OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objective of the Mission is to protect and preserve the public health through the practice of the Sahaj Marg system of meditation, now also known as Heartfulness (HFN).

Significant activities

The company's principal activities are:.

Volunteers

The Mission has been dependent on the services of volunteers to carry out its objectives. The volunteers gave their time free of charge and it was not possible to quantify the benefit arising to the company. The directors wish to express their deep gratitude to those who gave of their service in this way.

A Volunteers training programme is updated every year with any new policies and volunteers are required to complete the training every year to ensure that they are up to date.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Funding and Charity Management

All the Heartspots remained closed up until Q1 2022 due to Covid-19 restrictions that were put in place from 2020. Covid-19 restrictions were lifted and gradually all our Heartspot centres opened up in some capacity post Q1 2022. SRCM UK did not go back to the same level of activities in terms of the number of venues that were hired pre-Covid. A similar continuing trend was observed from 2021, which saw a further increase of total income (through donations) year on year. However, pre-Covid income levels have not yet been achieved. The total income for the year ended 31 December 2022 was £73,297, an increase of £4,670, or 6.8%, compared with total income of £68,627 for the year ended 31 December 2021. This movement was mainly driven by an increase of £4,685, or 7.2%, in donations and legacies. Donations and legacies, which includes gift-aid, makes up the largest portion of total income.

Operational expenses of running Heartspots have been met mostly through voluntary donations from Heartfulness practitioners. Donations have been received either by standing orders or online transfers. Similarly, all the administrative costs were met, including the maintenance of the London Meditation Centre.

Meditation Centres and Groups

London Centre: SRCM UK purchased a long-term lease (990 year) in February 2012 on premises in Stratford, London. These premises were converted to form an ashram (spiritual centre) for use by practitioners in the UK and Ireland. The purchase was funded by savings and donations from within the UK and also from other donors in SRCM centres around the world.

Rest of the UK Heartspots: 2022 saw the re-opening of various Heartspots across the UK. These are rented or leased venues utilised by Heartfulness UK meditation groups. A combination of virtual and in-person workshops, meditation sessions and gatherings were held across the UK throughout 2022.

Some of the online sessions included a 10-week "Plan the Change" workshop programme, Monday-Saturday 7am daily meditation sessions with Heartfulness trainer (conducted through WhatsApp), European virtual meetings, and online coffee chats. These virtual sessions were well attended, supporting new seekers as well as established Heartfulness practitioners.

Several Heartfulness UK groups met in person across various Heartspots. These sessions were attended with a lot of gratitude and enthusiasm post pandemic. People had faced challenging times during the pandemic lockdowns, so the in-person sessions benefitted attendees by re-establishing connection and joyful unity.

Expansion

Heartspots continued to offer online meditation and training sessions on a regular, usually weekly, basis and many new people started the practice online. Many volunteers are now trained to present Heartfulness online. All are required to undertake an online training programme developed for volunteers working with the public. As in year 2021, 2022 also saw a trend in training webinars for meditators and meditation trainers focussing on personal wellbeing and continuing development.

Throughout 2022, Heartfulness UK Noticeboard (WhatsApp) was utilised to circulate all official and relevant announcements. Before circulation, these messages were checked for authenticity, accuracy and relevance by trained Communications team. For any messages about events, times and dates for the UK were included. Messages shared from outside the UK were revised to ensure the content and tone of the message were appropriate for a UK audience (language, spelling, cultural nuances etc.)

Similarly, the weekly UK newsletter was circulated throughout 2022. It is sent out by email at 7pm every Friday and copied to local WhatsApp groups to maximise its reach. All newsletters can be viewed in the archive section of the Heartfulness UK website.

Heartfulness Outreach Activities

SRCM UK promotes Heartfulness Meditation to the wider public at health and wellbeing exhibitions, events and in businesses, universities, hospitals (for staff) and community venues and now provides online meditation and wellbeing sessions for business organisations and Universities.

Fundraising activities

Heartfulness UK continued to increase outreach to the public by running activities across the UK on International Day of Yoga as well as the International Day of Peace. Along with these activities, a well-received Heartful Communication course, spread across 14 modules, took place during the months of September and October 2022.

Corporate and community sessions led by Heartfulness trainers were provided to several established organisations including NatWest, Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, Rolls Royce, 2020Spaces, Johnson Matthey, TVS Manchester, South Hook LNG, Oracle, New Statesman, Lenovo, and Davies group. The high quality of the programme content and materials contributed to the significant numbers attending these sessions.

Heartfulness UK social media platforms continued to have increased followers and engagement. Furthermore, Heartfulness UK continued to establish and strengthen connections with other communities and charities.

Future developments

Significant outreach activity planning is underway, with a focus on spreading general awareness about Heartfulness Meditation practices and its benefits. The main objective is to establish Heartfulness as a renowned well-being and holistic lifestyle brand. With this in mind, collaborations with various organisations are being planned.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The Company's activities and developments are dependent upon funding from two main sources, donations and events, with varying contributions year on year. For the year ended 31 December 2022 donations of £65,271 was the major portion of total income £73,297, and income from events was £1,196. Pandemic restrictions had a direct impact on the income from events; for the year ended 31 December 2019; income from events totalled £14,645. Although there were few successful in-person events in 2022, more directed efforts would be needed to increase income from events.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the Mission to maintain unrestricted reserves, i.e. unrestricted funds not committed or invested in fixed assets, at a level which equates to at least four to six months annual income.

Funds in deficit

There were no funds in deficit at the year ended 31 December 2022.

Results for the year

The Statement of Financial Activities on page 7 reflects a surplus of £12,249 (2021 - £13,330). The net assets of the company at the year end were £1,489,724 (2021 - £1,477,475).

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Shri Ram Chandra Mission UK ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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
