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.
Our church aims are encompassed in our Mission Statement: In St Margaret’s Church we will move forward by: Worshipping our God: Loving each other: Learning God’s ways: Caring for others: Sharing our faith Our Mission Statement continues to give us a framework for all the work we do and is an anchoring point which ensures we focus and prioritise as we continue to move forward and face new challenges.
2022 has been a year in which we have been encouraged to see our congregation growing in confidence and numbers after the disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic. For the first quarter of 2022 there was a continuing requirement to wear face masks during worship, and for some, the lingering anxiety of large gatherings continues. We are doing all we can to encourage and support everyone involved in our congregational life as we have returned to a more ‘normal’ socialisation. The Fife Presbytery Plan for all Church of Scotland congregations was agreed in November 2022 after a year of discussion and is very much centred around the need for the Churches in the Glenrothes area to work together towards a viable team ministry. This has been a real focus for us throughout 2022. We have come to understand and recognise that the future leadership of our congregation will be shared across our partnership grouping. ~~RE~~ 2s Our Interim Moderator from June 2021 to July 2022. We were sorry to lose him but were delighted to welcome ~~i~~ to take over that role in August 2022. We were sorry to lose our Church SecretaryGE bough ill health in April 2022. This post has not been filled at this time. Our two part time cleaners work diligently to ensure our buildings are kept clean for all organisations. It has been encouraging that all our organisations have been able to continue throughout the year with dedicated and hard-working volunteer leaders, and we have also supported new initiatives including setting up a ‘warm space’ to help alleviate fuel and food poverty in our community. Being in Vacancy we have been extremely fortunate that both our Interim Moderators have been diligent and thoughtful in providing weekly pulpit supply. We have settled into a pattern of having all-age intergenerational worship with a Breakfast Club for the children on the first Sunday of each month led by our in-house Worship Team. We have been encouraged by the number of parents and children who attend. PF ie has beenSundaysable worshipto lead worshipis led by gueston the preachers.last SundaySinceof the becoming month and our we Interimhave Moderatoused this opportunity to celebrate Communion together. Our congregation is open to different styles of worship and is welcoming and appreciative of all who lead our services. We recognise the value of continuing to live stream our services for those who are unable to attend. By uploading services to our YouTube channel, we offer further flexibility on-line and the opportunity for anyone interested to find out about our church and Christian faith.

Our Worship Team led a well- attended and much appreciated Bereavement Service at the beginning of December. Our Wednesday@]1 prayer call has continued online throughout the year with reminders messages sent out to all who have committed to praying at that time wherever they are. We are grateful to one of our Elders, who diligently takes responsibility for preparing and sending this out.
The Covenanted Partnership we have with the other Church of Scotland congregations in Glenrothes, Leslie, Markinch and Thornton has served us well as we start to look at more formal arrangements of working together. ‘The Haven’ project was a joint initiative which ran for the 6 weeks of Lent. A unit in Glenrothes Town Centre was rented and the churches worked together to set up, man and support a community hub. The Haven’s purpose was to share our faith in the community through arts and crafts, children’s play area, prayer stations and discussion. The Haven’s opening coincided with the start of the Russia/Ukraine war which was a focus and concern for many who dropped in. While it was agreed to close the Hub just after Easter, many people had visited and taken the opportunity to chat, pray and add to artwork while learning about Christian faith and values. ‘The Haven’ logo was once again used by the churches as we set up warm spaces in our buildings — each church opening on a different day. St Margaret’s opened it’s doors offering food and a warm space each Friday from the end of October. The partnership churches united for worship services through July and August and we shared Holy Week worship each evening in a different church. Lent and Advent Bible Studies, a weekly online study group and ‘The Bible Course’ were run as joint ventures. We also joined together for daily worship throughout the ‘Thy Kingdom come’ prayer initiative. The Kirk Sessions from all the churches have met together twice this year opening dialogue and helping us focus on our shared Christian faith and witness.
