DOWANVALE FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For The Year Ended 31 December 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Free Church of Scotland currently has over 100 congregations in Scotland, as well as 1 in London and 5 in North America, and sister Churches founded by mission work in India, Peru and South Africa. The Church also has a full time seminary in the heart of Edinburgh for the training of Ministers and other Christian workers and sustains an extensive Missionary programme relative to the size of the church.
Dating from 1843 but with its roots in the Reformation, it owes its distinctive title to its historical struggle to remain 'free' from state interference in its internal affairs. It has close and active relations with many other Reformed churches of Jesus Christ throughout the world and stands firmly in the tradition which accepts the Bible in its entirety as the Word of God and, therefore, derives its forms of teaching, worship, ministry and government from it. The main emphasis of our worship is the preaching of the gospel - the good news of a free and sovereign salvation through Jesus Christ alone.
Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland is a congregation of the Free Church of Scotland working towards the common aims set out above. It is a Presbyterian church adhering in its worship and doctrine to the position of the Church of Scotland at the Reformation. The Free Church of Scotland has an explanatory document which explains the origins of the Church and which gives the historical background to the Church coming into being in 1843 and lists documents in which is embodied the constitution of the Church. The congregation is authorised by the Church to have a Minister, and as of May 2023 an Assistant Minister, paid from the central funds of the Church.
At 31 December 2024 the congregation owned the following properties: Church building at 35 Dowanhill Street, Glasgow and the manse property at 9 Laurel Park, Jordanhill.
The government of the Free Church of Scotland is Presbyterian and the congregation is within the Presbytery of Glasgow & Argyll.
Significant activities
During the year, the Church met regularly for worship and carried out various activities in pursuit of the above stated aims.
The congregation continued its commitment to support the Free Church of Scotland both spiritually and financially.
Grantmaking
The congregation makes grants from its gift income to individuals and organisations whose aims are compatible with the congregation's objectives.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
Achievements and Performance
During 2024 the Dowanvale congregation met regularly for worship with two services on a Sunday, regular midweek prayer meetings and a range of other activities in pursuit of the above stated aims. Grace Church Kilmacolm also met regularly for worship on each Sunday morning along with regular midweek meetings.
The congregation continued as an active supporter of the Free Church of Scotland both spiritually and financially.
Significant highlights, events and developments of note in the year included the following:
-
A new, part-time congregational administrator was appointed in the early part of 2024, providing invaluable support for all the activities of the Church.
-
Outreach to the local community was continued throughout the year with good connections being developed with local families through the 'Top Tots' mother and toddlers' group which continues to be particularly well attended.
-
The Partick Pantry (foodbank) also continued throughout the year, offering food and essential supplies to people in need in the local area and providing a safe and welcoming space for tea, coffee and conversation. Good relations have been developed with local businesses and agencies in support of this endeavour, and we are encouraged that some of the Pantry users also join us for Sunday worship.
-
The weekly outreach to International Students 'Glasgow International Conversations' was well attended during the year along with other regular events such as the Ladies Fellowship, the monthly Men's Breakfast and a regular programme of events for students and young workers.
-
Our home group Bible Studies increased in frequency to fortnightly over the second half of the year, with several, well attended groups meeting across the city. These groups provide the opportunity to meet for more informal study of the Bible and a time of prayer while helping to build deeper connections within the congregation.
-
We continued to partner with various mission organisations and enjoyed visits from several of these during the year who shared with us about their work across different parts of the world.
-
The Sunday Club met weekly during the Sunday morning service and we are thankful for the growth in the numbers of children attending weekly along with the volunteers who run both the Sunday Club and the crèche. The Sunday Club prizegiving was held in June along with a congregational lunch while the annual outing took place in August.
-
The Christianity Explored course was also held again during the year, providing an introduction to the Christian faith. This was well received by those who attended.
-
Various other activities and events were held during the year including our annual Christmas and Community Night, a Christmas dinner for over 60s, and monthly congregational lunches.
-
The project to develop plans for the refurbishment of the Dowanvale building continued throughout 2024. Initial plans, for which planning permission has been granted, have been considered to go beyond the current available budget. Therefore, a small project group continues to work with professional advisers to develop an affordable scheme that will meet the project brief.
The trustees offer special thanks to all who have contributed so much to the work of the congregation throughout the year. This includes those who give their time and energy as volunteers with the various ministries noted above. It also includes those who contribute so generously with their finances to the work of the congregation, and those who pray faithfully for all aspects of the work.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The financial statements for the year are set out in pages 6 to 15. The Statement of Financial Activities on page 6 reflects net incoming resources of £6,186 (2023, £25,205).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For The Year Ended 31 December 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The congregation receives its funding by way of weekly/monthly offerings and gift aid donations.
Reserves policy
The main commitment against the congregation's general fund is its financial contribution to the funds of the Free Church of Scotland. The unrestricted funds were assessed as providing a sufficient balance to meet on-going opening commitments in the new year.
Total reserves, including balances on restricted funds but excluding the book value of fixed assets amounted to £766,318 (2023, £759,301).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland is established by Constitution.
Trustees and Office Bearers
The church is Presbyterian in government and its day to day running is undertaken by the Elders (the Kirk Session) and the Deacons (the Deacons' court). The Deacons' Court's specific function relates to the material and financial business of the congregation, whereas Elders are charged with the general and spiritual oversight of the congregation (it is accepted practice for the Minister and Elders to also be in membership of the Deacons' Court). Under charity law the Deacons' Court are deemed to be the Trustees of the Congregation. (This is distinct from the role of congregational trustees responsible only for holding property in trust).
Congregational Trustees
For holding property:
.
Appointment of Charity Trustees
The Kirk Session exercises its discretion in determining the most appropriate method of electing new Trustees (Elders and Deacons). Any election process must involve the communicant membership of the congregation. There is no fixed term for Trusteeship. Prior to their appointment, new Trustees would have served the Church for some time in various roles and would be familiar with the Church's values, its aims and objectives as well as its day-to-day operations. As part of their induction programme, new Trustees are required to understand their statutory responsibilities as well as their responsibility as Elder or Deacon.
Risk management
The Trustees assess the major risks to which the congregation is exposed on an ongoing basis and have established procedures to mitigate those that are identified as a result of these reviews.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DOWANVALE FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 set out on pages six to thirteen.
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 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 seeking explanations from you as 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 view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
