## **Section C Objectives and activities**
**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
Advance the education of the public, in the subjects of governance, politics, civil society and debating. Especially but not exclusively through workshops in schools and through the creation and dissemination of online media.
2023-2024
Impart Annual Report
In this, our first full financial year, Impart has had exceptional growth. Entering many new schools on a small budget and helping to educate more than 300 students. We also improved our brand recognition through our well-attended event in Parliament with guest VIP speakers, and through our online presence and on social media. Our activities can be categorised into three areas – our work in schools, advocacy, and partnerships: In schools: The vast majority of our work occurs within schools where we run debating workshops and provide resources to teachers for them to run their own debating sessions. This year, we have entered many new schools to establish debating societies, with teachers running weekly sessions using our resources. We visit all our schools termly to ensure the smooth operation of the society and to provide additional support and opportunities. We support our schools to attend external debating competitions such as the South Hampstead High School competitions, as well as organising mini competitions between our schools.
We have begun to expand our offer to provide citizenship and politics sessions, as well as careers advice and assemblies to some of our schools.
## Advocacy:
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
Our primary focus with our advocacy work is to encourage the government to provide oracy/debating as part of the curriculum and provide funding for schools to establish debating societies. To achieve this, we hosted an event in Parliament with political commentator Alastair Campbell and the national debate team. We had over 100 attendees, including students from some of our first schools who also gave speeches during the event. The event also brought us greater recognition online with over 1,200 social media interactions on posts about the event. This was where we secured some of our first donations and recruited new debate coaches.
We have also undertaken some international advocacy work. We were invited to attend the Global Futures Forum, a UN (United Nations) funded conference in New York. Impart produced educational resources to improve accessibility for younger/less politically active members. Whilst there, our CEO Francesca Reynolds gave a speech on the importance of engaging young people from all backgrounds in diplomacy and international affairs. Partnerships: To expand the number of schools we work with and our outreach, we have built connections with a number of other charities. These include organisations like the Elephant Group which supports students from under-privileged backgrounds to get into Russell Group universities. Through our partnership with the Elephant Group, we have entered new schools and also helped them to run mock interviews for students applying for politics degrees. We have also worked with several other organisations including Target Oxbridge (which helps under privileged year 12 and 13 students access Cambridge and Oxford Universities) and The Limun Foundation (London International Model United Nations). –
When planning and executing these activities, the trustees and CEO have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit. In particular, Impart’s public benefit focus is on education, specifically
2023-2024
Impart Annual Report
relating to citizenship, politics, critical thinking and debating. This is evident throughout the activities above where we primarily spend our time actively delivering, or providing the resources to enable others to deliver, political and debate education at state-funded schools where such educational opportunities are often lacking. Such skills assist students in a multitude of ways, making them more employable, helping them into top universities, and supporting their social mobility. **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
A highlight of this year has been the growth of our volunteer team. We have six volunteers assisting with the operational side of the organisation – the website, fundraising, event planning, etc. And a further seven volunteer debate coaches who go into our schools to run debating sessions. Their dedication and passion is inspirational and deserves a specific acknowledgment in this report.
**Section D Achievements and performance** Impart has had a year of extraordinary growth and development of **Summary of the main** reputation. The charity has entered 24 new schools and partnered with **achievements of the charity** four new organisations. The team has grown to 13 volunteers enabling us **during the year** to expand throughout the UK. We have organised our first inter-school debate competition and a separate debate enrichment day where the school’s entire sixth form spent a day learning how to debate and practising with our coaches. Our schools are providing consistent and positive feedback, for example: **Feedback from Michelle Shread, Assistant Head of Sanders Drapers School –** _“Upon beginning the debate club, using resources from Impart UK, our students are flourishing from the experience! The students, through the detailed resources supplied, are able to run the club themselves, displaying real skills in not just debating, but leadership, teamwork and organisational skills. The confidence that many have gained is shining through and the students love the club! I cannot thank (Impart UK) enough for the opportunity they have provided for our students!”_ **Section E Financial review** Impart has small reserves due to it being a new charity. We have some **Brief statement of the** donations pending that will add to the reserves. **charity’s policy on reserves** Fortunately, we have few regular outgoings as we have no salaried staff or assets, only volunteers. However, to ensure sustainability of the schools we currently support and our growth plans, we must have sufficient funds to enable regular school visits. We currently have such funds for our existing schools, but as we expand further, we are focused on building the reserves to ensure that financial sustainability. **Details of any funds materially** NA **in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information)**
2023-2024
Impart Annual Report
This year, Impart received its first donations. These all came through the Parliament event where donations were taken with tickets and one person asked to donate directly to avoid money going to the ticket vendor.
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about:
- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
We are fortunate to have been able to expand on very little money due to volunteer’s generosity of time and often refusing to expense their travel costs due to their commitment to the cause (though for longer journeys and with a lot of encouragement, they’re beginning to do so). Francesca Reynolds (our CEO) also pays for things like the website and her own travel expenses from her own pocket.
- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
- investment policy and travel expenses from her own pocket. objectives including any ethical investment policy A priority of the next FY will be fundraising to enable an expansion of our adopted. operations.
## **Section F Other optional information**
This first full financial year of Impart’s operating has demonstrated our capacity to create significant impact with small amounts of money. For a London-based school, we are able to establish a fully functioning debate society, teaching in some cases 100+ students with just the cost of two tube fares. This positions us uniquely for prospective donors as we have measurable, considerable, and direct impact with every donation.