We were delighted that following the easing of the stricter restrictions placed on Care homes, and with the support of the MDS worker from another church in the partnership, we were once again able to start having services in one of our local residential homes. These monthly services have helped build good relationships with residents and staff and our volunteers who go along to support. We are hopeful that with the support of the other churches, we may be able to offer a similar service in the other care homes in the near future. All of these have led to greater trust and smooth the way for the more formal collaboration that will be needed as we move forward with the Presbytery Plan in 2023.
Our work with children has been an important part of our mission for many years. We are fortunate in having Sandra Davie as our 0.5 Children and Families worker and she has ably co-ordinated this work alongside a team of volunteers. Monday Club, our alternative to Sunday School continues to be well attended and enjoyed by around 30 Primary-age children each week. The children are taught about the Christian faith through stories, arts and crafts and games. Parents are very supportive and the summer barbeque was attended by over 100 people. Similarly, the family Christmas Party was very much appreciated. In August we ran our Holiday Club ‘ Wonder Zone’. The children attended three mornings of fun and activities with a dedicated team of ‘scientists’ leading their discoveries from the Bible. The annual holiday club has been one ofour main outreach activities over the years and is supported by the whole congregation through donations of refreshments and craft materials; preparation of materials; practical, financial and prayer support before and during the week. While we currently are not able to offer activities for teenagers, we have a sizeable group of young people who enthusiastically help with our children’s groups and often learn alongside the children they support. Each Wednesday we run ‘Wild Weans’, for pre-school children and their parents or carers. These sessions are well attended and our MDS Worker is actively involved in reaching out to the families who attend. The Toddler Christmas party was a great success with a puppet show. There were 42 toddlers present who thoroughly enjoyed it. ‘The well Good News of Jesus’ Christmas resource was used as the basis for a Christmas family activity afternoon in December.

Our MDS worker has made good contacts with all the local primary and secondary schools and has, at their invitation run ‘Walk through the Bible’ with a class in Carleton Primary. The school brought all their children to the church for their Christmas Assembly. Schools work continues to be important for our MDS worker.
The Guild meets fortnightly on a Monday afternoon with interesting speakers on a wide variety of Christian projects. The Good Companions are a self-help group for the elderly who meet each Wednesday afternoon for chat, games, music and entertainment. The Guild and Good Companions came together to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee with Afternoon Tea in the summer. At Christmas they came together again to enjoy a Meal in the church halls. They also shared a carol service in the church. All of our church activities are open to anyone from the community who would like to attend. We are a faith community but are open to anyone who chooses to come.
Our congregation continue to work in our community where need is seen. Our commitment to ‘the Haven’ warm space project and our weekly collections for the local foodbank are aimed at helping the needy in our town. The foodbank also received over 100kg of food from our Harvest thanksgiving and we have members who actively volunteer there.
We have once again given Christmas gifts to everyone living in homeless accommodation in Glenrothes. Further afield, we sent £1000 to our partner church in Sri Lanka as their country’s economic situation became chaotic at the start of the summer. Following the outbreak of war in Ukraine there was a congregational collection which raised £800 for the Reformed Church in Hungary Aid. We had a monetary collection alongside our food donations at Harvest and sent the £274 collected to the Pakistan flood appeal. We also donated 27 shoeboxes to the Blythswood Christmas appeal. Our Monday Club sponsor a child through ‘Compassion’ and the Kirk Session have agreed to top up this fund as it has been difficult for the children to raise money during pandemic restrictions and beyond. ,
With a sizeable grant from NHS Charities Together we have been able to improve and offer a welcome outdoor space in our large Garden. Repairs to the boundary fences and gates made the area more secure for children and creative planting has improved the area. Further work will be done in the year ahead to encourage community use and enjoyment.
Our halls are used by Rainbow, Brownie and Guide Groups. Hall lets are an important source of funding for us -and were minimal through covid restrictions. Since April we were pleased to offer our halls to a slimming group one evening per week. This generates a good income alongside the weekly Children’s Drama Group. Our new halls also offer an ideal space for children’s parties.
