The Trustees are pleased to present IMPACT Family Centre’s Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 9 and comply with the charity’s trust deed and applicable law.

Objectives and Activities

Impact Family Centre is a faith-based charitable trust established to reach, touch and transform lives. Catering for all members of the family as well as the wider community, all our activities are grounded in biblical principles both spiritual and practical. Focusing on the whole person (body, spirit, mind, will and emotions), Impact is about having a life filled with God’s love and demonstrating that love in a practical way.

IMPACT Family Centre’s objects are:

Impact aims to:

Our activities, whether they come under Reach, Touch or Transform, all overlap with practices and disciplines learned from following the Way of the Kingdom.

Reach - Building healthy families and friendships as we model and share Christ-like relationships.

Touch - Meeting needs and touching lives with a practical expression of Christ’s love.

Transform - Discipleship - influencing change through teaching and nurturing.

Public Benefit

All of IMPACT Family Centre’s activities are charitable and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for public benefit.

’ TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] AUGUST 2023 - continued

Touch

We continued to meet in-person weekly on Sundays and virtual prayer meetings on Wednesdays. Where travel has been restricted for various individuals, we have met in various locations. We were able to hold several separate female enrichment gatherings throughout the year.

We provided financial support or domiciliary care to those who required it, including visits to homes or care homes for individuals who are not able to leave their home.

Our annual enrichment holiday was held at High Leigh Conference Centre with 52 people made up of 18 families.

Transform

We continued with reading through the Chronological Bible completing Genesis and pulling out key points of discipleship throughout the Bible.

September 2022 month of prayer and fasting focussed on Discipleship, using the God’s Life-Giving Word of Discipleship, and the 21 days prayer and fasting in January 2023 used the 21 Days of Prayer Challenge, both on the Bible App.

Last year we mentioned that we introduced a Sabbatical Policy for leaders and was happy for the return of two leaders and for the next couple to go on sabbatical. The leaders have continued to take time out together to rest, pray and ensure that there is unity in the direction going forward. Throughout the year, the core leadership team have embarked on two programmes. One focussed on discipleship using Robby Gallaty’s Discipleship resources and the other, a leadership programme ‘Beyond Success’ facilitated by Pastor Doug Williams of Emmanuel Community Church International.

We again are thankful to our employee and the volunteers who have continued with shared responsibilities.

Plans for future periods

Discipleship continues to be the focus for the group specifically walking through the scriptures and the practical application of the Word and the practices of the faith.

September 2023 and January 2024 fasting will focus on the letter of 1 John and 2 Peter. We will return to the chronological Bible following the fasting starting with Job which follows Genesis in the Tyndale One Year Chronological Bible.

Financial Review

Our income was reduced as the economic climate has impacted many. However, we are grateful to those who continued to give throughout the year, which enabled us to continue with our face-to-face activities and the enrichment holiday.

Principal Funding Resources

The principal sources of funding are collections and donations.

Reserves policy

Reserves are needed to bridge the gaps between incoming resources and spending on charitable activities and managing and administering the charity. Reserves are also held to cover possible emergencies.

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain appropriate to the charity’s needs and are aware that the reserves will need to be rebuilt following the next financial year.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Impact Family Centre.

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st August 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 10.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s 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:

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given 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 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 next statement.

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 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
