Affiliations, Aims and Purposes
The charity is affiliated to Harvest Alliance, a global network of Christian Churches and Ministries. It is also an active member of Falmouth & Penryn Churches Together, which is part of Churches Together in Cornwall. The charity aims to promote and contribute to the advancement of the Christian faith and support other charities who have the same aims.
Activities
The charity is committed to enabling as many people as possible to experience Christian worship, prayer and teaching as well as spreading the ‘Good News’ of Jesus to the people of Falmouth and Penryn. It is also currently supporting Christian work in Kenya, Uganda, Israel and Ukraine.
Achievements and Performance
The Covid pandemic severely restricted our activities over the past two years, especially our ability to meet together. Following the pandemic we have found that some people are still reluctant to engage in face-to-face gatherings.This is having a significant effect on the ongoing donations we are receiving, and in the past year we have seen a further reduction in giving by almost 20%.
However, the charity has been able to significantly reduced its outgoings by sharing it’s premises with another Christian charity, Falmouth Vineyard Church. Contributions from Vineyard have enabled the charity to continue to fulfil its charitable obligations at a level comparable to previous years.
We continued to support the work of Falmouth Vineyard Church by allowing them use of our facilities. This has significant benefits for both organisations. Falmouth Vineyard now have a secure base from which to operate their work in the communities of Falmouth and Penryn. Stirring of the Water Ministries benefit from the reduction of overheads.
In 2021-2022 funds were utilised to meet the needs of disadvantaged amongst us, in Kenya (educational and evangelistic support as well as providing a clean water bore-hole) , Uganda (church construction) , in Ukraine (humanitarian aid for war victims) , and Israel (support for Holocaust survivors and their families, and traumatised children) . We continued to maintain a Christian meeting centre in Cornwall.
Public Benefit
The trustees believe that public benefit has been provided by making available as much as possible, regular public worship, training and church events open to all, personal prayer and fellowship, whether in person or via the internet. Regular mission work in the centre of Falmouth has continued, twice each month whenever possible; along with supporting other local Christian church groups and the work they do in the community.

Mrs T.D Robinson F.M.A.A.T Licensed and Regulated
by the Association of Accounting Technicians to provide services in accordance with Licence no 2022; details of which are displayed at the address below.
Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of :
Stirring of the Waters Ministries – Registered Charity Number – 1088298
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2022, which are set out on the attached pages.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the
Charities Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act.
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair” view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in. any material respect, the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