Communication with our members and community has been improved with our new modern and easily navigable website which was launched in June. It is being regularly updated and we also have a well- viewed and informative Facebook page. Our Session Clerk produces a quarterly newsletter which is e-mailed to those with that facility and is hand delivered or posted to those who are not able to access the internet. Our noticeboards are updated with upcoming events.
Our Fabric Convener stepped down from this post in January 2022. The Resources Committee have done what they can to ensure our buildings are safe and in good order and to ensure Presbytery are kept informed of works that have been carried out.

Achievements and Performance
With a unitary constitution, our Kirk Session recognised that our mission can be better served by having committees dedicated to different areas of our work. A reworking of the committee structure in early 2021 has proved difficult to maintain during vacancy. With the time availability of our Interim Moderators, it has meant Kirk Session meetings are less regular and it was agreed that appointing short term working groups to manage projects and mission would serve us better at this time. We have enjoyed the opportunity to meet together in person and stopped our video link to meetings in June after all restrictions were lifted and those who were shielding were able to attend. The Pastoral Care committee has continued its work and has opened their meetings to the congregation, where 21 people attended a meeting in September. We are sensitive to the pastoral needs of our congregation and are actively seeking new ways of ensuring all our members feel included and cared for by their church. Social events have been organised and it is encouraging to see so many people sharing our concern for our more vulnerable and isolated members. Mission and Outreach have been active in keeping Session informed of needs overseas and in our town. They have raised money for our overseas projects through the sale of hand made cards at Easter and Christmas particularly. Having sent £1000 to our partner church in Sri Lanka in June the world church fund was greatly depleted, and an auction was organised in October which raised £1,403 for any overseas projects we want to support. Without a Fabric Convener, the Resources committee has continued to work to ensure our buildings are kept in good order and to prioritise any work required. Urgent repairs from our 2021 Quinquennial Report have been carried out. Storm damage to our roof at the end of 2021 was reimbursed by our insurance, as was further storm damage in January 2022. The collapse of the cast iron downpipe from our belltower caused further damage to the roof and this too has been repaired. We have been advised that there is no need to replace the entire north face roof of the sanctuary now that repairs have been made to cracked and broken tiles. Three of our electrical distribution boards have been replaced and updated since our Quinquennial report in 2021. Minor repairs in the church and halls have been carried out at minimal cost by some of our congregation. As the Presbytery Plan indicates our buildings will be in use for the foreseeable future, at the end of 2022 we are enthusiastic, and in a good financial position to move forward with some of the planned improvements which have been on hold over the last two years.
At the end of the year our membership is 212 with 20 adherents. We welcomed two new members over the year and will miss the nine who are now at peace with their Lord.
The ongoing work of the Covenanted partnership Steering group is essential alongside joint Kirk Session gathering in ensuring we work closely together with the other Church of Scotland congregations. With the approval of the Presbytery Plan in November, the proposed staffing for all the Glenrothes Churches is expected to be 3 ministers and 2.5 MDS staff. With this knowledge we know that there will need to be a much closer and integrated relationship between the six churches and union and team ministry seem to be the way forward. Shared services and shared mission and outreach projects like ‘The Haven’ have built trust and interdependence. This said, St Margaret’s continues to be a vibrant and successful Christian community and we continually seek opportunities to serve in our community and share the Good News of our Christian faith.
Our worship and service are enhanced by many in the congregation who serve in different ways. We have a Praise Band who help lead worship and the beautiful banners can be seen throughout the buildings and enhance our worship spaces. We have a team of technology experts who manage and continually improve our online streaming. Our service on the first Sunday of the month is All-age and led by our own Worship Team. We have once again this year been blessed in the variety and quality of those who have led worship on pulpit supply.

Additionally, we appreciate the generosity of those who have waived their fees and travelling expenses. One of our Elders has completed the Presbytery Weaving Worship Course. Volunteers provide flowers for the sanctuary and distribute these to people in need or to share in celebrations. Houseplants are brought by the congregation at Easter and poinsettia plants at Christmas. These are distributed to share our love and concern and are much appreciated by recipients. In June, we gifted ‘It’s your move’ books to every Primary 7 pupil in the three Primary schools in our parish as they transition to high school.
