The Tech is a charitable Community Benefit Society and its constitution states that it shall have the purpose of ensuring the preservation of The Holmfirth Technical Institute (Est. 1894) to further, in today’s context, its original founders’ ideals of providing education for children and adults and supporting the prosperity of the area.

Specifically, the Society shall seek to:

• benefit the residents of the Holme Valley and the neighbourhood, without distinction of age, sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by advancing education and providing 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.
  
• advance the education of the public in the subjects of, in particular but not exclusively, music and art.
  
• relieve hardship or unemployment of those in financial and economic need, in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision access to facilities and workspace and other assistance to enable such persons to become self-supporting.
