Speakers were Tom Jones, Charity Cook and David Wagner all from the USA as well as Alun and Donna. We partnered with Global Awakening USA and had an international ministry team of about 50 people. As a result there were many healings. There was a successful mission trip to Cuba in February where Alun and Donna led a small team in praying for the sick during their numerous meetings and conferences. It was good to see so many impacted by the love of God and receive their healing. Another successful mission trip was Pakistan in December where Alun and Donna preached in different meetings to children and youth, pastors and leaders, women and family church. They also held a healing meeting and saw many healings including a man who was deaf in one ear hear again. Alun and Donna were priviledged to speak over zoom on Pakistan TV in February, Vietnam in May, Iran in December, Kingdom Come conference for Lapis Lazuli in May and Alun in Lunchtime Live for Victory Church, Southampton in March. Alun and Donna spoke at conferences during the year in Switzerland and Ghana and Alun in Rwanda and at several churches within the UK including Destiny & Identity Conference, Battersea, London, Shiloh in Grays, The Demonstration of Spirit and Power conference also in Grays, Revival Healing meeting in Barnstaple, Healing Service in Blackburn and Donna at a woman's conference called Crown of Beauty in Portsmouth. Alun led worship at many events during the year including their own Kingdom Power and Glory conference, Worshippers Praise Event in Swindon, Crown of Beauty in Portsmouth, Unblocking the Wells in Titchfield and is now a regular worship leader at their new home church, City Life Church in Portsmouth for their Sunday services and day conferences such as Holy Summit and Refresh. Alun was the worship leader at two monthly worship events called Dwell and House of Prayer both held at St Judes, Southsea, Portsmouth. ## **CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES** The vision remains the same to partner with other organisations to see Jesus’ heart displayed in Southampton, Portsmouth and across the world. The Stirring has a heart to see the Kingdom of God here, as it is in heaven. A passionate community of Gods people who love to worship Father God wholeheartedly. We regularly offer prayer for the sick, personal prayer ministry and prophetic encouragement. It is our desire to release God's will into the lives of those we meet and to fan the flames of revival fire wherever we go. We continue to build strong relationships with men and women of God from across the world who can train, equip and release believers into the ministry of Jesus. The Stirring is a place to be yourself, and become the kind of person that reflects the passion and heart of Jesus. We follow Him, to become like Him and do the kind of things He did and more. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** In the year ended 31st December 2023, the Charity received gross income of £32,174 (2022 19,047), including donations of £20,788 (2022 £18,350).

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year. ## **Basis of preparation:** The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2022. The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. ## **Assessment of Going Concern** Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. ## **Recognition of Incoming Resources** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: - the charity becomes entitled to the resources; - the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and - the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## **Incoming Resources with Related expenditure** Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA. ## **Grants and Donations** Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. ## **Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts** Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate. ## **Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants** This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services has been delivered. ## **Gifts in Kind** Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income receivable. ## **Volunteer Help** The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts and is described in the Report of the Trustees. ## **Donated Services and Facilities** These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. ## **Investment Income** This is included in the accounts when receivable. ## **Investment Gains and Losses** This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. This page does not form part of the statutory financial statements 10 ## **THE STIRRING, SOUTHAMPTON (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** ## **Expenditure and Liabilities** ## **Liability Recognition** Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. ## **Governance Costs** Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advise to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. ## **Grants with Performance Conditions** Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. ## **Grants Payable without Performance Conditions** These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity. ## **Investments** Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value. ## **Pensions** Pension contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable. ## **Fund Accounting** Funds held by the charity are either: ## **1. Unrestricted funds** These are funds which can be used in accordance with the charity's objectives, at the discretion of the trustees. ## **2. Restricted funds** These are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. ## **3. Designated funds** These funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific purposes or projects. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. ## **Fixed Assets** Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. ## **Depreciation Expense** Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied are as follows: General Equipment 25% There has been no change to the accounting polices (Variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year.

RESERVES POLICY** The Directors have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Directors aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Directors will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. ## **17.

Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Directors' report.