Financial Review
The principal source of income is church offerings which this year totalled £36,791 compared to £41,003 last year which is a 10% decrease. This is rather concerning but given we are still in the recovery period from Covid and the cost of living increase, perhaps it’s not surprising. We have also sadly lost some of our loyal members in the course of 2022. At the year end there were 61 standing orders being paid directly into the bank and 23 Freewill Offering envelopes were used in the course of the year. There were 65 gift aid donors in the course of 2022 and we are grateful to our Gift Aid Convener Gilbert Forbes for facilitating the recovery of tax from the HMRC.
It was very pleasing to see the Halls being used again by church and community groups. The income from the letting of the halls this year is £5,098 which has increased by an impressive £4,474 on last year. It is also reassuring that this more than covers the heat and light cost of £3,276. We received grants totalling £8,164 the largest was for £5,765 from the Fife Health Board to the Garden Project Fund for redeveloping the church garden to make it suitable for community use. This is an exciting project and we are very grateful for the funding to make this project succeed.
We have been very fortunate that some of our Pulpit Supply ministers have waived their fee as have our Interim Moderators and we are very grateful for this generosity. As we have been in vacancy during the year a vacancy allowance was applied to our Ministries and Mission Contribution which was reduced to £24,825. This reduction has enabled us to build up our General Fund and at the end of the year it has a very healthy balance of £33,680. However there are several major fabric projects which are becoming increasingly essential. The total funds carried forward this year are £65,900 compared to £55,737 last year as recorded in the Statement of Financial Activities.
The congregation have again been very supportive of deserving causes and other charities donating a total of £3,447. An auction was held in the church and a wonderful total of £1,403 was raised This enabled us to support our partner church in Sri Lanka to the tune of £1,000. Christmas gifts were bought for the residents of Gilven House, ARCH and the farmhouses totalling £80. We continue to support {jgjggggjrom Tanzania through the Compassion project, the annual sponsorship was £386.
The Ukraine Appeal raised a wonderful £800, the Harvest collection for the Pakistan Flood appeal raised £274 and the Christian Aid envelopes raised £234. The Guild continue to faithfully support the Guild Projects (£261) and Leprosy Mission Scotland (£112), as well as giving £300 to deserving causes throughout the year.
Five funds have been reclassified as Designated Funds and as a result the following Restricted Funds are now closed: The Good Companions Fund, The Guild Fund, The Monday Club Fund, The Toddlers Funds and The World Church Fund.
The Church of Scotland General Trustees Consolidated Fabric Fund has a balance of £7,675 which was raised from letting out the manse. Since the beginning of December the manse has been occupied on a Caretaker Basis and whilst we will not benefit from any rent, the tenants will be responsible for paying the Council Tax.

