Public Benefit Statement:
Public benefit is at the heart of what it
Para 1.38
Policy on grant making means to be a charity. Two key principles
define this area: 1. There must be
identifiable benefits. 2. The benefits must be
to the public. The Trustees must carry out
the following: 1. Review the activities
undertaken for the public benefit. 2. State
whether they have complied with this duty.
The Temple is in Kensington & Fairfield that
the Government has identified as containing
areas of deprivation. The whole community
is welcome to use the Trust's facilities.
Temple complex is warm and comfortable,
and we recognise that some visitors may not
have any financial resources to make
donations. The starting point for a prayer
donation ticket continues to be £3,£5 &£10.
Thus, the aim is to make the Temple
available to all devotees of limited financial
means. The Trustees have reviewed the
activities undertaken for the public benefit
as noted above. Moreover, the Trustees
confirm their compliance with this duty and
that The Charity Commission's guidance on
public benefit has been followed.

functions, welcoming people of other faith to
the Temple and helping those in the
