In all it does, through its membership, Bourock Parisb Church aitns to fulfil the Great Commission of making
disciples for Chrtst, and to nUrkn￿e one another in faith and uphold one another in prayer.
Withtn the congregation, vario￿% grow m¢¢t for religious and social pwposes and. in the name of Christ and in
fidfihnent of their callin& members of the ¢ongregation atE active and raise fjmds for. various local, national
and international organisalions whose ain]s aTr ¢onsistent with the Gospel.
It would be difficult to provide a complete list of Jwn¢s and objectives of such activities of which the following
ar¢ r¢presentative.'
The Guild. Th¢ Choir" The Bible Study Group" The Boys, Brigad¢ (all seclions). Browni¢s and Rainbows. The
Vuriety Club. Craft Club. Coffee Club. Action of Barrbead Churches Together. East Renfrewshire Foodbank. Th¢
Kibera Project. Christian Ai(L
In common with many ChuT¢hes, BoutiKk Parish Chwch participat¢s in other both regular and ￿casional app¢al
based work and fund[￿illg activitics.
Aehievemellts and Perfonllance
The Gospel lives in the hearts of individuals as a personal faith through the work of the Iloly Spirit. Therefore, it
is not possibIe to directly ￿easure the "achi¢vement' of Bourock Parish Church's main purp)se. Fre(wently the
outcome and benefit of our aclivities alld service is hidden or not apPa￿lt until some future date. What we can
report are our successes at putting in place what w¢ believe is helpful to fulfllling our aims.
Firstly, th¢ TnJste¢s acknowledge the contributioll of the members of the congregation in the giving of their tA￿e,
tslents and money for the work of the Churcfy without which nothing would be achieved. Whether it is as part of
the Welcome Teani The Ministy of Te4 Flower or Steeple Talk Distributor or helping with any of the m
diverse tssk4 dDties and Tol¢s. all "do their bit. for the Glory of G(ML
We believe that in the last year we have had a F￿SlI1Ve infiu¢n¢¢ in the tives of well ov¢r I,(XM) individuals who
have wme into conts¢t wilh the Church and its members through wsonal conD￿tion and use of the facilities
which in the￿￿elveS are a °Church Without Walls" re￿h]ng out to."
Adult Members- 360
Junior Church - 33
Church visitors - 40 approx
Adult Groups- 30 approx
Youth Activities - 80 approx
Hall users- 300 approx
Event attendees - 400
Food Bank seNce users- over 50 per week (2600 + per annum)
Kibera Church and Community- 600 approx

This is just a flavour and inevitably the￿ is an element of "double counting" in the above. however, the numbers
provide some indication of the extent of connertion with the community: every Contact presenting a Gospel
opportunity.
We are blessed to be in partnership with Kibera Parish which is part of tbe presb￿erian Church of East Afrlca,
Situated in a 51um arpa on the outskirt5 of Nairobi, Kenya. We delighi in supporting our partner Church where our
contrlbution is evident and greatly appreciated. Bourock Church are still cornmitted to supporting education in
Kibern in the future.
The Coffee Club provide5 tea and cofEee for the (mainIy) senior Mem?￿ of our cou]tnuDRty. This has a strong
cotnmunity and social aspect. as does the Variety Club with its wonderfully happy panton)ime and talent showcase
evening5.
Financial Review
As money is our seryant and nol our master it is not our prime objeciive to Tai5e moJ]ey. However, we must be
gDDd stewards of our finances and ensure that there is sufficient Ill￿￿e and funding to Sustain our work In this,
we endeavour to llwage our finatlces p￿dellt1Y.
Once again. the congregation of Bourock Parish Church has ￿lty Met its LY)ntribution to Ministry & Mission and
Presbytery Dues and to the wider work of the Church. OLW deticit for the year was £29,074 (2023.. deficit
£31,113).
Within the overall income for all Funds figure of £94.406 our ll￿1n recutring source of Unrestricted Income for
general church running is regular congregarional income of £58.104 and Gift Aid theteon of £12.363, meaning
that our givings figure through WFOlstandin8 orders Inc￿Sed slightly fmtn £)J.258. Our Gift Aid Income,
however, decreased from the previous year. The number of members giving by standing order and giving
through Gift Aid has again fallen by aTound 9% compared to 2023 at around 93 and 91 respectively, while our
rnembeiEhip roll has declined again this year from 370 to 360.
Our general operating costs, most of whith are unavoidable, at E121,680 have increased slightly by £328
compared to last year, although this includes various repair costs.
During 2024, we w￿e ollce again able to allow hall lets, receiving the sum of E9.450 as a consequen￿, an
increase on the previous year. This is an extremely vital source of income for us- it was our 3rd highest SOUT￿ of
incotDe. Without this additional sources of income we would incur a far higher deficit year on year.
Underpinning our activities. our various Funds and Bank balance5 ￿ strong. and with good stewalllship, they
shuuld remain so.

