AChie￿nts and Perfornwnce
2024 was a busy year for EMEC. The Education ftxus was on the Sunday School and it is pleasing
to note the continuity despite significant staffing changes. Support by the link elders, and working
on a rota, the team delivered a structured programme, usin& age appropriate materials, ending the
vear wth a successful nativity play. Attendance averaged about 8 young people, of varying age5.
lunch Club. A less formal type of education takes place at the rnonth￿ lunch club. with a good mix
of talks and friendly social interaction. with around 20 attending. Here. we must atknowledge the
stalwart volunteers who prepare the lunches. as well as the guest speaker5.
Continuing the theme of brin8ing people together. EMEC ran bread and soup lunches at
Communion, as well as the family lunch at the Sunday School promotion service In June.
The o*ctive for Mlsslon was to build up the mission fund and it Is pleaslng to report that the funds
at the end of the year have enabled us to donate £250 each to Fergu51ie Ear￿ Learning Centre, Blue
Triangle and the DEC emer8ency appeal for the Middle East. We were also delighted to fund and
collate 30 starter packs for Blue Triangle, which were delivered to 8ruce Court in late November.
Further, we have promoted the work of Christian Aid both for Christian Aid week in May and
throughout December.
Tea and TNstr. A tan8lble aspect of Mission ha5 been ihe Week￿ Yea and Toast. at the Wynd
Centre which has a small but loyal following. We know this is Valued by those attendin8 and,
reco8nislng the value of outreach. we are exploring new approach￿ for 2025.
We continue to support the Renfrewshire Foodbank too.
Our rnain 8oal for Eco Congregatlon has been to build on the foundation established by our Silver
Award and to seek ways of raising awarene55 of eco issues. throu8h articles in Trinity. Facebook and
in Church, with a number of initiatives, not lease the Recreate Fashion Show. It was pleasing to see
voun8 people takln8 part in thi5, helping to draw attention to the need for responsible use of
clothing. It is undoubtedty a big help that Fiona Catterson is an assessor for Eco Congregation
Scotland and that we a￿ seen as a'80 to. Church for other Con8regation5. For 2025, we have plans
to restore the Eco garden and develop partnerships with exlstin8 '8reen' or8anlsation In

Finatscial Review
The Freewill Offerin8 and other 50urce5 of income have increased slightly. Costs were in line wrth
expecraiions except for major Church Repairs which were considered essential together with our
new heatin8 installation. The overall outcome is a defKit of £14.280 which 15 acceptable by the
Trustees.
Risk Management
The Church INe5 in challenging timesand the Trustees feel it is prudent to consider issues which may
become more problematic for us.
Our Congregation is a8ein8 and manyofour mem￿r5 are housebound or ￿qUi￿ care or live in care
establ ishments. Thi5 bring5 increased and chan8ed responsibility in the way we maintain our
fellowship and worshlp.
The cost of maintainin8 the Church buildings and fabric which are of historlcal significance, imwses
a conslderable burden on the income and resources of our Church. We are presently meetlng this
obll8ation thanks to the generosity of our members and the continuing support of The William
Adams Trust. Continuing prudent management of our finances and funds 15 essential.

Year Ended 31 Decernber 2014
Accountlng Polkl
The principal accounting policies. which have been applied conslstently in the current preceding year in
dealing with items which are considered material to the accounts a￿ set out below.
Basis ol Preparatlofi
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reportin8 by Charitles:
Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their account5 in accordance with
the Financial Reporting 5tsndards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS1021 issued on 16 july
2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS1021, the
Charities and Trustee Investmenl1Scotlandl Act 21XIS and the Charities accounts (Scotlandl Regulations
2006 lamendedl.
Fund Accountln
Funds are classified as either restrirted fund5 or unrestricted funds, defined as follows..
Restrlcted funds are funds subject to specific requirements a5 to their use whlch may be declared by the
donor or with their authority or created through legal processes, but stlll within the wider objetts of the
Charity.
Endowment funds are funds which have been gr¥en on the condition that the ori8inal capital sum is not
reduced. but the Income there from is used forthe purwse defined in attordance with the objerts of the
Charity.
Unrestrirted funds are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the
Charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are eamiafked at the discretion of the Trustees for a particular
purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. This designation has an administrative purpose onlv
and does not le8ally restrict the Trustees. discretion to app￿ the fund.
Incomlng resou￿¢5
Income is recognised when the charity has entrtlement to the funds, any performance conditlons attached
to the itemlsl of income have been met. it is probable that the income will be received and the amount
can be measured reliably.
Donated servlces and facllltles
Donated professional service5 and donated facilities are recognised as income when the Charity ha5
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 15 probable and that economic benefit can be
measured reliably.
In accordance with the Charitie5 SORP IFR51021 the general volunteef time of
Congregation members is not reco8nised.
13

On receipL donated professional services and donated facilitie5 are recognised on the basis of the value
of the gift to the Charity which is the amount the Charty would have been willing to pay to obtain setvices
or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market.. a corresponding amount is then
recogni5ed as expenditure in the period of re￿IPt.
Interest receS¥able
Interest on funds held on deposit Is included when receivable and the amount can be measured
rellably by the Charity,. this is normal￿ upjn rntification olthe interest paid or payable bythe Bank.
Flxed Assets
The Charity has the right to occupy and use for its charitable objects certain tangible fixed assets,
including the Church, vested in the Church of Scotland General Trustees. No consideration is
payable for the use of these assets. Expenditu￿ incurred on the repair and maintenènce of these
assets is charged as resources expended in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in
which the liability arlses. The Charlty also own5 the Vlynd Centre and the ha115 at Oakshaw Street,
Paisley.
The Trustees consider that it would be imprartical to apply conventional valuatlon
techniques to these buildin8s and accordingly no valuations are available.
Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. Unreallsed galns and
losses represent the difference between the market value at the beginning and end of the finantial
ve?r or, If purchased in the year, the differen￿ betsveen cost and market value at the end of the
vear. Realised gains artd 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.
Taxatlon
Oakshaw Trinity Church is recognised as a Charity for the purposes of applicable taxation legislation
and is therefore not subjert to taxation on its Charitsble activities. The Charity is not registered
for VAT and resources expended therefore include irrecoverable input VAT.
