## **Trinity Centre - Treasurers Report for 2025**
The Trinity Centre’s year began well with a bank balance in our current account on 1[st] January 2025 of £16710 and a reserve account balance of £5440.
The Trinity Centre’s income for 2025 was £15382 without adding any residual funds retained from the previous year.
The expenditure for 2025 was £24007. This shows the Trinity Centre in a deficit position of £8625 for the year.
## **However, when you add in funds accumulated from previous years we had a current bank balance as of 31[st] December25 £11515 and a reserve balance of £1192.**
We hosted a small number of one off events during 2025 raising £4368.
All our groups have continued to use the Trinity Centre over 2025 but membership is often low numbers and can be very patchy.
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 £2304.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2025
## **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.
## **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 continued to serve local people throughout the area during this year providing space for groups to run a range of activities. We also hosted a number of private celebratory events for families and their guests. We have supported some groups where membership has declined, sometimes wavering running costs in order to keep this group running. This has helped in offering a wide number of activities to the local population.
In September 2025 the trustees agreed, given the Centre's declining level of activities and the associated impact on the CIO's finances, to cease activities at the Centre on 31 December 2025. Arrangements are currently being made to close down the CIO with any remaining net assets of the CIO to be transferred to organisations with similar charitable objects. Accordingly these will be the CIO's final set of accounts.
## **Financial review**
The net payments for the year were £8,520, including net payments of £8,809 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £289 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £12,395.
The trustees have not adopted a reserves policy.
Approved by the board of trustees on 26/5/2026
William Thompson (Trustee)
