Child Protection Co-ordinator Mrs Susan Kean Scone New Church is committed to the Code of Good Practice laid down by the Church of Scotland for Child Protection which means that the Church takes the care and protection of young people within the parish very seriously and takes all possible steps to prevent a young person from being abused or neglected. Both paid and voluntary workers understand their role and all helpers are issued with a copy of the Code of Good Practice. The Child Protection Co-ordinator is responsible for ensuring that all helpers are cleared by the national child protection authorities and all new volunteers must be approved before taking up post. Further information is available from Susan.
Car Rota Organiser Mr Ian MacKinnon The Car Rota consists of twenty four volunteer drivers, who provide their cars approximately once every three months. Every Sunday two cars bring six people, who otherwise would have difficulty attending, to church. After the service they have tea or coffee in the hall and the opportunity to meet friends before returning home.
Flower Convenor Mrs Una Donaldson There is a flower arrangement in church each Sunday with the flowers then distributed to members thus giving pleasure both to the congregation and to those who receive them. Around 20 ladies are involved on a rota basis either in the flower arranging or in distributing them each week. Members of the congregation make donations to the flower fund as appropriate.
Recorded Services Mrs Ann Whittet Since the middle of 2004 a team of members has been recording our Sunday service for those unable to attend church because of illness or infirmity. Usually spoken of as the Tape Service this is a team effort on the part of those who record, make copies and deliver the tapes. Demand ebbs and flows as needs arise but this is a truly worthwhile ministry made possible by donations for which we thank the Lord.
