heat and light costs. We expect to make further drawdowns from this account early in 2026 to offset our Linkage contribution for the Aberfeldy Manse. Investment income of £9,330 was down on 2024. During the year Evelyn advised changes to their investment management servcie for smaller portfolios. The Finance Committee, with the support of the Board and Session, took the opportunity to reappraise our investment approach and agreed to move all our investments to COSIT, balancing our portfolio between growth, income and deposit funds. The Evelyn portfolio was realised for £146,912, which, with funds held on deposit in the capital account, allowed us to reinvest £148,274 with COSIT. The Trustees expect this will simplify our investment management and align us closer to COSIT ethical investment policies. The market valuation of our investment portfolio grew by £19,862 to £308,931 while our current assets, including funds held on deposit with GT Trustees totalled £23,418, giving a total value for our assets of £332,349. The Trustees are of the opinion that the membership generates sufficient income, together with our investment portfolio income, to meet our new Giving to Grow allocation within the Linkage. However we rely on the revenue from the continued rental of the Manse to create funds for our Consolidated Fabric Fund to meet ongoing heat light and repair costs. Costs for the repair and renewal of our church buildings are an unknown element and we may have to look to our reserves to cover this in the future. ## **Reserves Policy** We hold investments with the Church of Scotland Investors Trust in Edinburgh. The investment objectives are to build a firm and stable financial infrastructure to enable the continuance of our work. The Trustees have a policy to hold sufficient reserves to generate income to reduce the burden of increasing running costs to our Membership. At the year end the Church held unrestricted and designated funds of £219,117. The Church also held £113,231 of restricted funds which have been provided for the purposes specified. Page 3 of 10 **Grantully, Logierait & Strathtay Church of Scotland Trustees' Annual Report (cont.) Year ended 31 December 2025** ## **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 / Congregational Board are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to 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. They are 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. Approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf, **Mary Butler Sherriffs Clerk to the Session** **Date - 5th February 2026** Page 4 of 10 ## **Grantully, Logierait & Strathtay Church of Scotland SC 004275 Report of the Independent Examiners** ## **We report on the Accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31st December 2025 as set out in pages 01 to 10** ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The Charity Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustees investment(Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The Charity trustees consider that the Audit requirement of Regulation 10 (1) (d) of the Accounts Regulation does not apply. It is our responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44 (1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to our attention. ## **Basis of independent examiners' statement** Our examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and 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 seeking 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. ## **Independent examiners' statement** In the course of our examination of the statement of accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, no matter has come to our attention:- 1. which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: - accounting records have not been kept in accordance with Section 44 (l) (a) of the Charities and Trustee Investments (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 4 of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 - the accounts do not accord with those records - the statement of accounts do not comply with any of the requirements of Regulation 8 of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the 2. accounts to be reached |**Signed****_Myra Williamson_**
