Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
To further or benefit the residents of Batley Carr and the surrounding area, 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 to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of live 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.
The charity's main activities
The main activity of the trinity centre during 2021 was to rent out rooms, to support both local groups and organisations to continue to function, along with individual members of the public who wish to organise private parties.
The Trinity Centre has continued to host some of these groups themselves.
In the summer months we held outdoor events selling clothes and other goods in order to raise money.
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.
Achievements and performance
The Trinity Centre's income was £43,551, the expenditure was £6,182. This then gives the Centre a profit of £37,369.
The Trinity Centre has had grants totalling £12,500 given as recovery grants.
We also received a grant from the National Lottery in September for £10,000 to replace the tarmac path by the emergency door at the side of the building including installing a disabled ramp and storm porch. The work has yet to be completed.
The building began to re-open in late June after this last lock down to slowly re-introduce our customers back to holding events and classes. During the summer months we held a number of outdoor sales of mainly clothes but other goods as well.
Some of our main groups have continued to flourish and these include Social Dancing, Yorkshire Supremes, Art for Fun and Keep Fit. We also hosted 19 Asian celebrations during the later half of the year.
We had a Christmas Tree donated to the cost of £40 by a Luncheon Club customer.
We have continued to keep our hiring charges low to encourage all our groups to return.
We are indebted to the Team Parish of Dewsbury for meeting the cost of all our power and insurance bills for this last year from their recovery grant which has enabled the Trinity Centre to meet 2022 in a much stronger position.
The Bank statement for 31st December 2021 shows we have £33,013 in the current account and £4,354 set aside in a reserve fund account.

Financial review
The net receipts for the year were £37,369, including net receipts of £27,369 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £10,000 on restricted funds.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity's ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £27,369.
The trustees have not formally adopted a reserves policy at the moment but they will look into this for next year.
