FALKIRK VINEYARD CHURCH
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The trustees are pleased to present their report and financial statements 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 financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "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
The charity is a church established for charitable purposes only, and in particular the objectives are:
To advance the Christian religion for public benefit in the United Kingdom and worldwide through:
-
The organisation and provision of Christian worship;
-
The provision of such facilities and services as are appropriate for the church, to enable it to fulfil its mission to the members of the Church, visitors to the Church, the local community and the wider community;
-
The provision of facilities for Christian training and service;
-
The support and provision of Christian evangelism and outreach;
-
The provision of assistance to the wider Christian church and its ministries.
Purpose and Public Benefit
Falkirk Vineyard Church exists to advance the Christian faith and to provide community support, pastoral care, and charitable services for the benefit of the public.
The trustees believe that the activities of Falkirk Vineyard Church provide significant public benefit through community support, pastoral care, youth and children’s work, food provision, family support, and accessible community spaces. The church remains committed to ensuring that its activities are accessible, welcoming, and beneficial to the wider Falkirk community.
Achievements and performance
I am delighted to write this report as a reflection on another exciting and positive year in the life of Falkirk Vineyard Church. Throughout the year we have seen God do remarkable things and sustain us through both opportunities and challenges.
The financial position of FVC has continued to strengthen, with a significant increase in regular giving and one-off donations. This has enabled us to further improve the financial resilience of the church whilst also continuing to invest in ministry, staffing, governance, and future opportunities.
2025 saw the completion of the Union Road project, with the building now being used to further extend God’s work in the Camelon community whilst also providing an office base for our staff team and volunteers. It has been exciting to see new groups and initiatives come to life within the building alongside the continued growth of Love Falkirk and wider community ministry.
As a Board, we were delighted to make both our Senior Pastor and Teaching Pastor permanent employees following their previous fixed-term contracts. We were also able to increase the hours of our Senior Pastor role. In addition, one of our fixed-term roles within Kids and Worship ministry will transition to being funded through ongoing church income from the next financial year, with both contracts extended for a further year.
Whilst the year-end accounts reflect an overall deficit for 2024/25, this was anticipated and primarily reflects the planned utilisation of restricted grant funding and Premises Fund reserves carried forward from the previous financial year. During the year these funds were intentionally invested into the completion and development of the Union Road premises project, alongside wider ministry expansion and community initiatives.

FALKIRK VINEYARD CHURCH
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The trustees took the strategic decision to release a portion of the church’s building reserves to support these developments as part of our longer-term vision around property and ministry growth. As a result, the deficit does not reflect underlying weakness in the church’s ongoing operational finances. Regular giving and unrestricted income remained strong throughout the year, and the trustees remain satisfied with the church’s overall financial resilience, reserves position, and long-term sustainability.
Due to increased income during the year, we were also able to invest in several important projects and resources, including new signage and a coffee machine for Sunday services, tents for FV Youth activities, and the development of a new church website.
We have continued to see encouraging growth in Sunday attendance alongside a significant increase in the number of children attending FV Kids each week. As this ministry continues to expand, the trustees and staff team are actively considering how our children’s ministry structure and group provision may need to further develop to ensure children are able to engage, learn, and grow in age-appropriate and well-supported environments.
We also remain committed to continued investment in worship ministry as an important part of church life and discipleship. Over the coming year we will continue to support and develop worship teams, equipment, and ministry opportunities as we seek to create welcoming and accessible spaces for worship and community.
Teaching and training also remain an important focus for Falkirk Vineyard Church. During the coming year we aim to continue developing and equipping emerging teachers and preachers within the church, investing in leadership development and creating opportunities for individuals to grow in gifting, confidence, and ministry experience.
The charity is governed by a Board of Trustees who are responsible for the strategic direction, governance, and oversight of Falkirk Vineyard Church. Trustees are appointed in accordance with the charity’s constitution and meet regularly to review financial performance, risk, and ministry development.
During 2025 we conducted a full review of our health and safety procedures, implementing updated processes and policies to ensure we continue to provide a safe and secure environment for everyone involved in church life. Safeguarding continues to remain a key priority, and throughout the year the trustees strengthened safeguarding procedures, training, and oversight, including external support from Thirtyone:eight.
Throughout the year the trustees continued to review governance, safeguarding, financial controls, and operational policies to ensure the charity is managed responsibly and in line with OSCR guidance. The trustees actively monitor financial, operational, safeguarding, and property-related risks as the church grows and expands its activities.
Love Falkirk has continued to evolve during 2024/25 as we seek to meet the growing needs of those requiring food support and wider practical assistance. The team has developed new partnerships with local organisations and agencies as we continue to expand the support available within the local community. The Union Road building has become a welcoming and safe place for people to gather, and future plans include developing a more holistic support model focused on wellbeing, practical assistance, community connection, and poverty education.
Our Mainly Music ministry continues to thrive, bringing together parents and guardians of around 30 children each week. We are especially excited to see this ministry expand further through the launch of a second site within our Union Road building.
As a church, we remain committed to generosity and supporting the wider work of God’s kingdom. During the year we continued our regular tithe to Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland and were also delighted to support Billy and Kayla’s ministry in Mexico, alongside Love the One and other charitable causes.
Financial review
There was a deficit for the year of £48,036 (2024 surplus: £83,541).

FALKIRK VINEYARD CHURCH
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Reserves Policy
The trustees recognise the importance of maintaining appropriate reserves to provide financial stability, manage unforeseen costs, and support future ministry opportunities.
At the year end, the church held approximately £54,664 in unrestricted reserves, representing around three months of core operating expenditure. In addition, the trustees have identified a voluntary contingency provision of £15,000 to further strengthen financial resilience over time.
The trustees consider this level of reserves appropriate for the current size, commitments, and risk profile of the charity. Reserves are held primarily to ensure that the church can meet its legal, employment, and contractual obligations in the event of an unexpected reduction in income.
In line with developing OSCR guidance and the continued growth of the church, the trustees have reviewed and updated their approach to reserves, surplus, and contingency planning for the 2025/26 financial year. This includes a clearer distinction between operational reserves, contingency provision, and designated funds such as the church’s building fund. The detailed reserves policy is maintained as a supporting governance document.
Looking ahead, securing a permanent Sunday venue remains a key strategic priority. The trustees will continue to review reserves and financial strategy to support future property opportunities whilst maintaining appropriate operational resilience.
As Falkirk Vineyard Church continues to grow, the trustees remain committed to ensuring that governance, safeguarding, financial oversight, and organisational structures develop appropriately. The next year will include continued investment in systems, staff development, and operational effectiveness.
It has been an excellent year for Falkirk Vineyard Church. A huge thank you to our volunteers, staff team, and
trustees for their commitment and faithful service.
Above all, we give glory to God for His provision and remain expectant for all that He will do in the year ahead.
Risk management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by it's constitution.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees, who are also the directors of Falkirk Vineyard Church for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF FALKIRK VINEYARD CHURCH
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 16.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees, who are also the directors of Falkirk Vineyard Church for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investments (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination is 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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking 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 view given by the financial statements.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
-
(ii) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations;
have not been met or
- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
