This yearthey have supported the 2nd Wishaw Boys Brigade Junior Section, The Brigade District Band, The Salvation Army, CHAS and the SSPCA through a series of fundraising and sponsorship events. The Saturday Club has bean operational all year with some revised working practices in pla. Because of the lack of volunteer staff the Midweek Club has still lo re-open. We are indebted to all the volunteers who staff the café and w)rk behind the scenes in all these ventures. In particular we are indebted t operation of the café to the hig who rosters the volunteers and maintains the est sta ndard in addition to organising the Church flower list and many other unseen but necessary tasks.

Vve recorded the deaths of 5 members of the congregation and 9 tiansfeis to other congregation. At the end of the year our membership was124. Presbytery Planning The Presbyteri6s of Lanark and Hamilton were ¢ombined to fom the Presbytery of Forth Valley st and Clydesdale from 1 January 2022 and in June 2022 were joined by the Presbytery of Falkirk, to form the new Presbytery of Forth Valley and Clydesdale. To meet the failing number of serving ministers, ministers due to retire in the next 5 years and the slow down on recruitment of new ministers, the new Presbytery was allcKated 59.5 posts under the new plan. The allocation for th8 former Hamilton Presbytery area was 34.5 compared to 58 at present. The Presbytery set out on a discussion of the proposals in a Draft Plan and our Kirk Session had discussions with representatives from C2mbusnethan Old, St. Mark's and Cleland with the view to forming a "mission group ' A series of Presbytery wide area megtin9s were hold where various options were raised Congragations were invited to send fim proposals to the Presbytery Planning Group.
Wishaw New Kirk Trustee8'Annual Report Year ended 31 Dember 2024 The Presbytery Planning Group was due to Pfesent a final plan to Presbytery in late November 2022. However by that time rather acrimonious discussions had been held and accusations had been made levelled at the actions of the committees (not in the Wishaw area), who ali resigned in protest. A new committee with an external and independent chair was formed and the round of discussions was entered again. Initial proposals were to be presented at a series of meetings in September/O¢tober 2023, but a challenge to the Draft Plan meant the plan was sent back for further consideration and explanation. The revised plan for our area set out South Wishaw as the main centre of worshp with the buildings at St. Mark's retained for mission purposes. The plan indicated 8 closure for worship of June 2025 for Wishaw Old and Cambusnethan Old. While acceptir)J that with a declining and ageing congregation, we cannot support the provision of even a part time ministry at Wishaw Old. the Kirk Sassion presented an option of relaining the building as a Town Centre Mission Base for the development work addressed in the plan. The current assets of the congregation together with the prOed5 of the sale of the manse would provide the seed corn for extensive renovation to upgrade the premises and also preserve the social history of the town. This option was nevei progressed by the Presbytery, These discussions were concluded and the pl8n finall National Church in June 2024. However in August: he Presbytery and the while previously having indicated his agreement to extend his sphere of rninisli y, williii I tlhe enlarged parish area, decided not to put his name forward as minister of the new united charge. This meant that to progress the plan, the Presbytery had to Introdu an interim slep forthe remaining congregations. This called for a union of St. Mark's, Wishaw Old and Cambusnethan Old and Morningside. with St. Mark's as the worship centre. The manse of the new charge was agreed as the Wishaw Old Manse and all other churches and manses were to be sold. The union was to take effect from 1, January if all sessions and congregations voted in favour of the union. One of the conseqLJences of the union was the reduction in the number of Trustees. Formerly all Elders and rnembers of the Congregational Board were deemed Trustees. In the new union we have to adopt the Unitary Constitution, which devolves all the affairs of the chanty to the Kirk Session. In acptIng this move the Trustees of the 3 congregations agreed that 21 Trustee Elders should form the Charity Trustees with all other elders sharing roles in pastoral support. These changes are reflected in the reference detail on page 2 of this report. Aformal Presbytery led setvice of union was scheduled for 23 February in St. Mark's sanctuary. Unfortunately following visits from the Presbytery Buildings Officer and representatives from the General Trustees, the Who of the St. Mark's building was closed, until fuller detail was received as to th8 nature and extent ofthe works, anticipated Gosts and how the repairs might be funded. Flnanclal Revlew The attached accounts report on the finanaal activities of all our organisations under the control and authority of the Kirk Session.

The Trustees encouraged our members use Standing Order for their weekly offering and we acknowledge with gratitude those who have signed up. However with the increasing uncertainty over the Presbytery Planning process many members cancelled their Standing Orders. Overall we saw a drop in offerings of £6K. With a gradual return to church, despite many members with pre-existing conditions not able to attend, Qpen Plate offerings have increased from £1,598 to £2,394. The uptake of Gift Aid has been maintained and £6,177 (£6,498) was recovered in tax. The Trustees would also use the avenue of Ihis Annual Report to remind all members of their membership promise to give a fitting proportion of their lirrie, talents and rnoney to the work of the church. Vve would also commend the Gift Aid Scheme, through which the Church can recover the income tax on all pledged gifts. This Gqn increase the gift of the value £100 to £125 once the tax paid is recovered. Through the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme, we are now able to recover the tax on any recorded donation of £30 or less. This means an additional £200C to Reclaim on qualifying gifts.
