Church building

During 2024 a comprehensive Condition Survey of the church building was carried out as part of an ongoing Programme of Preventative Maintenance. This has identified a package of necessary repairs to make the building wind and watertight and strengthen the resilience of its heritage, commensurate with its status as a place of international significance. The works required include treatment of existing and prevention of future outbreaks of dry rot, arresting degradation of the stonework, repair of stained-glass windows and surrounding tracery and installation of safe access to the roof and roof spaces. The total cost of this work is expected to exceed £4m. This is well beyond the means of the congregation and a fund-raising campaign, including major grant giving organisations will be required to finance the work.

The congregation, together with the other asset owners/managers of the Abbey site formed a partnership, known as the Heart of Dunfermline, to develop the Abbey complex and the activities undertaken from it. This will involve increasing engagement with the local community and visitors, local, national and international and a cultural events programme with an aim of securing the long-term sustainability of the site and the church’s role in Christian worship and ministry. A project to redevelop the church building to better suit a multi-functional role while preserving its heritage has been launched. Initial conceptual designs have been costed and show a £4m investment would be required. A community consultation about the future role of the church building within the City of Dunfermline will commence in Spring 2025.

Financial review

General Fund (Unrestricted)

As with all churches, the principal source of income is from the generosity of the members and visitors worshipping in the Abbey Church. Total offerings received by the General Fund during 2024 were £98,040, a decrease of 4.5% over the 2023 total of £102,713. In addition, the Abbey Church recovered tax under the Gift Aid Scheme of £22,615 compared to the 2023 recovery of £23,117. The other significant source of income comes from visitor income of £7,370 (2023 - £nil). Other income, comprising of investment income, bank interest and use of premises amounted to £9,461 (2023 - £9,786).

Total income during the year amounted to £149,885 an increase of 1% over the 2023 total of £148,299.

A major portion of expenditure within the General Fund relates to the requirements of the National Giving to Grow allocation of £76,174. This is an increase of 8% over the 2023 requirement of £70,791. Offset against this figure, is £2,119 of endowment income (2023 - £2,141) and £3,100 of transition funding (2023 - £nil). Together with our Presbytery dues, this results in a total payment of £73,808 for the year (2023 - £71,319). Another major item of expenditure relates to the operation and upkeep of the church building, halls and Manse. In 2024, these costs amounted to £48,944 (2023 - £55,814). These costs reflect the age and complexities of maintaining a substantial listed building of national significance.

Total expenditure amounted to £171,937 compared to the 2023 total of £167,237.

With a brought forward unrestricted fund balance of £426, the above resulted in a deficit of the year of £21,690 compared to a deficit of £18,698 during 2023. In 2024, the Church had to use unrestricted reserves to compensate £628 for small deficits in two restricted funds which are now closed. In addition, £750 was donated to the Church General Fund from Church Group Men's Leisure Group and during the year, the Flower Committee transferred £250 to the General Fund as it is now amalgamated with the General Fund. This left a deficit of £21,253. In 2024, the fund was supplemented by a transfer of funds from the Restoration Fund of £20,000 and from the Duncan Pollock Legacy of £1,862. As a result, the total value of the General Fund at 31 December 2024 amounts to a surplus of £545 which is an increase of £119 since 31 December 2023 (£426).

Fabric Fund (Designated)

This fund was established with the principal purpose of acquiring a grand piano.

Income for the year totalled £260 (2023 - £590). Expenditure amounted to £75 (2023 - £620).

The income and expenditure on the individual funds stated above results in the total value of funds held by the Abbey Church at 31 December 2024 being £369,981 compared to £200,411 at 31 December 2023.

Reserves Policy

The charity trustees have considered the reserves required, taking into account their current and future liabilities.

At the year end the Church held Unrestricted funds of £99,605 (2023 - £123,592) of which £69,274 (2023 - £91,941) has been designated for the Restoration and Development fund. The general balance amounted to a surplus of £545 (2023 - surplus of £426). The Trustees consider there are sufficient overall Reserves currently to support the continued operations of the Congregation.

