## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To further or benefit the residents of Hainworth Wood and the neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the Local Authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
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.
The community centre has also been used as Polling station.

## Hainworth Wood Community Centre Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **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

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hainworth Wood Community Centre
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
