Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre Trustees' annual report For the year ended 31 December 2022
Trustee induction and training
The trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity being practising 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. Most trustees are active in the annual budgeting process and are very familiar with the objectives of the Centre. Information regarding the duties of trustees is 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 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 Centre's principal activity during the year remains to advance the Hindu religion as a way of life 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, Rishikesh, India, who taught the yoga of synthesis as a means to reach physical and mental wellbeing and ultimately Self-realisation.
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, yoga and relaxation are offered. The five basic principles of yoga promoted by Swami Vishnudevananda are taught as part of the classes. Certificate courses, 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 2022
Achievements and performance
The main area of charitable activity is the running of classes, courses, workshops, residential certificate courses held at the centre and retreats to achieve the charitable objectives of the centre. There are also online yoga classes and courses. 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 2022 numbers remained lower than pre pandemic years, but towards the end of the year, the Centre saw a gradual increase in student numbers. There was good attendance for the annual Easter retreat and the residential certificate courses in the centre.
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 96 members of the centre who pay a subscription, to be members.
Financial review
Principal funding sources
Income from charitable activities in the year comprised £80,095 (2021: £91,130). The trustees are satisfied with the level of income given the exceptional situation with the ongoing cost of living crisis. This income is derived from yoga classes, courses (including online courses), teacher training, workshops, retreats and other programs.
Other trading activities include income from sales in the boutique of related yoga and meditation products of £11,219 (2021: £2,643), Royalties £Nil (2021: £658).
Insurance claims relating to accidental property damages amounted to £7,533 (2021: £Nil) and are included in income under their charitable heading of the claim, as follows: £6,903 charitable activities and £630 other trading activities.
Donations received have decreased in the year, down to £5,457 (2021: £13,913). Gift aid income of £2,585 (2021: £Nil) is included in total donations.
Costs are incurred in running the classes, courses and residential certificate courses 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 £151,133 (2021: £28,882) is stated after depreciation of £95,728 (2021: £87,354).

Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre Trustees' annual report For the year ended 31 December 2022
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.
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 £37,581 and net current liabilities of £396,279 at the year end (2021: cash balances of £61,919 and net current liabilities of £324,420).
Annual expenditure was circa £248,000 which means circa £62,000-£124,000 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 2022 there is a foreign exchange loss of £43,278 (2021: £23,455 gain).
Plans for future periods
After 18 months of Capital Repayment Holidays granted to the centre by Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) from mid-2020 to December 2021, the capital repayments re-started in January 2022 while interest rates were rising steeply resulting in a significant increase in the monthly overhead compared to 2021. The Sivananda Yoga Seminar House in Reith lent funds to the London Centre to redeem the business loan with RBS. This loan redemption took place in September 2022. A new loan agreement was set up between Reith and London to refund the borrowed sum of 570,000 Euros over a period of 20 years. Now the monthly refunds are smaller compared to the RBS loan repayments and the interest rate is fixed, returning progressively to a more balanced financial position looks more possible than at any time since the pandemic began.
The first external retreat since the pandemic took place over Easter in a rented venue in the UK countryside. The retreat was fully booked and students have also returned to attend residential certificate courses in the centre.
Going forward, the Centre is increasing the offer of retreats and residential courses to make full use of the generous space of the Centre’s premises and to work towards a major recovery of income.

Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2022
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 second edition October 2019), 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. 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, cost of living crisis has impacted the speed of the post Covid - 19 recovery of the Charity's net incoming resources.
As indicated in the trustees report steps have been taken to try and minimise the impact of rapidly increasing interest rates and costs. New ways of generating income have been put in place. The accounts have therefore 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.

Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022
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
The estimated value of the land is not depreciated.
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
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.