Due to the Trustees’ ongoing commitment to maintain a Church building that is also a national monument, a policy is in place to hold monies in the Restoration and Development fund to help to finance the anticipated future costs of restoration works and major expenditure in the congregation's Development Plan.

All designated funds can, however, be utilised to cover any unforeseen items of expenditure. Balances on the other Designated Funds are set out in Note 16.

The Church also held a further £259,985 (2023 - £66,831) of Restricted funds and £10,327 (2023 - £9,988) of Endowment funds which have been provided for the purposes specified in Notes 13 and 14.

Investment Policy and Performance

Where surplus funds, beyond the level required to support day to day requirements, are expected for a significant period, then such surplus funds will be invested where a higher rate of return can be achieved. The investment vehicle will be selected by the Session, after due consideration of the level of potential return compared to the level of risk involved. Preference will be given to low risk investments in order to preserve the funds. The investment return in the year is considered to be satisfactory.

THE ABBEY CHURCH OF DUNFERMLINE (CHURCH OF SCOTLAND) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Risk Management

In common with most churches we do have an ageing congregation although the Young Church is active and initiatives described above, as well as other events in the Christian calendar, will hopefully attract more families to the Church.

Income from congregational giving reduced slightly over the year coupled with a fall in income from bequests, donations and wedding fees, while routine expenditure on maintenance of a building which is signature historic church and listed building of international importance remains significant. Consequently sustaining the future operations of the congregation is a growing challenge. With this in mind the congregation has been tasked by The Presbytery of Fife with examining a possible change of ownership of the building.

We have significant unrestricted financial reserves particularly in the Restoration and Development Fund which can be redesignated to support ongoing church operations meantime.

Because of the complex nature of financial management in an organisation such as the Abbey Church and the regulatory environment, we have been unable to identify one individual volunteer to take on the role of Treasurer. A team of volunteers are undertaking routine financial management while efforts continue to recruit a Treasurer.

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice)

THE ABBEY CHURCH OF DUNFERMLINE (CHURCH OF SCOTLAND) INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ABBEY CHURCH OF DUNFERMLINE

I report on the financial statements of the Church for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 14 to 34.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”) and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) (“the 2006 Regulations”).

The charity’s trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also 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 evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: -

THE ABBEY CHURCH OF DUNFERMLINE (CHURCH OF SCOTLAND) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies, which have been applied consistently in the current and preceding year in dealing with items which are considered material to the accounts, are set out below.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).

1.2 Fund accounting

Funds are classified as either restricted funds, endowment funds or unrestricted funds, defined as follows:

Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. This designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the trustees’ discretion to apply the fund.

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with their authority or created through legal processes, but still within the wider objects of the charity.

Endowment funds are funds which have been given on the condition that the original capital sum is not reduced, but the income therefrom is used for the purpose defined in accordance with the objects of the charity.

1.3 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount measured reliably.

Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with Charities SORP (FRS 102) the general volunteer time of congregation members is not recognised.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised as expenditure in the period of receipt.

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.4 Tangible fixed assets

The charity has the right to occupy and use for its charitable objects certain tangible fixed assets, including the church and manse, vested in the Church of Scotland General Trustees. No consideration is payable for the use of these assets. Expenditure incurred on the repair and maintenance of these assets is charged as resources expended in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which the liability arises. The assets held locally comprise the church hall and other ground, however no valuation is available.

All tangible fixed assets costing in excess of £1,000 having a value to the charity greater than one year, other than those acquired for specific purposes, are capitalised. Depreciation is provided on a straight–line basis to write off the cost or initial value, less residual value, of tangible assets over their estimated useful lives;

Heating Systems: 25 years Straight Line

1.5 Investments

Fixed asset investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. Unrealised gains and losses represent the difference between the market value at the beginning and end of the financial year or, if purchased in the year, the difference between cost and market value at the end of the year. Realised gains and losses represent the difference between the proceeds on disposal and the market value at the start of the year or cost if purchased in the year.

1.6 Taxation

The Abbey Church of Dunfermline is recognised as a charity for the purposes 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 include irrecoverable input VAT.

1.7 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
