Achlevements and Perfomance
Despite the removal of all COVID restrictions attendance has not reached the pre-covid levels.
Indeed dLJring the period of restriction we often came close to the 50 limit. In recent limes our
attendances have averaged 40. We have continued to maintain regular Sunday worship with

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 De￿mber 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 prO￿ed5 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

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 ac￿ptIng 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.

(£9,365) was paid in full and on lime by 10 règular instalments.
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. If you would like to learn rnore, please speak to
Aid Convenor.

The Trustees are conscious of the increase in operational expenses experienced this year Gas
Gosts up 1095, electricity up 48.5 % . There was an exceptional payment of £4132.50 for the AV
Install held over from the previous year. The Giving to Grow Contribution increased by 21.4 5 and
Fabric costs increased by £4,143 mostly in wind and watertight maintenance on the church roof.
These cost will continue while the property is stsll in use and unlil Ihe church propety is sold.
Re8erve8 Pollcy
It is the Trustees policy to hold reserves of approxirnately six months expenditure including
designated funds. At the year end the Church held unrestricted funds of £15, 271.19 (£13,109.31)
represented by cash £4,710.79 (£10,493.34) and £4,775.25 in Church of Scotland Income Units.
The balance represents only 3 month's expenditure which reinforces our reliance on the
continued operation of the cafes to support our ongoing work and wrtness. However in the short
terrn the Trustees have available free reseNes on deposit with the church of Scotland Investors
Trusts to cover fabric cost on the building and organ.
Designated Funds totslling £132,394.71 (£139.755.531 are under the discretionary control of the
Kirk Session and held as a 1. Fabric ReseNe with the interest from the invested funds transferred

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 eviden￿ thai would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not
express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
