St Luke’s, Downfield, Church Report For The Year 2024/2025
This is a review of the more significant activities in the life of St. Luke’s “Café Church” Downfield, Dundee, over the past year from November 2024 to end October 2025.
Staffing
==> picture [441 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
In the middle of 2025 Gill Campbell resigned as Church Warden and resigned as treasurer on their move to a new house elsewhere in Scotland.
who is known to the fellowship via links to The Attic, served as treasurer from then to end of October when congregation member took over.
continued to provide support as he seeks God’s will for him in terms of ministry in the Episcopal Church and he has been leading Pirate Monks and Nuns and Sunday services.
==> picture [62 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
is a congregational member and, like , leads services when necessary.
is our Safeguarding Officer.
This year the Attic eventually closed as an independent charity and became part of St Luke’s. Steve Waller leads the work there, assisted by , and a small number of paid
sessional workers. In this year Church Army has gone through a funding crisis and, as a result, Steve’s hours have been cut to part time. He now has a flexible working pattern to ensure maximum time on duty during school term time.
The informal volunteers at St Luke’s continue to make a huge contribution. They include who works with on building projects and maintenance and allows the use of his van for occasional transport of larger items.
The Foodbank/Clothing Bank/Café underwent a change early 2025 when the supply of food to the Foodbank by the council was brought to an end. It closed for a short period and underwent some upgrading, and the clothing bank was extended.
It is staffed by Sturrock (who formerly worked with the local council setting up community cafes) others who come in as and when they can. Sturrock has helped us implement new practices to meet Health and Safety Regulations.
A survey of regular attenders at the café was undertaken by congregation member Lindsey Grey which fed into the Vestry residential weekend at Tarfside, where the Vestry convened to consider the future of the church. They were led by Charis, the partner of a congregation member, and a report was created and circulated for use in future planning.
The Vestry meets together at regular intervals during the year and a Vestry WhatsApp group enables all to participate remotely if a quick decision on any matter is needed.
Property
As a result of the severe weather in January, the church hall suffered a burst pipe in the roof space which flooded the office, kitchen and newly refurbished basement/caretaker’s flat. The damage was considerable, and the entire eastern end of the property was put out of action. Work to re-instate the damaged interior began in October. The long delay between the incident and work commencing was due to our Insurers organizing contractors etc and a very long drying out period. A completion date of late January 2026 is anticipated
The part of the building affected was stripped back to the walls and, while in this condition, the Vestry elected to upgrade the single glazed kitchen windows as part of the renewal.
A caravan was purchased for use as a church office while refurbishment is ongoing.
The mezzanine level in the hall was fitted with vertical slats by Bruce and Don to conceal the unsightly storage space.
Another shed was donated, uplifted and re-erected on site by Don and Bruce to provide more storage space.
A laundry room was created in the church building. The former laundry in the hall was rendered useless by the flood.
Church Organisations
The Pirate Monks and Nuns recovery group has continued to meet and support those with addiction problems and mental health challenges.
The retreat this group held, in September 2025 at Tarfside, was very successful and had a significant spiritual impact on a number of those present.
This year a course called Practicing the Way has been used, amongst other teaching tools, and meetings have been varied by worship and games nights.
the well-known evangelist and recovered drugs addict attended again in November 2024 and the group attended worship events at City Church and at Downfield Church in 2025. It continues to attract new members.
The church collected monetary gifts for, and to support, our twin church in Nablus.
Worship
Worship continues to be held in the hall in a relaxed “café” atmosphere with good facilities for food, musicians, safeguarding and all-access toilets.
Numbers on Sunday continue to vary between 15 and 35 with a mean of around 20. We estimate around 60 people can be numbered as members/occasional attenders. We have attracted a number of new members who appear to have been drawn by the informal style and friendly atmosphere.
For a number of people, Pirate Monks and Nuns is their place of worship/church and we continue to see a small transfer from there into Sunday worship at St Luke’s.
The formal Eucharist held on a Wednesday in the church sanctuary was discontinued this year.
During the summer holiday period a new kind of service was trialed, where the congregation met around feature films.
Children’s ministry on Sunday is restricted due to the young age of the two children currently attending, however, the church has inherited a substantial ministry in The Attic which is based elsewhere in Kirkton. There are two groups serving different age groups with numbers of around 42 in total.
brought the rapper ‘Feedem’ to Dundee and he performed in the church, at the Attic, in local schools and at an open event at The Gate Fellowship while sharing his testimony.
Music
Recently Ian was asked to look at what equipment we might need to create a better sound environment for the congregation and improve the facilities for the musicians. Money for this project has been identified.
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment has now become a required part of the working environment and since September 2023 a formal record book has been used to comply with this initiative. All new DIY work and other events are recorded in a book specifically designed and issued to enable Risk Assessments of the tasks and events to be formally recorded.
Addition to Communication Tools
In 2023 created a new website for Café Church and work to fine tune and develop it has been necessarily slow due to other commitments, but it remains an aim to complete it.
Clothing Bank/Cafe
As mentioned, The Foodbank/Café is now a clothing bank and café and continues to be a major part of the ministry and outreach at St Luke’s. It continues to create a “fringe” of regular attenders from our neighbourhood and beyond.
There is a consistent feeling acceptance and warmth in the way church volunteers interact with those attending. This feature came out strongly in a survey that was completed. As a result, we have seen a small number of locals and volunteers attending church on a Sunday to see what we are about.
the Clothing Bank and puts many hours into sifting, assessing and displaying the donations, with assistance from volunteers. With Vestry approval she sells on-line, obo the church, some of the higher value clothing items donated and retains a percentage of the sale to cover costs etc. This has enhanced the income stream and helps subsidise the provision of food in the café.
Clothing items not suitable for re-use at our Clothing Bank are still passed on to the recycling agent “Rag a Bag” and money received supports the Café. We have a donation shed which is continually being filled with clothing donations enabling this work to continue.
Out of this we are also able to support individuals and families with specific needs e.g. setting up house, or who are in need of specific items.
Pastoral concerns arising at the Café continue to be attended to, or are supervised, by Kerry, while much in the way of friendship and support is provided by other committed volunteers.
Conclusion
This has been another very positive year for St Luke’s.
Our financial support from the Diocese decreases each year in line with the original plan for the Centre of Mission, however, despite this our financial position has improved
The Attic becoming part of St Luke’s created a number of opportunities and brought with it a substantial sum of money, albeit ring fenced for use with that venture. Staffing those opportunities will be a challenge.
We are working towards a goal of being self-sustaining and, although this is still some way off, we are grateful that year on year we have been able to demonstrate to our supporters in Church Army, the Diocese and Province, that their support has not been in vain.
This year we have once more been encouraged by our encounters with those God sends into our church and café - and by His provision.
We remain committed to reaching out to the “least the last and the lost” in our ministry and in being Christ to those He places around us.

