Mission and Public Benefit Statement
EESW is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee and is in its 35th year of operation. The Scheme was set up to encourage school and college students to take an interest in STEM subjects and to consider careers in engineering and manufacturing, and now seeks to engage with young people from primary school age up to sixth form level. EESW interventions include a mix of short engagements and long-term projects and are designed to have lasting impact on learners. Approximately 450 sixth form learners are now participating each year and approximately 8500 pupils are involved annually across the Charity's various projects. One of the major challenges in the STEM sector is the need to encourage diversity and _ inclusion, and EESW hasa focus on gender inequality. This is achieved through positive marketing of our activities and by offering a range of activities targeted specifically at females and by using role models to directly interact with young people.
The project strands are fully inclusive and deliver STEM skills to different age groups in the key stages of young people's education. There are several projects which offer progression and continuity in STEM activities to encourage re-engagement of pupils throughout their academic lives. They aim to include involvement of external volunteers from industry & FE/HE organisations, as well as professional institutions to contextualise and enrich activities to raise aspirations and widen career horizons for students. The project will also be able to build, year on year, on young peoples' transferable employability and soft skills and help them to make more informed subject choices by offering progressive STEM opportunities. Our activities are also designed to give added value for pupils who are supported to enter for CREST awards.
-
Young people gain a number of benefits through extended involvement in activities:
-
Better understanding of the importance of STEM subjects for employment.
-
- Increased understanding of engineering and manufacturing. - Enhanced understanding of maths and science through contextualised application. - Real experience of team work and team leadership. - Enhanced communication skills.
-
Industry based problem solving experience. - Increased self-confidence and motivation.
Trustee and principal officers information
The charity is organised and policy implemented via a director and a team of experienced educationalists and Chartered Engineers throughout Wales. There were six trustees meetings held during the year.

Risk Assessment
The major risks to which the charity is exposed have been identified and mechanisms are in place to mitigate and monitor those risks. Any perceived risks are considered at the trustee meetings and any necessary actions are implemented to reduce the risk areas of concern.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Activities
The 13 years of funding from the European Social Fund came to an end in 2023. The main activity of the Charity during the year continued to be funded by the Welsh Government Education Directorate, in respect of the EESW Sixth Form Project, F1 in Schools project for secondary schools and Girls into STEM industry visits. Replacement funding was sought by the EESW team for the range of projects previously funded by European funding, this was achieved through a successful Welsh Government funding bid to the Innovation team for the F1 primary schools activity. We also received continued support from the Institution of Engineering and Technology for the First Lego League events for the 2024-25 academic year.
The Charity sought funding for its i2E in-school workshop activities through bids to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and was successful in three local authorities of Ceredigion, Conwy and Wrexham through its Key Funds programme and through Bridgend through a separate application activity. Other funding received this year included a donation from the Spectris Foundation, funding form the Royal Society of Chemistry to build upon the previous year's Sustainable Farming project to develop a Sustainable Waste project for secondary schools, continued delivery of Engineering UK's Big Bang at School programme and funding from the Pen Y Cymoedd Community Fund to deliver wind turbine sessions. EESW also delivered a new pilot project through CSconnected to primary schools to introduce a basic knowledge of semiconductors and obtained further funding to develop a Sustainable Homes project at secondary school level.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
At the year end the Charity had unrestricted reserves equal to eight months' worth of expenditure (based on the total costs for the year to 30 June 2025). The Trustees' target is to maintain reserves equivalent to six to nine months' worth of expenditure. The Trustees review both the Charity's level of reserves and the reserves policy itself on a regular basis to ensure that the objectives of the Charity can be met.
Investment policy
The Charity invests surplus funds for short to medium term on the best terms available for the period of time for which the funds are available in major UK based financial institutions.
Review of transactions and financial position
The charity recorded a surplus of £21,116 during the year (2024 - deficit of £59,192). Total incoming resources for the year were £685,073 (2024 - £490,874).

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Whilst the organisation has continued to meet targets for funded activities, the Board will now need to closely consider any financial impact that the end of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund projects will have on the Charity. The Charity has reviewed its reserves policy and will closely monitor the impact of any changes in income expected for the year against expenditure. It is widely acknowledged that industry in Wales is currently undergoing significant changes, and whilst there are job losses there is still a future skills shortage which needs addressing. The Charity will continue to work towards this aim alongside other priorities, to assist with the challenges of creating a green economy and changing industry focus.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Engineering Education Scheme Wales Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
i) Voluntary income is received by way of donations and membership fees and is included _ in accounts when receivable.
ii) Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant which will normally be when the grant is actually received. Grants, where related to the performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Deferred income represents grant monies received for future periods and released to incoming resources in the period to which it relates.
