Impact Schools Team
The Impact Schools Team is a charity dedicated to promoting Christian values in and around local schools in North Powys.
A New Addition to the Team We've been praying for a third team member to serve the Welshpool area. In March 2023, God answered our prayers, and we appointed Cara Garton. She started in April 2023 and works two days a week, focusing on primary schools that feed into Welshpool High School and directly within the high school itself. Cara is a valuable asset to the team, with a passionate heart and exceptional IT skills.
Our Team Our team now consists of three part-time workers (all working two days a week):
-
Huw Ellis: Covers the Llanfair Caereinion area.
-
Darren Mayor: Covers the Llanfyllin area.
-
Cara Garton: Covers the Welshpool area.
Huw ,Darren and Cara lead assemblies and lessons in local primary and secondary schools, both in English and Welsh (Huw does Welsh ones). They have also expanded their outreach beyond schools. Huw has established and leads kids' and youth clubs in Llanfair Caereinion, while Darren has founded the Cross Keys in Llanfyllin and is involved in various community outreach ministries. Cara is involved in youth camps at Middle Park and expanding that work.
This year has been marked by significant growth in outreach, youth engagement, and faith development. Through school programs, camps, and community initiatives, we have reached over 1,000 children and young people , providing opportunities for adventure, relationship-building, and spiritual exploration.
