Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 31 December 2022 Structure, Governance and Management Governing Document The Church is administered in accordance with the terms of the Model Deed of Constitution. Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees Trustees are members of the Congregational Board, drawing on elders of the Kirk Session who are also considered to have the appropriate gifts and skills. The minister, who is a member of the Kirk Session is called by the congregation and sustained by Presbytery. 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 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. Organisational Structure The Congregational Board is chaired by the minister and meets nine times in a year. Certain responsibilities are delegated to Board Members as appropriate. The Kirk Session which also meets nine times a year is responsible for spiritual affairs within the church. 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 co-operates with other Churches in various ecumenical bodies in Scotland and beyond. Linkage It is anticipated that this will be the last Congregational Report for St Gerardine's High Church Lossiemouth as a separate entity as deferred linkage with St James Church Lossiemouth will likely conclude with union later in 2023.

Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 31 December 2022 Achievements and Performance Once again, activities were disrupted in 2022 due to Government regulations and Church guidelines with respect to the ongoing global Coronavirus pandemic at the time.

❖ The organisations that come under our charitable status within the Church are the Bible Study Group, The Sunday School School, the Guild and the Friendship Group. Bible Study Group: ❖ The Bible Study Group again held Wednesday meetings through ZOOM as a means of communication which proved very successful and well attended by members of both St Gerardine's High Church and St James Churches. Sunday School: ❖ Although the Sunday School no longer has children attending, the Sunday School Bank Account remains open in order to send donations out to other children's charities whilst funds last. The Guild: ❖ The Guild of St Gerardine's has wound up since the time of the last Congregational Report in preparation for the Union with St James'. A monetary gift was transferred to the General Account of St Gerardine's at this time. The Friendship Group: ❖ Limited activities have taken place during 2022. The Coffee Morning Group ❖ This group was also wound up in 2022 with a closing monetary gift to the General Account of St Gerardine's.

Trustees’ Annual Report

Year ended 31 December 2022

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, on request, must reflect the financial position of the Church at that time. This must be done to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Regulations Anent Congregational Finance approved by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 2007. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Church and must take reasonable steps for the prevention and/or detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf,

Session Clerk………………………

St Gerardine’s High Church: Lossiemouth Scottish Registered Charity No.009793

Independent Examiner’s Report to

the Trustees of St Gerardine’s High Church

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 8 to 12.

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 Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulation 2006.

The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) 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 independent examiner’s statement

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 my examination, no matter has come to my attention

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:

to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 (1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts and

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The members of the Kirk Session / Congregational Board are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which, on request, must reflect the financial position of the Church at that time. This must be done to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Regulations Anent Congregational Finance approved by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 2007. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Church and must take reasonable steps for the prevention and/or detection of fraud and other irregularities.

trustees and examiner|The charity's trustees are responsible forthe preparation ofthe accounts in accordance
with theterms ofthe Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Actand the
CharitiesAccounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider thatthe|| ||audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) ofthe 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.|| |Basisofindependent
examiner's statement|My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 ofthe Charities
Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review ofthe|| ||accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with|| ||those records. It also includes consideration ofany 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,
| do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.|| |Independent examiner’s|-
_ In the course ofmy examination, no matter hascome to my attention [other than that|| |statement|disclosed on the attached page]|| ||1.
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the|| ||requirements:|| ||_
