Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

In the past year we have worked to alleviate the needs as much as we can through “Messy Church” for families. a weekly “Happy Hour” for primary childeren and a Tuesday cafe and warm space for all (which encorporates an English class for non- English speaking people).The Church holds monthly services in the local care home for the elderly residents and their families. We also ran away day trips for the local families and took some of the local youth to camp at Saltcoats for a holiday. Having idenified food poverty as a major issue in our local community springing from the Tuesday cafe, a Kook Skool (which opened in 2021) was further developed in the last year to incorporate cooking classes, not only for adults, but also for disadvantaged children from two local senior schools. We have also developed further links with the local community health establishments and are partnering with them to provide cooking classes for those with mental health challenges. Further, whilst we no longer run the food bank as we did during the Covid lock down period emergency food was availlable to all on request, as was help with paying for gas and ellectric. The Church continues to support the local Community, wider mission through it’s ongoing support of the Baptist Union of Scotland and Baptist World Mission and seeks to raise awareness of their works

FUTURE PLANS

The leadership of the Church constantly review their approach to Church Services and the ‘reaching out’ ministeries as well as undertake ongoing maintenance of thr Buildings of the Churck including it’s health and Safety. In the next year stepps will be taken towards a new building on our existing site. This will be a community facilityin the first instance which the Church will also use for it’s worship. in the past year(2024-25) having sucessfully consulted with Glasgow City Council Planning Department with respect to a Pre-planning application for our new building, we gathered reports required by them for Full Planning permission - A Flood Report and a Topography survey.We have also had some amendments done done to our plans for the new build and are in a position to apply for full planning permission once the necessary funding is in place. The latter is a current and ongoing priority. It is intended to put a fund raising team in place over the next year and once this has been developed will comence working towards funding applications. The present outreach ministeries will will continue and be developed as needs arise in the local community. We have seen an increase in footfall to our free inclusive community cafe which brings it’s own challenges including space, staffing and service. All aspects of which we are wrestling with and addressing. Our Kook Skool continues to grow and we are in the process of opening up a coffee and chat pilot for the lcal community to chat about faith and a new bible study group.

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees
consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) 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.
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts
Regulations. 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 viewgiven bythe accounts.
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that
disclosed on the attached page*]
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 comply with
Regulation 9 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.
