**GRACE CHURCH LEITH** 

## **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** 

## **Aims and Affiliation** 

Grace Church Leith Free Church of Scotland is a congregation of the Free Church of Scotland working towards the common aims set out below. 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 document is available on request from the Free Church of Scotland, 15 North Bank St., The Mound, Edinburgh, EH1 2LS. 

The Free Church of Scotland currently has over 100 congregations in Scotland, as well as one in London and four in North America, and sister Churches founded by mission work in India, Peru and South Africa. The Church also has a seminary in Edinburgh for the training of ministers and other Christian workers and sustains an extensive missionary programme relative to the size of the church. The principal activity of the Church is the conduct of public worship and associated matters in the context of local congregations. 

Dating from 1843 but with its roots in the Reformation, the Free Church of Scotland 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. 

The congregation is authorised by the Church to have a minister paid from central funds of the Church.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

During the year, the congregation met regularly for public 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. 

Significant highlights, events and developments of note over the year include the following: - 

## In relation to **congregational activities** : 

- Membership at end of 2024 was 52 with 20 adherents. 

- Wee Leithers, our mums and toddlers club, met consistently during the year with an average attendance of 50 parents and 50 children. 

- We had a retreat in February 2024 with 80 in attendance. 

- We run a Conversation Café where non- native English speakers get the opportunity to practice their English with members of the church. 

- We are grateful for all our members who are engaged with Safe Families for Children. This is a tangible example of the way members of GCL are blessing those in the community around us. 

- Over the course of the past year, our youth group has had opportunities to partner with other youth groups in the city  to allow our children to form relationships with other Christian children in the city. 

- It has been encouraging to see the building used for a number of one off events to support wider ministries such as a Josh Garrells Concert. In the past year, the Free Church has used the building for Minister's training events and youth events. Bethany Christian Trust have been hosting meetings weekly in the building for those struggling with addiction. We also began partnering with Soul Food in July 2024 to host a weekly meal that serves 80-100 isolated, elderly and homeless people. 

## In relation to **congregational funding** : 

- An increase in donations from church members via regular standing orders compared to the previous year. 

- An increase in donations from US-based individuals. 

- An increase in rental income generated by the church premises. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Results for the year** 

As a result of a surplus for the year of £28,416 the church held total funds amounting to £543,406 at the end of the year. That consisted of a General Fund amounting to £16,232 and restricted funds totalling £527,174. 

The trustees are satisfied with the level of reserves retained by the charity. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Status of Charity and Governing Document** 

Grace Church Leith Free Church of Scotland is established by Constitution. It is a registered Scottish Charity (No. SC045774). 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new 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 the responsibilities of their office within the congregation as elder or deacon.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Grace Church Leith** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 set out on pages five to fourteen. 

## **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.

**GRACE CHURCH LEITH** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The presentation currency of the accounts is Pound sterling (£). 

The accounts are rounded to the nearest £1 

The Charity is a going concern and there are no material uncertainties casting significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Fixed asset net book value and depreciation charges are the areas of the accounts which are affected by significant judgements and estimates. The trustees exercise judgement in determining both the useful economic life and the likely residual value of the charity's assets. This judgement affects the rates of and charge for depreciation as well as grant release in the accounts for the year. It also therefore affects the net book value of the assets in the balance sheet. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from government and other grants, whether capital grants or revenue grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Freehold property - not provided Plant and machinery - 20% depreciation on cost 

Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised  in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
