## 11. Trust Activity
This year has seen some encouraging developments in the ministry and work of Powerpack. Although the very large family events have not taken place, there have been many small teams who have been involved in providing children’s ministry for various church weekends away. These have been led by Linds Ledger who has been a very active member of the Powerpack team for several years. Many of our experienced team leaders have since come together to work with her to offer this service to churches. Meanwhile the training and consultancy has continued to grow both in this country and overseas. Unfortunately, the trip to Argentina planned for November had to be cancelled due to ill health. Again, our conference in March was very well received with around 70 delegates travelling from various parts of the UK for the weekend. Powerpack Ministries were also represented in Birmingham at the Hand In Hand Children’s Leaders annual conference and Heather Thompson was one of the speakers. She was
presented with a Lifetime Achievement award for services to children’s ministry. Return visits for ongoing consultancy and for further training events were made to America and also to Norway.
Financially, the total income for the year was £35,637 and the expenditure was £35,782 so overall there was a small loss of £145. The trustees feel that, given the healthy state of the Trust and the continuing needs of children with the training and resourcing of children’s leaders, it is well placed to fulfil its objectives in the coming year.

Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees of The Powerpack Trust
I report to the TteeS on my examinatlon of the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025.
Respective responslbilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner
The Trustees are sponsIble for preparing the accounts. The charitys Trustees consider that an audit
is not required for this period under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charitie5 Act) and that an
independent examination is needed. The tharitys gross income did not exceed £250.000 and l am
qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Assosciation of Chartered
Certified Accountants.
It is my responsibility to=
examine the accounts under sertion 145 of the Charities Act 2011,
follow the procedures laid down in 8eneral dirertions given by the Charrty Commission
(under section 145(5)(b> of the Charities Art, and
stste whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examlnerfs Report
My examlnation was carried out In accordance with the General Directions 8iven 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 indudes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures In the accounts and seekfrng explanations from the Trustees concerning
any such matters. The prOdureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required
in an audit, and consequently opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair
Vie and the report is limited to those matter5 Set oui in the ststement below.
Independent Examinerfs Statsment
I have completed my examination. I confim that no material matters have come to my attention in
connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that, in any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance wsth section 130 of the Charities Act,
the accounts do not accord with such records.
I have no concerns and have come across other matters in connection wlth the examlnation to which
attention should be drawn in this port in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to
be reached.