Risk Management
As a congregation we have always managed to meet our financial commitments and continue to do so. Our Ministries and Mission contributions to the Church of Scotland are greatly reduced because we are in vacancy. Although our offerings are down by approx. 10% compared to last year, we end the year with a balance of £33,680 in the General Fund, more than any time in recent years. We have had a few smaller legacies and generous personal donations in previous years which are to be used for specific projects, and at the end of the year we are preparing to use these to make planned improvements which were highlighted in the 2021 Quinquennial Report. We are grateful that we are now ina position to take these projects forward. We plan to carry out some modernisation and refurbishment in our New Halls, making it a more attractive space for letting. We have already improved the Wi-Fi signal and fitted a nest timer for the heating which should make setting it more reliable and easier to manage. As a New Town church we do not have large reserve funds or legacies which can support our work and we are reliant on congregational giving and hall lets for most of our income. We understand the need to continue to encourage our members to review their individual giving and also promote Gift Aid and bank transfer payments. While we have available funds to carry out work to improve our buildings, we are aware that our primary objective of sharing and living out our Christian faith should be prioritised and funds made available for Mission whenever needed. With uncertainty about whether our Manse will be needed once the Presbytery Plan is worked through in our area, we will continue to seek to have it occupied. When our current tenants leave, we may be in a position to offer a further short term paid tenancy if the General Trustees allow. Perseis our Health manageand Safety Safeguarding.Administrator. ~~a~~ our Presbytery Representative. We currently have vacancies for a Fabric Convener and Data Protection Officer
Reserves Policy
The Charity trustees have considered the reserves required and have taken into account their current and future liabilities. It is the Trustees’ policy to hold reserves of approximately 10% of the annual income from offerings in the Designated Fabric Fund which is reserved for use in emergency. At the year end the Church held unrestricted cash funds of £45,955 of which £5,770 has been designated for the Fabric Fund. The Designated Manse Fund has a balance of £2,240 which may be used for the upkeep and maintenance of the Manse, the Legacy Fund for unrestricted legacies has a balance of £3,414 and the World Church Fund has a balance of £1,532 which may be used for humanitarian and deserving causes. The Good Companions, The Guild, Monday Club and the Toddlers Funds are also designated and the purposes are intimated in Note 13. The Church also held £16,509 of restricted funds which have been provided for the purposes specified in Note 13.
Structure, Governance and Management The congregation is a registered charity, number SC009845 and is administered in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Constitution (Unitary Form) and is subject to the Acts and Regulations of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

Saint Margaret's Parish Church of Scotland, Glenrothes Year ended 31 December 2022
.
General information
The charity is a public benefit entity, registered as a charity in Scotland.
|
Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies, which have been applied consistently in the current and preceding year in dealing with items which are considered material to the accounts, are set out below.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective from 1 January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
Disclosure exemptions
The charity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102 and therefore no cash flow statement has been presented for the charity.
Fund Accounting
Funds are classified as either restricted funds or unrestricted funds, defined as follows.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with their authority or created through legal processes, but still within the wider objects of the charity.
Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. This designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the trustees’ discretion to apply the fund. There are no endowment funds in St Margaret’s Accounts for 2022 or 2021.
At the beginning of 2022 five funds were reclassified and are now Designated Funds contrary to their original classification as Restricted Funds. The Funds which have been reclassified are The Monday Club Fund, The Toddlers Fund, The St Margaret’s Guild Fund, The Good Companions Fund and the World Church Fund. The starting balances in 2022 for each of these funds has been transferred to the newly created designated funds.
Going concern
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the ability of the charitable company to continue for the foreseeable future, and therefore has adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
Recognition of income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

‘Saint Margaret's Parish Church of Scotland, Glenrothes Year ended 31 December 2022
Donated services and facilities Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has 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 is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) the general volunteer time of congregation members is not recognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised as expenditure in the period of receipt.
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Recognition and allocation of expenditure Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure.
Fixed Assets
The charity has the right to occupy and use for its charitable objects certain tangible fixed assets, including the Church, halls and manse, vested in the Church of Scotland General Trustees. No consideration is payable for the use of these assets. Expenditure incurred on the repair and maintenance of these assets is charged as resources expended in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which the liability arises.
The Trustees have decided that all tangible fixed assets costing in excess of £1,000 having a value to the charity greater than one year, other than those acquired for specific purposes, are capitalised. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis to write off the cost or initial value, less residual value, of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives At present there are no such assets to capitalise.
Taxation
St Margaret’s Parish Church, Glenrothes is recognised as a charity for the purposes of applicable taxation legislation and is therefore not subject to taxation on its charitable activities. The charity is not registered for VAT and resources expended therefore include irrecoverable input VAT.
Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held by The Church of Scotland General Trustees, in the Consolidated Fabric Fund.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
Creditors
Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

12 Volunteers
In common with all congregations of the Church of Scotland the congregation benefits from the contribution made by volunteers who give their time and talents willingly for the benefit of the Church. The areas of congregational life which rely on the contribution of volunteers are many and varied and much of the activity would be unable to continue were it not for the commitment shown.
