## **Trustees' Report, incorporating the Directors' Report**
## **for the year ended 31 December 2024**
The Trustees of The Terton Sogyal Trust present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the ‘Notes to the Financial Statements’ and comply with the Trust’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
## **Structure, Governance & Management**
The Terton Sogyal Trust is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 3 September 1996 and registered as a charity on 6 May 2015. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 each.
## **Trustees**
The Trustees of the charity who held office during the year are disclosed on page 3.
At the beginning of the year the Trust was held by the incumbent trustees Averil Schram, Mark Da Silva and Ralph Hodgson.
The trustees have the power to appoint any person to be a trustee either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing trustees. At every AGM one-third of the trustees and who are among the longest serving may put themselves forward for reappointment. The Articles of the Association of the Trust provides for a minimum of two and a maximum of seven trustees.
The trustees manage the business of the Trust. At the quarterly trustee’s meeting, the trustees agree the board strategy and areas of activity for the Trust. These include consideration of donations and expenditures, fundraising, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objects of the Trust are the promotion and advance of Buddhism in all parts of the world and in any manner that is charitable in law.
The aims of the Trust are:
- the establishment and maintenance of schools, centres, retreats, monasteries, nunneries and other institutions for the preservation study and practice of Buddhism;
- the establishment and maintenance of libraries and facilities for the preservation and study of Buddhism.
- to preserve Tibetan philosophy, logic, metaphysics, art, sacred dance, sacred music, art, crafts and skills, medicine and philosophy and the relics, images, objects (whether sacred or otherwise) associated with them.
The objectives for the year are shaped by these strategic aims namely:
- to provide funding and support for projects which make a far-reaching contribution towards the preservation and spread of the Buddhist teachings throughout the world and in particular the Dzogchen lineage of Tibet.
- to welcome donations of any size from those who have been moved or helped by the Buddhist teachings, who sense the urgency and need for these teachings in the contemporary world and who wish to support projects of deep and long lasting significance that benefit a great many people.
The Trust looks to achieve its strategic aims and carry out its operational objectives of the year through partnerships with institutions, in particular the Rigpa organisation, an international network of Buddhist charities with centres and groups in 23 countries around the world.
## **Achievements & Performance**
During the year the Trust made contributions towards various projects, namely: Light of Dharma grants, Lerab Ling temple maintenance, Mayumla’s cremation, Dzogchen Beara Temple, and the Lerab Ling Enlightenment Stupa.
## **The Endowment Fund**
The Endowment Capital Fund is a specific fund within the Trust reflecting bequests and donations held in perpetuity with associated investment income and charges shown in the Endowment Income Fund. Income generated from endowments are applied to the most important projects designated by the board of trustees.

## **Trustees' Report, incorporating the Directors' Report**
## **for the year ended 31 December 2024**
## **The Global Fund**
This is a generalised fund to promote and advance the Buddhist teachings in all parts of the world, in any manner that is charitable in law, and within The Terton Sogyal Trust’s charitable objectives, as prioritised by the board of trustees. This fund provides full flexibility in allocating bequests to their greatest effect and benefit.
## **The Rigpa Scholarship Fund**
The focus on this fund is the development of the ‘inner temple’ – the body of practitioners, scholars and teachers that will uphold Dharma traditions for the benefit of students throughout the world, both now and long into the future.
## **The Wisdom Culture of Tibet**
This project supports Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, masters, spiritual practices and social programmes in India and the Himalayan regions, in a concerted effort to keep the great wisdom culture of Tibet alive.
## **The Lerab Ling Institute of Wisdom & Compassion**
The Lerab Ling Institute of Wisdom & Compassion is situated near to Montpellier in the South of France. Lerab Ling is the spiritual heart centre of the worldwide Rigpa organisation. At Lerab Ling, Rigpa’s major international teaching programmes are held each summer, and Sogyal Rinpoche’s most sacred Buddhist paintings, images and relics from Tibet are enshrined. It is here that a modern Institute of Wisdom and Compassion has been developed, including a College of Buddhist Studies and practising spiritual community.
## **The Dzogchen Beara Retreat & Spiritual Care Centre**
The Dzogchen Beara Retreat & Spiritual Care Centre is situated near to Cork in southwest Ireland. Dzogchen Beara is the principal long-term retreat centre for Rigpa students worldwide. Its spectacular location and outstanding natural beauty make it a particularly powerful place for retreat and contemplation and for healing and renewal. These qualities have also made Dzogchen Beara home to Rigpa’s Spiritual Care Programme, where the Buddhist teachings on care for the dying are studied, practised and applied in practical ways to help those facing serious illness and death.
## **The Publications Fund**
The fund serves to maintain the operating transactions relating to a publications department that produces literature and journals associated with the promotion of Buddhism.
## **The General Fund**
Overhead and administrative costs are allocated to the funds in relation to the income earned on the fund. At the trustees’ discretion surplus fund balances on the General Fund are transferred back into active projects according to the Trust’s reserves policy.
## **Financial Review**
The Trust is reliant principally on income from donations and bequests. During the year total donations, legacies and gift aid recoverable amounted to £51,223 (2023: £39,923), and income from reserves held on investment and royalties generated £25,167 (2023: £29,780).
Expenditure through donations to the Trust’s main projects amounted to £37,197 (2023: £101,906) for the year. The Trust expended £5,022 (2023: £4,981) on administration and associated charitable activities and incurred foreign exchange losses of £26,757 (2023: £14,352).
The Trust made profits on investments of £27,696 (2023: Profit £20,753).
Net movement in funds for the year was a surplus of £35,142 (2023: deficit £30,783).
## **Reserve Policy**
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level that equates to approximately six months of unrestricted charitable expenditure.
## **Investment Policy**
The Trust’s policy for investment during 2023 remained under the guidance of the Rigpa Endowment Investment Committee (REIC) made up of specialist advisors who contribute their expertise in relation to investment policy and macro-economic trends. During the year the Trust continued to invest through the existent secure investment platform, Interactive Brokers (IB). Through the committee and investment platform the Trust maintains a prudent investment policy, with continued transparency regarding actions through monthly reports and advice from the REIC. The Trust remains confident in the policy at this time.