St Luke’s Episcopal Church, Dundee Treasurer’s Report- December 2025 Covering the period 01/08/2024-31/07/2025
I would just like to begin by thanking the outgoing Treasurer who carried out the function for the last number of years and who has moved with his wife to another part of Scotland. Having just recently joined the Parish after moving from Northern Ireland where I worked as Administrator & Bookkeeper for a large Anglican Church, the Trustees invited me to join them as Treasurer.
The first thing I would mention is the principle of transparency, accountability and the role of the trustees. The accounts this year are prepared from the figures provided by our previous Treasurer. I have agreed with Select Vestry to compile them using a software package from ‘Data Developments – My Fund Accounting’. This is a package used by many Anglican Churches & Charities and complies with reporting under Charities Legislation.
Attached you will find the following: -

Statement of Financial Activities.

Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Analysis of Receipts & Payments.

Fund Movement Summary.
In summary: The General Fund contains £36,050.28 compared with £47,527.98 the previous year.
The Community, Compassion & Outreach Fund contains £20,292.04 compared with the previous year closing balance of £17,698.01 . An amount of £752.56 was transferred from this fund to the General to cover the shared cost of electric between Church & Church Hall. This fund has historically been a Restricted Fund dating back to Covid times when it would have been receiving some donations towards a Foodbank
Operation,- this is now no longer the case and the Vestry and Trustees feel that St Lukes always has been designated as a Centre of Mission and going forward it would make sense to have this fund utilised for this aim which was its purpose. To use an example, if the Rector is spending 50% of his working week in the Community and outreach work and the other 50% of time preparing & teaching on a Sunday morning, then it makes sense that this comes out of the funds on a proportionate basis – we are one Centre of Mission.
Two further accounts which must be Restricted are The Attic Project & Nablus Fund. Why are they restricted? We have recently taken over the running of The Attic Project as it was being wound up. This is why we now have £35637.73 held in our Bank of Scotland Account but it can only be used for the running of this project.
On a similar vein we have our Nablus Fund, again Restricted which sits within our main Bank of Scotland account. We ended 2024 with £1120 and during the year
collected through various donations, it finished at £2700 having sent them £2100 during 24/25 . The plan is that we will send a further sum of money in December 2025 to Palestine so that they can purchase food and supplies for the community. The fund is restricted as the funds donated must be used for the work of Nablus.
Large payments during the year were Other Church Ministry £6878, our Diocesan Assessment £4546, Insurance £2590, Salaries and Wages £19992 and Rectory Repairs £3774.
It takes a considerable amount to run the Centre of Mission. We plan in 25/26 to make available standing order mandates and FWO envelopes for parishioners/visitors who would like to donate to the work in the community. We also hope to use a data base called ‘Churchsuite’ this is a great software programme: it will help parishioners keep in touch, link in with a website, help with gift aid, small groups, planning etc.
Could I take this opportunity to thank everyone who makes our operation a Centre of Mission in the Centre of our Community.
Treasurer 10th November 2025
