In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the trustees shall have power:
To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education and advancement of community development.
Achievements and performance
Special events to celebrate as a community
Annual Summer Fair, Christmas Fair and Easter Fair – we invited local residents to have a table top to sell their homemade products at each fair.
Our landlord Incommunities also had a stall at each of our events which organised activities for children.
The community centre also had a tombola, bric a brac, clothes, and served refreshments and sandwiches at each event.
Dart Club Christmas Lunch – A four course home cooked Christmas lunch, with bucks fizz on arrival, a raffle and play your cards right and a gift to take home.
Family Children’s Party – disco, food for all the family with a gift to take home.
Family Halloween Party – disco, musical statues, wrap the mummy, food for all the children and adults supported by Big Local Trust.
Activities
Thursday Conversation Café – an informal space for people to drop in and meet one another and this is for people of all ages.
Our Tuesday Luncheon Club has gone from strength to strength with around 20 people each week we provide a two course hot meal – main and dessert, the participants bring a prize for the raffle table which is enjoyed by all.
The Positive Strength exercise class is led by a professional trainer; an exercise class designed to promote muscle strength and balance and is aimed at over 55’s however anyone can join in and in the last year we have seen younger people coming through the door to take part with an average of around 10 people per class and after each class we provide a warm space with a light lunch.
Parent and toddler/baby group is a volunteer led group which has been running for over a year now giving parents and their little ones a place to come and play and meet one another, at this we provide refreshments and snacks for both adults and children.
We engaged with Youth Services to run an after School Club doing inside and outside activities for 8 to 11 years, which has been supported by the West Yorkshire Mayors Fund.

Achievements and performance (continued)
Activities continued
Cook and Eat family sessions hosted by trustees and volunteers for all ages to cook healthy and budget meals together with Keighley Healthy.
School holiday activity days – art and craft sessions, cook and eat and gardening and family bingo.
Food and warmth
Emergency food parcels in conjunction with Salvation Army. Social prescribers, GPs, Social services and local schools.
We have been supporting around 40 families with regular monthly food parcels supported by Bradford Council's Household Support Fund which are provided to local residents who have been referred as in need of the support
Hainworth Community Kitchen on the first and third Sunday of the month providing a free breakfast/lunch open to everyone. The Co-op has been a great support providing food.
When the doors are open we provide a warm and welcoming space with hot drinks and snacks.
We continue to serve the community by providing support for those who struggle with the cost of living.
Hainworth Wood Community Centre
Throughout the year we held an Easter Fair, Summer Fair and Christmas fair to try and raise funds for the centre.
Easter party, Halloween party and Christmas Party these special events held throughout the year bring the whole community together.
All our activities are run with support from external grants and donations.
We have continued to ensure the community centre is safe and maintained and have recently installed a new CCTV system.
Have a defibrillator installed on the outside of the building.
We have held regular planning meetings to ensure the centre is running smoothly and providing activities.
Financial review
The net receipts for the year were £8,899, including net payments of £1,049 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £9,948 on restricted funds, after transfers.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £40,825.
The trustees have agreed a reserves policy and have decided that they would look to maintain reserves which cover between three and six months running costs, 3 months salary and on costs for the community worker as well as having sufficient monies available to cover periodic capital costs for the maintenance and repair of the Centre.
The trustees recognise that actual reserves exceed the CIO's upper reserves target this year. Due to the massive increase in running costs and funding opportunities becoming less and less, we feel it is necessary to keep a higher threshold of reserves.
Approved by the board of trustees on 29 January 2025
