**SATIPANYA BUDDHIST TRUST Trustees Report (Continued)**
## **STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE**
## **Constitution and Governing Document**
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was established on 5 September 2006, as a successor to an unincorporated trust of the same name. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. These have not been amended since incorporation. Legal responsibility for the management and stewardship of the Charity is vested in the board of trustees.
## **Organisational structure and decision making**
As set out in the Articles of Association, one-third of the directors/trustees are subject to retirement by rotation on an annual basis. The maximum number of trustees is 5 (of whom up to 2 may be co-opted) at any one point in time. There are currently 5 trustees.
The board of trustees, which meets at least once a year and also holds meetings by electronic communication _,_ administers the charity. Regular administrative and compliance matters are carried out by the Trust Secretary in consultation with the trustees.
## **Method of appointment or election of trustees**
Trustees are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
## **Induction and training of new trustees**
As part of their induction programme, all new trustees are required to read and be familiar with a number of key documents, including: the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the financial statements for prior years, the minutes of board meetings and Annual General Meetings. They are also provided with information relating to their duties as trustees and encouraged to make full use of the relevant publications on the Charity Commission website.
## **Relationship with other organisations**
The charity is not closely associated with any other organisations. Occasionally it may liaise with similar organisations, for example in arranging venues for meditation classes.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees have established procedures to minimise risks in the areas including Fire Safety, Food Hygiene Safety, Water Safety, Electrical Safety, Financial Safety (including the establishment of a reserve fund) & Psychological Safety (including a policy on Safeguarding). As a small enterprise with no staff we are not legally obliged to have a written Health and Safety policy. However, in view of the Charitees Commission recommendation that such a policy be written and formally adopted, we have developed a Health and Safety Policy statement along with detailed risk assessments, to be reviewed at the AGM.
## **Related Party Transactions**
The Trust does not make any payments to Managers and thus has no related party transactions.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives of the Charity as set out in its Governing Document**
The principal objectives of the Charity are to advance Buddhism by:
- Teaching the practice of Insight Meditation (Vipassana Bhavana) as taught by the Mahasi Tradition of Burma and the Buddhadhamma (the teachings of Buddha);
- Providing teacher training in Insight Meditation within the Mahasi Tradition; and
- Furthering the Buddhadhamma and Insight Meditation.
## **Review of activities**
## _**Residential Courses:**_
Satipanya re-opened to the public for its first full year since the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020. The winter, Easter, summer and autumn retreats were all offered as residential courses. A set of procedures and rules were applied to minimise the risk of covid, flu and other infections and retreatant numbers were reduced to 8 (instead of 10 pre-covid) to facilitate social distancing. Our rules were changed and updated to track the current guidelines and no outbreaks of covid or other infection occurred during the retreats.
Bhante Bodhidhamma also returned to his regular ‘Outside-Satipanya’ teaching schedule, travelling to Ireland and to Gaia House in Devon during Spring and then to the continent and various UK locations in Autumn before commencing his own personal retreat in Germany.
## _**On-Line Teachings and Support:**_
In parallel with the residential courses, the On-line Meditation Hall, the Satipanya Spiritual Companions and the London and South-East Satipanya Sangha all continued on-line, thereby
offering meditation and teaching / Sangha support for people in their ordinary daily lives. All programs continued to be well supported.
Noirin continued with her twice yearly teaching programme, where participants study Dhamma notes and follow the suggested practices for meditation and daily life before reporting their reflections and observations to a Forum on the Satipanya website.
The Trust has a website, www.satipanya.org, which sets out full details of the Trust's work. The website also provides the public with access to Buddhist teachings, including essays, recommended further reading and audio files that can be downloaded free of charge.
A monthly newsletter is also published. This is sent to the Trust's supporters and is also available on the website
## _**New Initiative: The Spiritual Challenge of Climate Change**_
Considering the increasing concerns over climate change, Bhante Bodhidhamma invited Gwen Sanderson, one of our Trustees and also a regular retreatant and Mahasi devotee, to write a piece for the August Newsbyte on a “Deep Adaptation” workshop she had attended; this had been led by the scientist-cum-activist Jim Bendell, and explored how humanity might adapt and even thrive despite the coming social stress and breakdown which many now consider inevitable due to climate change. Following from this, Bhante hosted an on-line meeting to discuss Gwen’s piece and support practitioners in bringing the issue into their spiritual lives. Resulting from this, two further initiatives commenced:
- Gwen facilitates monthly on-line Zoom meetings “Satipanya Climate and Crisis Conversations” where Insight Dialog practices allow meditative discussion on climate-change and how this is impacting on people’s lives. Prior to the meetings Gwen circulates some relevant essays / poems / video’s etc for reflection, and meetings end with the practice of Metta (goodwill) meditation.
- Noirin opened an on-line forum based around the ‘Six Maxims’ – practices that have been suggested as ethical training to prepare for the challenges that will be presented if and when social structures collapse under pressure from climate change. Noirin is writing a series of Newsbytes tips on these maxims, linking them with Dhamma teachings, and participants practice with one or other maxim for a period, posting reflections on the forum.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
The spiritual and psychological benefits of meditation are well-established. Regular meditation is recommended to help manage conditions such as depression, bereavement and relationship difficulties as well as illnesses such as chronic pain. Meditation adds joy to life and helps prevent burn-out and other psychological problems. All our retreats (both residential and on-line) are open to all adult members of the public. Thus Satipanya provides much benefit to the public.