Risk Management
No Church or organisation exists without being ¢xwKd to risks and th¢ need to identify and take action to
minimise or mitigate them.
Th¢ risks we bave to addrw are those which could Illterf￿e wit]4 r¢strict or terni1￿te our activities.
We manage our investment and banking risks by holding our balanc¢s across a range of flliancial institution8
including the Church of Scotland Inve8tor8 TnJsL
The major risks to prop¢ty, personnel and the public ar¢ add￿Sed through the insurance cover we have in place.
Sudden or unfor¢8¢en expenditu￿ is managed by maintaining adequate bank balan¢es.
However, in common with most other ChU￿he$, we extKk8ed to the potential loss of income which may arts¢
in the event of changes in the Circull￿tanceS of our menthers. Whilst we have a healthy Junior ChuwK and on
average we are living longer, our general rnemberthip profile continues to ￿ an ageing Cong￿gatio￿ inevitably
reducing in numbers.
The majority of our costs ¢ff¢ctively fixed. bowever there is a rdnge of actions which couId be devised and
taken "in extremis" to enable Bourock Church to continue Iworsbipping and working even if in T¢duced
circumstanc￿. Ultimately, &s a Parish Church of the national Church of Scotland, we have access to a variety of
r¢sources and sllp￿)rt structures and rMan￿ to bridge the gap slK)uld the need arise.
Given our past experiences, we know that the congregation will "rally round. to meet the needs of the Ch￿￿h. We
would never seek to bring in new members for purety financial reasons. However, w¢ must never tire in our
endeavours of introducing th¢ Gospel to those who may choose to join our numbthB.
We ar¢ forlunale that w¢ ])av¢ within our ranks a ￿e of capable, skilled people who give willingly of their lirne
in various injportant roles.
Our Saf¢gwding Policy is irnplenwited and regulady rcviewed by d¢signated rKrsons.
Locally* Bourock and its members are well respect¢d within the community and we believe this will ¢ontinll¢. Our
rqxitation is inwTtant to all we do and each of us are ambassado￿ foi our Chw¢h &8 well as foT Christ.
Reserves Pollcy
The Ch￿lty trustees bave considered the reserves requffl￿d and have taken into account their cu￿ent and future
liabilitie8. Hlstorically, It bas IKen tbe TThstees' policy to hold reserves of approximately two months expenditure
in¢IMding designated fund8. This policy continues to be reviewed in the ligbt of the general economic situation
and the prevailillg low Teturns available on investments which m¢an we have to generate our own growth. At the
year end the Church held unrestriited reserves of £178,936 of whi¢h £1,181 had been d&signated for Fabiic Fund.
This includ¢s the balance of the J&si¢ Mcwilliam Legacy of £12,808. th¢ sutn of £94.750 being tho balance of
the Ross Mitchell Legacy, the sum of £5,IKM) from the Jim Pert Legacy. plus the sum of £4.(X)O from the James
M6Kenzie Allan Legacy, to be used for general pUrp￿Se8. Other Funds arc cither operated under the ternis of an
endowment or ar¢ restricted for specific puryx)ses other than general nu]ning costs. Our General Fund of £61,197
repi"&sents arowTrd ¢ight months of a yearfs nornial a)sts, ¢%cluding fabric r¢pai￿. However. in th¢ light of th¢
expected future r¢pairs expenditure the In￿teeS do not consid¢T this sum ¢xce8sive as it is in keeping with our
histOTical position and cuffent pttceived risk and requir¢ments profile.
The church also held £23,279 of restiicted fimds and £77,989 of EndowD)ents which have ￿en prnvided for the
purposes spe¢ifi¢d in Not¢ 16.

Donated servlces and fatiliti
Donated professional services and donated facilitie5 ￿COgnised as income when the charity h&$
control over the item, any conditions aSK￿lated with the doDatL¥d item have been met, the receipt of
economic benefit from the use by the charity of the itetn is probable and that economic benefit c4n be
measured reliably. In accordan￿ with the Charities SORP (FR5102) the general volunteer time of
congregation members 15 IK)t Trcognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donald f￿]]itieS recogni￿ on the basis of the value
of the gift to the cbarity whieh is the amount Ihe ch￿lty would have been willing to pay to obtain
seryices or facilities of equivalent economic I￿e£lL on tbe open matket. a corre5poThling amount is
then recognised as expenditute the period of receipL
Jnterest receSvable
Interest on funds held on deposit is induded when receivable and the amount can be measured
reliably by the cllarity. this is nonnally llotification of the interest paid or payable by the
banlL
Fixed Assets
The charity has the right to occupy and use lor its ctwitable objects certain tangible fixed assets,
including the Church, halls and manse, vested in thp Churcb of Scotland General Tru5tee5.
No consideration is payable for the use of these assets. Expenditure incurred on the repair and
maintenance of these a55ets is chatged as resour￿ expendLMI in the Ststement of Financial
Activities in the period in which the liability arises.
All tangible Fixed A&8ets costing in excess of £5,1￿) having a value to the charity greater than
one year, other than those acquired for specilic pur￿, are capitalised. DePr￿lation is provlded
on a straighi-line basis to write off the cost of the initial value. of tsngible Fixed A&sets over
their estimated useful lives which are deternined by the Trustees wlien such a&sets are acquired.
luvesttnents
Fixed asset investtnents are stated at n]aA(et value at the balance sheet date. Unrealised gafins
and losses represent the difference between the Illa￿et value at the beginning and end of
the fllwicial year or, if purchased in the year. the difference between the c05t and tnarket value
at the end of the year. Realised gains and losses Tepresent the differencE belween the proceeds on
disposal and the market value at the srart of the year or cost if purchased in the year.
lkntion
Bauknead BOur￿k Church is recognised as a charity for the pury)oses 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 indude i￿verable input VAT.
