Current Trustees
Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution
The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (a SCIO). It was registered in its current legal form on 18 July 2016. It has a single tier structure and as such the trustees are the members of the charity.
Appointment of trustees
The management committee are the charity’s trustees. Membership of the management committee is open to all Parish members who share Christian Orthodox values. Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting which is usually held in September. This financial year, the Annual General Meeting was held on 26[th] of August 2024 where the trustees were elected/re-elected (minimum of three and maximum of twelve trustees). Two more trustees,
1
, were added to account for the charity's expected growth in
activity.
Objectives and Activities
Charitable purposes
The organisation’s purposes are:
Providing and promoting the provision of information and support for people of Romanian origin in Scotland.
-
Promoting the inclusion of people of Romanian origin in the civil life of Scotland.
-
Promoting opportunities for people in Scotland to be exposed to the Romanian arts and culture.
-
To provide the means for the Romanian Christian Orthodox Church to practice the Orthodox faith, in particular.
-
To support the organization of religious, cultural and philanthropic activities according to Scottish Law and the traditions of the Christian Orthodox Church.
-
To provide the means for the education of the public in the Christian Orthodox faith and Romanian culture and language.
-
To provide a diverse community under the Christian Orthodox Patriarchates comprised of Scottish, English, Greek, Russian, Serbian, Romanian, Bulgarian and of many other people. An important aim of our community is sharing our cultural heritage and welcoming all those from whatever background who wish to enter into the worshipping life of Christian Orthodox Church.
Activities
The Charity is helping the Aberdeen and Dundee Romanian Orthodox Parish to provide Orthodox Christian services on Saturday and Sunday and on any other important day in the Orthodox calendar.
We have had religious services at Saint Andrew’s Church Dundee on Sundays and at Northfield Parish Church Aberdeen on Saturdays. As in the previous years, we have continued to organise several community activities such as: Christmas Carols concert, International Children’s Day activities on 1[st] of June and Romania’s National Day on 1[st] December.
In October 2024, Church of Scotland put Ruthrieston West Church up for sale. Its size and location met our Parish needs and seemed to be the answer we were looking for since we
2
have registered the Charity. The property was for sale for a fix price of £350,000. After evaluating the benefits, the Charity Trustees made an offer and in December 2024 our offer was accepted. As part of the negotiation with Church of Scotland, we have agreed to pay the full amount in four quarterly instalments starting from the Date of Entry. As our funds so far are not enough to cover the whole amount, this period would allow us to explore other fundraising options.
Achievements and Performance
The challenges in finding a suitable venue for religious services significantly impacted the Aberdeen congregation. However, by consistently holding religious services in Aberdeen, we have begun to rebuild the congregation, even witnessing an increase in participation. This has been a major accomplishment, as it enabled us to maintain regular services for the Orthodox community in Aberdeen and finding our own place by buying the Ruthrieston West Church.
In Dundee, owning the church building has provided a foundation for more stable operations and greater community involvement. We have renovated the room office, kitchen and library/children’s activities room. These efforts have proven to be a great success, and as a result, the Dundee Parish has seen significant growth in its community.
Financial review
Our main source of funding remains the donations. The Charity does not charge any membership fees.
On the current financial year, we have managed to collect from donations £15,288 in the Unrestricted Fund and £53,480 in the Restricted Fund. The main expenditures incurred were for Dundee Church Renovation and Liturgical Adaptation, as icons, renovation of the room office, kitchen and library/kid’s activities room to (£9,461) and utilities bills for the St. Andrew Church in Dundee (£2,413). The main expenditures for Aberdeen Church were the rent for using the Northfield Parish Church of £2,560, the solicitor initial fee (£600) for the legal process of purchasing the new church and £1,920 for the new building evaluation. Other expenditures were for the website domain and hosting (£98) and bank charges/fees (£262). After including the Gift Aid, receipts from fundraising activities and bank interests, the total annual net income was £62,134.
Reserves policy
The trustees decided to keep a minimum £2,000 as reserves in the Aberdeen and Dundee Current accounts for any unplanned activity or unforeseen events. Everything above this amount will be transferred to the Saving Account.

Plans for future period
The short-term plan is to explore the fundraising options to purchase the new church in Aberdeen, which will give us the freedom of organising religious services whenever required as well as cultural and/or educational events for the Aberdeen community.
The other significant goal is to carry out repairs, renovations and redecorations of the St. Andrew Orthodox Church in Dundee.
It is our intention to closely work with the local organisations and to provide support to the Romanian people and those of Christian Orthodox faith.