For residential retreats, a small deposit of £15 a day to cover daily running costs is taken, while online courses are given entirely on a donation basis. Participants were given the opportunity to offer donations ( _dana_ ) at the end of the retreat.
The Trust's website includes video and audio files, which are available for free downloading, and printed essays on a range of Buddhist related subjects.
## **Volunteers**
The charity is very grateful for the contribution made by its volunteers, who assist in a wide variety of areas including office and administrative work, maintaining and updating the Satipanya website, together with maintenance work, gardening, and cooking at Satipanya Buddhist Retreat.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Review of Performance against Objectives**
In the Trustee Report for the period ended 31 December 2020 the Trustees identified the main objectives for 2022:
**Objective:** _**Progress to date:**_
- To review and formally adopt a health and safety policy _Policy reviewed and to be_ document as recommended by the Charity Commission. _presented at coming AGM for ratification._
- • To finalise our discussions on the question of Trustee _Document prepared and_ Liability cover. _circulated to Trustees for_
_ratification at coming AGM_
- To have a formal blessing ceremony for the Zen Bell and the the commemorative wall.
_Postponed till coming year_
- To continue to develop the banks of the pond, establishing _A number of flowering plants_ this as a place of natural beauty and biodiversity e.g. _water mint, purple_
- • and a sanctuary for wildlife. _loosestrife and forget-me-not now well established._
_A number of flowering plants water mint, purple loosestrife and forget-me-not_
- To consider the possibility of purchasing a premises in Shrewsbury where Bhante Bodhidhamma would live while he is not teaching.
_Under Review as priority is now to find a nearby dwelling for a manager._
_._
- To expand our ‘Visiting Teacher’ program as we move _Hui Hui Ng joined the_ closer towards Bhante Bodhidhamma’s retirement. _Satipanya Teaching program_
As noted last year, it was disappointing to find our plans for a cabin rejected by the council. In the light of this, we have approached our local councillor asking for his support for the initiative. the Trust will now reassess the feasibility of purchasing a small premises in Shrewsbury; in the longer term this could be used as a retirement home for Bhante Bodhidhamma whenever new teaching arrangements support this move. In the shorter term it would allow Bhante to live away from Satipanya when he is not teaching, and free his room for visiting teachers. This could prove beneficial in expanding our visiting teacher program and hopefully attract a new monastic to become the Satipanya Spiritual Director and resident teacher. These proposals will be discussed at the AGM.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Review of financial position**
The Trust is well supported in its tasks by the generosity of its many friends and supporters, with total income from donations (together with Gift Aid claimed) deposits and grants for the year ended 31 December 2022 of £109,906
The generosity of friends and supporters has enabled a significant part of the Trust’s spending to be directed towards the provision, enhancement and maintenance of the facilities at Satipanya Buddhist Retreat. There has a been a growing number of people making regular donations mainly on PayPal.
## **Reserves Policy**
As stated in previous years, a formal reserves policy has been established by the trustees. This is reviewed annually (and more often should significant changes in circumstances arise). In accordance with the reserves policy, contingency funds not committed to tangible fixed assets should be sufficient to cover ongoing expenditure for a period of six months together with an estimate of the legal and professional fees that would be incurred should the need to sell the Trust's property ever arise. The trustees initially calculated that £15,000 needs to be retained as a contingency. At last year’s AGM our accountant advised that this be increased to £30,000, which was agreed by all Trustees. As at 31 December 2021, contingency reserves (i.e. excluding those funds designated or committed to fixed assets) stood at £30,000 Full details of the charity's reserves are provided in note 5 to the financial statements.
## **Investment policy**
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the charity has the power to make any investments which the trustees see fit. The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that investment in short term cash deposits meets their requirements in terms of the objects of the charity.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
The trustees have identified the following objective for the year to 31 December 2023:
- To offer a 24-week spring / summer course in place of our usual 12-week Winter and 12-.week summer retreats. The new course will commence in April and run till September. The purpose of this is to avoid the ongoing covid/flu risks which are exacerbated during winter and also to minimise energy consumption which also peaks during winter.
- To continue to offer a varied retreat programme which provides participants with the opportunity to deepen their meditation practice, to develop calmness and to improve their well-being in a peaceful rural setting.
- To continue our on-line offerings to support practice outside of retreat, facilitate dhamma understanding via various on-line teaching programs, and to continue our particular focus on the spiritual challenge posed by climate change.
- To formally adopt a health and safety policy document as recommended by the Charity Commission.
- To agree our position on the question of Trustee Liability cover.
- To have a formal blessing ceremony for the Zen Bell and the commemorative wall and place the first plaque on the wall commemorating Bhante Bodhidhamma’s first teacher, the Reverend Vajira.
- To continue to develop the banks of the pond, establishing this as a place of natural beauty and biodiversity and a sanctuary for wildlife.
- To further endeavour to get planning permission for a nearby dwelling for a residential manager, and failing this to start looking in the open market for a suitable nearby dwelling.
- To continue to expand our ‘Visiting Teacher’ program as we move closer towards Bhante Bodhidhamma’s retirement.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
Company and Charity law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
- Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the company has appropriate systems of control - financial or otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Charity and which
enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and for taking reasonable steps for the
prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
Audit Exemption
The company qualifies as a small company as defined in S477 Companies Act 2006. The directors
have taken advantage of the total exemption from an audit provisions in S477 {1) of the Act las it
