Structure Governance & Management
Constitution
The Church has been a registered charity since 3" September 1929 and was set up with the purpose of maintaining the building and the advancement of religion.
Appointments of Committee Members
Membership of the management committee is open to all members of the local community, although being part of the congregation is expected. Committee members are elected at the AGM which is normally held in December.
Management
The management committee are responsible for the day to day running of the church.
Activities & Achievements
Our family and congregation are mourning the sudden death of Andrew Gordon on January 20th 2025, head of the family to whom the church belongs and treasurer for many years. His funeral took place in the church with a marquee in the field and there was a congregation of more than 800 people. We also had a memorial event in his memory from which over £2,000 was given to the church. He is greatly missed but our son, Duncan has taken on the role of treasurer.
We have had regular weekly services as normal this year and two fundraising events.
We are fortunate in having a skilled joiner working for us, who has copied the original church gates, which were rotten, in oak from the estate.
Financial Review
Our receipts have increased to £14,121 (2024: £12,662), this increase is mostly down to fund raising of £2,595 (2024: £894). Lower repair costs and a reimbursment of overpaid quota has helped reduce payments this year to £10,701 (2024: £15,634). This has resulted in the church making a surplus this year of £3,419 (2024: -£2,972).
Reserves Policy
The management committee's policy is to maintain reserves at a level that they believe will cover any unexpected eventuality. Any amounts over this level should be invested to achieve a return to help supplement the church's income.
Plans for Future Periods
Our next plan is to choose a new Rector since Liz Baker is retiring in April. We also aim to keep services going during the interregnum, with members of our own congregation helping with services as well as organising visiting priests. The Diocese will help us with these endeavours.

Independent Examiner's Report
For the Year Ended 30th September 2025
Respective responsibilities of the Committee Members and Examiner
The Church Committee members 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 (as amended). The Church Committee members consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(d) of the 2006 regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section (44)(1)(c) of the 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. 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 committee members concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:-
-
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 Regulations, and -to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting record and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Regulations have not been met, or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