## **Risks Management**
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the Trust is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks.
## **Plans for the Future**
The Trust remains focussed on continued good governance, risk management and implementation of the investment policy. The Trust will continue to offer grants to further its aims and objectives by supporting the Lineage and Legacy Fund that enables a farreaching contribution to the preservation and spread of the Buddhist teachings. Future grants and donations will take into consideration the wider aims of the Trust. Continued development and upgrading of the Trust’s website will enable online donations to assist and support projects that further the Trust’s aims and objectives.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Trustees on 15 July 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities for the year ended 31 December 2024**
The trustees (who are the directors of The Terton Sogyal Trust for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- b) Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- c) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- d) Follow applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
- e) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and charity legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Terton Sogyal Trust**
I report on the accounts of The Terton Sogyal Trust for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 9 to 16.
This report is made solely to the trustees as a body in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As described on page 7, the trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the the Charities Act and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
- b) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 Act, or
- the accounts do not accord with such records; or
- **-** the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination, or
- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**The Terton Sogyal Trust (A Charity Company Limited by Guarantee, company number 3245152)**
## **Accounting Policies for the year ended 31 December 2024**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:
- a) Applicable UK accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)'.
- b) Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102);
- c) the Companies Act 2006.
- d) the Charities Act 2011.
## **Public benefit entity**
The charitable company meets the defination of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue to operate and accordingly the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
## **Foreign currency transactions**
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date or the transaction. Where material all differences are taken to the statement of financial activities.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company, apart from the investment portfolio which is invested in UK based investments denominated in Euros (€) and US Dollars ($) and converted to their Sterling equivalent at the accounting periods end. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
## **Income recognition**
Income is recognised when the charity has a contractual or other right to its receipt, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. Income with conditions attached to its receipt is recognised when those conditions have been fulfilled.
Income from royalties is included in income on receipt.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
## **Endowment funds**
Endowment funds are restricted funds which are capital in nature. Permanent endowments exist where there is no power to convert the capital into income. The funds can reduce where there are decreases in value, either by losses or depreciation, of assets represented by the funds.
## **Restricted Funds**
Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the funder. Direct and support expenditure which meets these criteria are identified to the fund together with a fair allocation of other costs.
## **Unrestricted Funds**
Unrestricted funds are funds received which have no restrictions placed on their use and are available as general funds.
## **Allocation of costs**
Costs are allocated directly to projects where they can be identified as relating solely to that project. Other costs are allocated between the projects based on criteria determined by the nature of the expense.
## **Investments**
Investments are shown in the balance sheet at closing market value. Surpluses or deficits on valuation are credited or charged to the statement of financial activities.

## **Restricted funds (continued)**
Projects financed by restricted funds are supported by unrestricted funding where necessary. This occurs where the funding is in arrears or the incidence of expenditure on the project occurs disproportionately at the beginning of the project compared to the income flows. Where restricted projects end the year with a deficit, this is met by after year-end restricted income or transfers from unrestricted funds.
Full details of the restricted funds are given in the Trustees Report.
