## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2023
## **Objectives and activities (continued)**
## **The charity's main activities**
The Charity principle activity is to engage with the community and local area in letting out rooms to groups for activity space. Keep Fit, Bingo and Social group, Luncheon Club, Drum Majorettes, Yoga, Social Dancing, Art for Fun are the weekly groups that we host.
We also let out space for meetings, social events, (parties and celebrations) and other one off events. Any group that is not religious or political but can reach out to the community in order for them to engage with others to share fellowship through a common pastime.
## **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**
We hosted 13 Asian events during 2023 and returned a deposit for another one, due to a family bereavement.
All our groups have continued to use the Trinity Centre over 2023, and a regular Yoga class has now joined us. Some groups came for parts of the year, e.g. regular fortnightly bird shows over two months.
A new website was set up for us by Dewsbury IT at a cost of £150 per year to replace the old one. We also transferred our power supply from SSE to Scottish Power in January 2023. We needed to purchase 3 new parts for the gas heaters in the main hall after an inspection found the old ones unsafe, this incurred a cost of £3,617.
The Trinity Centre celebrated 25 year anniversary in the summer since it was formed in 1998.
## **Financial review**
The net receipts for the year were £3,584 all unrestricted funds.
The Trinity Centre’s year began well with a bank balance in our current account on 1 January 2023 of £17,115 and a reserve account balance of £1,441.
The Trinity Centre’s income for 2023 was £19,863 without adding any residual funds retained from the previous year.
The expenditure for 2023 was £16,279. This shows the Trinity Centre in a profit position of £3,584 for the year.
However, when you add in funds accumulated from previous years we had a current bank balance as of 31 December 2023 £16,699 and a reserve balance of £5,441.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £21,670.
The trustees have not formally adopted a reserves policy at the moment but they will look into this for next year.
Approved by the board of trustees on 09/05/2024
