Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre Trustees' annual report For the year ended 31 December 2020
Trustee induction and training
The trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity being practicing Yogis themselves. All are sympathetic to the teachings of Sri Swami Sivananda Maharaj and generally are active in other associated non profit making centres which are part of the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre movement worldwide. Trustees are active in the annual budgeting process and are very familiar with the objectives of the Centre. Information regarding the duties of trustees are circulated to and discussed with all trustees.
Risk management
The board of management regularly conducts a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Regular reporting to the board of management helps minimise financial and operational risks and certain trustees regularly visit the centre. Individuals involved in running any classes are required to have the appropriate qualifications. Insurance is in place to protect against operational risks.
The charity's risk assessment has been updated and fine-tuned further under the guidance of a professional risk consultant.
Related parties
The Centre is affiliated in spirit to the extent permitted by applicable laws and the objects of the Centre, in aim and activity with the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, Val Morin ,Quebec, Canada, which was registered as a non-profit corporation in the Province of Quebec, Canada in conformity with Article 2, Chapter 271, Statutes 1964 of Canadian legislation on 29 November 1965. There are affiliated Centres throughout the world.
Objectives, activities and public benefit
The company's principal activity during the year remains to advance the Hindu religion by the propagation, practice and dissemination of the spiritual teachings and doctrines of the Indian saint, mystic and sage His Holiness Sri Swami Sivananda, founder of the Divine Life society, Rishekesh, India. The trustees have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commissioners including public benefit guidance and they consider that the work carried out by the centre is for the public benefit.
In furtherance of these objects the Centre brings together persons interested in the discipline of Yoga and promotes the knowledge of such discipline. This is achieved by running a centre at its operational address to promote the theory and practice of such a discipline. Projects are occasionally undertaken at other venues.
Classes in meditation and relaxation are offered. The five basic principles of yoga promoted by Swami Vishnudevananda are taught as part of the classes. Teacher training, retreats and special programmes take place at the centre and occasionally at other venues. Invited guests visit the centre to assist in providing some of the special programmes.
Investment and funding
The trustees confirm that all the income and expenditure is for the sole purpose of meeting these objectives.

Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre Trustees' annual report For the year ended 31 December 2020
Achievements and performance
The main area of charitable activity is the running of classes, courses and teacher training held at the centre and also taught online during Covid times and retreats to achieve the charitable objectives of the centre. The centre also runs a boutique shop located at its operational address where products promoting the activities of the centre are for sale. The range of products are regularly reviewed and stock levels are carefully monitored. The centre has written various books promoting the objects of the charity, Royalties are received from these books which are also available for sale in the boutique.
The centre is dependent on and grateful for the contributions rendered by its unpaid volunteers who play an essential role in helping to achieve the objectives of the centre.
Achieving these goals is dependent on the number of people attending the classes and courses organised by the Centre. These numbers are affected by general economic trends and the income does vary each year. During 2020 numbers dropped significantly due to the pandemic. The Centre was closed from March to September 2020 and from the beginning of November to the beginning of December.
Members of the centre
Members of the Centre, as distinct from members of the board of management, are entitled to a discount on classes, courses, workshops and retreats. The Centre has an active membership scheme. There are currently 51 members of the centre who pay a subscription, to be members.
Financial review
Principal funding sources
Income from charitable activities in the year comprised £97,642 (2019: £247,102). The trustees are satisfied with the level of income given the exceptional situation with the pandemic. This income is derived from yoga classes, courses and teacher training of £83,648 (2019: £203,665) and Income from retreats and other programs which promote the objects of the charity.
Other trading activities include income from sales in the boutique of related yoga and meditation products of £5,399, (2019: £22,575).
Donations have decreased in the year, down to £11,685 (2019: £28,142) and include an amount of £Nil from an individual donor (2019: £20,000). Gift aid tax has not been claimed in the year amounting to £Nil (2019: £586).
Covid related grants were received from Wandsworth Borough Council of £27,000 (2019: £Nil)
Costs are incurred in running the classes, courses and teachers training at the centre's premises and at other locations. The expenditure has been apportioned between these different charitable headings.
No fundraising is undertaken directly and no costs are incurred in that regard.
The deficit in funds for the year of £93,371 is stated after depreciation of £99,309.
Investment policy
The Board has the power to make investments under the Articles and can appoint a professional investment manager if deemed appropriate. No such appointment has been made. The Board takes a very prudent view regarding the investment of surplus funds which are invested in bank balances as funds are required to meet the centre's ongoing needs and to build up reserves.
4
Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre Trustees' annual report For the year ended 31 December 2020
Financial position at year end and reserves policy
The charity has a reserves policy that unrestricted funds in the form of free reserves not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets should represent between 3-6 months of expenditure. The board recognise that this is important as a significant proportion of the reserves are invested in the freehold property owned by the charity.
The centre has cash balances of £65,472 and net current liabilities of £143,813 at the year end (2019: cash balances of £63,530 and net current liabilities of £110,866).
Annual expenditure was circa £235,000 which means circa £58,750-£117,500 of reserves are required.
The Centre is keen to increase the available net assets and is working to achieve this over a period of time.
The charity has loans from other centres. These loans are denominated in a foreign currency. The charities functional currency is £ Sterling. Foreign exchange differences arise on these outstanding loans at the year end. In 2020 there is a foreign exchange loss of £28,246 (2019: £23,564 gain).
Plans for future periods and impact of Covid 19
The Covid-19 pandemic has continued through and beyond the year end. The charity has been running classes online since the very beginning of the first lock-down and also offers UK based students the possibility to participate in international, online Teacher Training Courses (TTC's). Despite these online activities, Covid has resulted in a significant drop in income in 2020 and there is uncertaintity regarding a major recovery in income in 2021.
The Centre received financial support from Wandsworth Council and the RBS. Under the qualifying criteria for the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund, the Centre was granted and received £27,000 in the year. RBS initially granted the charity a 6 month capital repayment holiday, which was afterwards, extended to one year. In 2021, a further 6 month capital repayment holiday was granted.
The duration and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remains unclear at this time. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration and severity of the consequences as well as their impact on the financial position and results of the Company for future periods.

Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2020
1 Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under historical cost convention in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.
b) Public benefit entity
The charitable company meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102.
Concessionary loans
The centre has received loans from other centres and from a trustee. These are at rates below the prevailing market rates of interest of a similar commercial loan . The loans have been treated as public benefit concessionary loans under the definition in the Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102. These loans are reported at the amount received adjusted for any unpaid accrued interest. The loans have not been discounted to their present value and the liability in subsequent years is not recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
c) Going concern At the date of these accounts, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to be a significant international event with the impact being felt in the UK and the rest of the world.
As indicated in the trustees report steps have been taken to try and minimise such risks with the help of Government grants and support from the Company's bankers and other centres.As such the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
d) Income All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities
-
when receivable.
-
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services
-
provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
-
Investment income is included when receivable.
-
Books and other items donated for resale through the charity's boutique are included as other trading activities when they
-
are sold.
-
Yoga classes, courses and teacher training income is treated as charitable activities and are accounted for when earned.
-
Subscription income is treated as part of income from charitable activities as it is for a service received. Subscriptions paid
-
in advance are deferred to future periods.
e) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held in bank accounts 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.
- f) Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

1 Accounting policies - continued
g) Expenditure
-
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure is stated net of Vat. Any irrecoverable VAT is reported separately:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the cost associated with attracting voluntary income.
-
Charitable activities expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services
-
for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resources. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly , others are apportioned on an appropriate basis per floor areas, per capita or estimated usage as set out in note 6.
h) Allocation of support costs Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates to that activity. The cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the overhead costs of the central function, are apportioned based on the amount attributable to each activity.
- i) Tangible fixed assets Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the
Freehold buildings 2% on building-straight line Improvements to land and buildings 5% straight line Equipment, furniture and fittings 20% reducing balance basis

j) Stocks
Stock is valued at the estimated lower of cost and net realisable value.
k) Debtors Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discounts offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
- l) Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand includes bank balance kept in current accounts.
m) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments which are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
- n) Leasing and hire purchase commitments
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.
- o) Foreign currencies
