## **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.
## **Key Highlights**

## **On the accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2025**
## **Set out on the following pages**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity¹s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as 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:
(1) 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 2011 Act; and
- • To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act Have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
