Since ARM-UK began the weekend programme used has been “The Life in the Spirit Experience” and at each event we receive feedback from the local church, which helps us to evaluate the effectiveness of our ministry. ## Who Beneftted From Our Work? Our work over the period 2023-24 has, much the same as last year, been in recovery mode following the Covid-19 pandemic. It seems that many churches still have some degree of nervousness about hosting events such as our ‘Life in the Spirit Experience’. It also seems that many churches have had a reduction in their volunteer capacity and so are not taking on anything extra. ## **Financial Review** Our main sources of income in this period has come from donations from individuals. ## Reserves Policy TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 4 It is the view of the trustees that Aldersgate Renewal Ministries-UK does not need to operate with financial reserves at this time for our on-going work. Our principle costs arise from running weekend events and the income from these events more than covers the costs. However, our reserves policy is to build up our reserves so that we can employ someone to develop to the scope and the work of ARM-UK. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ## Governing Document The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered as a charity on 26th July 2016.
