## **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**

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025
## **Achievements and performance continued**
## **School Holiday Activities**
In the school holidays we have done many activities including painting, rock painting, crafting, cooking then eating together, family bingo with a buffet lunch.
## **Food and warmth**
This remains pretty much the same:
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 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 3[rd] 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.
## **Celebration activities**
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.
## **Centre maintenance**
The CCTV system has been invaluable; we suffered some criminal damage and were able to identify the individuals that did this and a suitable resolution was met with the police.
The defibrillator has been requested many times but not used except for one occasion when the family told us after that had it not been for the centre having it installed the individual would have lost their life.
Now we have a community development worker in place, regular updates are provided, and we know that the centre is in safe hands and run smoothly with no issues.
## **Financial review**
The net payments for the year were £8,243, including net payments of £710 on unrestricted funds and net payments of £7,533 on restricted funds, after transfers.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £40,115.
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; which based on 2024/2025 expenditure equates to between £18,200 and £36,350. These reserves would provide cover for 3 months salary 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 upper reserves target. Due to the massive increase in running costs and funding opportunities becoming less we feel it is necessary to keep a higher level of reserves.
Approved by the board of trustees on 29/1/2026

## 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 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 11.
## **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.
