## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2024
## **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 charity's principal 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, Line Dancing. These are weekly groups. 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. We have had an Art and Book fair during the Summer and hosted a Christmas Fair last December.
We hosted a small number of one off events during 2024 raising £4,652 and returned two deposits for events cancelled due to family reasons.
All our groups have continued to use the Trinity Centre over 2024 but we lost a regular booking with the Yorkshire Majorettes towards the end of the year. A regular Line Dancing class has now joined us. Some groups came for parts of the year, eg, regular fortnightly bird shows over two months.
We secured a grant of £1,500 from the Birstall and Batley Community Fund which helped us to move from conventional outside lighting to LED. We needed to purchase one new Drugstar gas heater in the small hall after an inspection found the old ones unsafe, this incurred a cost of £2,136.
## **Financial review**
The net payments for the year were £936, including net payments of £466 on unrestricted funds and net payments of £470 on restricted funds, after transfers.
The Trinity Centre’s year began well with a bank balance in our current account on 1[st] January 2024 of £16,699 and a reserve account balance of £5,441.
The Trinity Centre’s receipts in 2024 were £23,030 without adding any residual funds retained from the previous year.
The payments in 2024 were £23,966. This shows the Trinity Centre in a net payments position of £936 for the year.
However, when you add in funds accumulated from previous years we had a current bank balance as of 31[st ] December 2024 £17,829 and a reserve balance of £3,375.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £21,204.
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 12/5/2025
