ALL SAINTS’ EPISCOPAL CHURCH, ST ANDREWS TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's constitution and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland effective from 1 January 2019 (FRS 102).
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The objectives of the Vestry, who are the trustees of the Church, are to advance the mission of the Christian Church through worship, service and fellowship. These objectives are carried out through mission and pastoral activities. The principal activities of the Church are public worship and the spiritual development of its members.
Donations are made to charitable causes that provide benefits to disadvantaged individuals and communities in Scotland, the rest of the United Kingdom and overseas.
In carrying out the objectives of the Church the trustees depend upon the contributions in time from individuals and in material from the congregation. Activities carried out include contributions preparatory to and during services of worship and on sub-committees and through group activities. These contributions are highly valued and all members of the congregation are encouraged to, and many do, participate in them.

ALL SAINTS’ EPISCOPAL CHURCH, ST ANDREWS TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Congregational Life and Development
-
e As noted in recent years, the Covid crisis brought significant changes to the congregational age profile. Five years later, the average age of the congregation continues to fall, due to the attendance of more postgraduates, undergraduates, and some of their young families. Attendance at services has risen almost to pre-Covid levels and the society of those who attend is very positive.
-
e¢ While engagement in some aspects of church life — particularly financial support and governance — remains limited (though two undergraduates currently serve as Trustees), participation in the liturgical and social life of the Church has increased. This has brought real encouragement to the whole congregation.
-
e Given these underlying changes in membership and their financial implications, it has been another busy year in renewing the fabric of the site.
Fabric and Maintenance
-
e Following the recent work in the main hall, monitoring measurements of the balcony continue to be taken quarterly in-house to reduce external costs. Numerous smaller maintenance and repair tasks were completed, including repainting the external windows on the courtyard side of the Vestry block and the street side of Rectory Lodge.
-
e¢ Complex investigations and roof repairs are scheduled for the Sacristy and the tower of Tower Flat. A minor periodic leak in the main hall — associated with wind from a certain direction — will be repaired during this process.
-
e Despite these challenges the Trustees have maintained a balanced approach to the Church’s activities,

- e £300 was raised througha retiring collection for the MtSFS in support of its pastoral work in the ports of Scotland. The resonance of this charity's work with the origins of All Saints’ as a fishermen’s church is obvious.
Children’s Church
-
e There are currently four families among the regular congregation with children of suitable age for these activities. All of these families prefer their children to remain throughout the liturgy, but they appreciate the provision of the Green Room asa place of retreat, if necessary.
-
e Suitable people could be found to lead children’s activities should more families begin attending, but the need is not currently apparent.
Rectory Activities
-
e The Rectory continues to host smaller committee meetings, regular social occasions, pastoral interviews, and Lent supper-and-study evenings. Vestry meetings have continued to take place in the Annie Younger Room.

-
e The arrangement with ;- iii iii a vocational deacon, in one of the Continuing Anglican Churches of North America, has unfortunately encountered some difficulty. The Bishop raised the matter with the College of Bishops, resulting in a revised arrangement: he may no longer minister as a deacon at the altar, but may preach at the Rector’s invitation. This decision has not been widely welcomed and has led to the full ceremonial provision being offered only occasionally on Sundays. Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament
-
e The CBS has faced some governance challenges during the year, slowing progress toward the formal launch of the new ward at All Saints’. The only Scottish Trustee of the charity has also been moving posts, contributing to a period of delay. We hope that outstanding matters will soon be resolved and that the activities of the ward may be expanded.
Fire Detection
- e The fire detection system has proved moderately successful, providing wireless coverage throughout the site, though persistent issues remain in some church units due to incense and cobwebs. These have not yet been resolved, but we hope to do so in the coming months.

Investment policy and performance
The trustees are empowered to invest sums to earn interest or to purchase securities under the general investment regulations governing charitable trustees.
The trustees hold investments in the Scottish Episcopal Church Unit Trust Pool (UTP). The investment objective of the UTP, which accords with that of the trustees, is to earn a return on the assets over the long-term, sufficient at least to maintain the real value of the distribution to unit holders. The objective was satisfied in terms of the distributions received and the growth in value of the holding during the year.

j) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Individual fixed assets costing £2,750 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives. Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis as follows:
Property improvements - 10% straight line
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 10% straight line

n) Pensions The Scottish Episcopal Church operates a defined benefit non-contributory pension scheme for clergy. The congregation pays contributions to this multi-employer scheme in respect of the Rector. Contributions to the scheme are set at rates designed to spread the costs of pensions over the working lives of clergy, and are charged in the accounts on a due and payable basis. The rate of contributions is determined by a qualified actuary. The amount of charges for the year is disclosed in note 17. Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution "money purchase" scheme. The charity contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 6. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end. Contributions are paid to the government scheme "NEST".
- 0) Related party transactions and trustees' expenses and remuneration The Rector, who is technically not an employee but an office-holder and is ex officio a member of the Vestry, receives the benefit of contributions to fund his stipend and pension in respect of his services as a stipendiary cleric in line with scales determined by the General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church. All other trustees give freely their time and expertise without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind (2024 fnil).
Details of all transactions with related parties are disclosed in note 14.

p) Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees have made the following judgements:
Accruals
Trustees estimate the requirements for accruals using post year end information. This identifies costs that are expected to be incurred for services provided by other parties. Accruals are only released when there is a reasonable expectation that these costs will not be invoiced in the future.

Employees are eligible to join the Scottish Episcopal Church Pension Fund which is a non-contributory defined benefit scheme with benefits based on final pensionable salary. The Rector is a member of the Fund. All Saints’ Church is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the Fund on a consistent and reasonable basis and so accounts for its contributions as if the scheme was a defined contribution scheme. The contribution rate for the year under review was 22% and the Trustees of the Fund approved a contribution rate of 22% for the year from 1 January 2026. The rate is based on the Actuarial Valuation of the Fund as at 31 December 2023 which reflects a surplus of £4.6 million in the preliminary results. The next valuation of the Pension Fund will be carried out as at 31 December 2026.
The contributions made in the year amounted to £8,316 (2024 - £10,430). There were no contributions outstanding at 30 September 2025 or 30 September 2024.
