Sun Kyeong
Sun Kyeong is a practice that began in South Korea, to help us reconnect to ourselves, to nature and the Universe by helping us tune to the vibration of life, Qi. With the world in ever-expanding social and environmental crises, now more than ever, humanity needs a new method to achieve harmony and balance for better health and wellbeing.
Sun Kyeong comprises Qi Treatments and Qi Classes and over time this practice helps us to achieve improved levels of health, happiness and greater spiritual connection.
Sun Kyeong centres are places of positivity and harmony where specially trained practitioners teach you how to regain your equilibrium and manage your energy better for a healthy, happier life now and for the future.
Sun Kyeong London offers services to people in and around London and the South East and, through its online services, enables those who cannot attend a centre to participate and benefit from what we offer. Sun Kyeong Glasgow extends our reach to Scotland. Sun Kyeong closed its Manchester and Birmingham branches in April and June 2023, respectively. Practitioners continue to make monthly visits to support people in these regions.
Sun Kyeong Qi supports the growth of Sun Kyeong centres worldwide through the provision of professional development workshops, sharing of best practice and brand, marketing and technical resources.
Objectives
Sun Kyeong Qi is a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping people achieve wellness.
The objectives of the charity are:
-
to advance the health and wellbeing of the public by the provision of Sun Kyeong services;
-
to relieve the need of those in sickness or distress by the provision of Sun Kyeong services;
-
to advance the education of the public in Sun Kyeong services.

Why Sun Kyeong is Needed
People are increasingly short of energy and suffering from burnout, fatigue, depression and disconnection. Even those who follow a healthy diet, get sufficient exercise and rest can still feel tired. We have depleted our Qi energy and our batteries are flat. When we are short of Qi, having more rest or improving the quality of our diet will not necessarily give us more energy or resolve our health concerns.
Eastern principles outline how Qi supports our organs, cells and physical functions as well as playing a fundamental role in supporting our mental health. Qi is the connection between our body, mind and spirit.
At Sun Kyeong, we believe that by learning to connect and receive the vibration of Qi, we are able to regain our physical health and emotional wellbeing.

How Sun Kyeong Delivers its Services
At Sun Kyeong, clients can receive a personalised combination of classes and treatments, based on the specific needs of the individual. Most of the services in the centres are offered on a paid basis, with concessionary rates available.

Company Information
Company Status, Governance and Management
Sun Kyeong Qi is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24 July 2008 and established with a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of
company law, who served during the year were:
Sophie Davin Hugh Cochrane Pradnya Ranade Susan Hutchins (appointed 4/6/2024)
Fiona Brown (Resigned 22/5/2024)
Reserves Policy
We have a consistent reserves policy that ensures more than sufficient funds are available to cover expenditure for the foreseeable future. No reserves have been appropriated for a specific purpose at the year end. The reserves policy is agreed on and signed off annually by management and the trustees.
Risks
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and they are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure. With a more stable economic outlook currently, the charity looks forward to being able to grow its customer base in the coming year. As exhibitions have declined as a source of new customers, we continue to put significant effort into developing a trusted online identity on social media channels.

Docusign Envelope ID: 729C8965-DA9C-411E-943E-02C2B83A09EA
Public Benefit
The trustees have complied with their duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission.
The charity has continued to positively support its beneficiaries, helping those struggling with stress and anxiety due to the uncertainty about the future impacting people across the UK.

Achievements and Performance
During the year, Sun Kyeong Qi helped people across the UK enhance their quality of life. In our Glasgow and London centres, we provide an oasis of calm for our clients, looking to recharge and restore physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. The charity has continued to advance the education of the public in complementary therapy through our range of in-house, online and outreach events around the UK and worldwide. We have continued to offer events, classes, talks and meditation courses both in our centres and online. Through our upgraded broadcast system people have enjoyed a more interactive experience and no matter where they live they can benefit from everything Sun Kyeong has to offer. This continues to enable us to reach a greater number of people.
The London and Glasgow centres have enjoyed hosting a number of different evening events, weekend workshops as well as our usual day-to-day services of classes and treatments. Our practitioners have also continued to support the people of Manchester and Birmingham, where we had to close our centres, with regular monthly visits offering treatments, Qi classes and meditation sessions.
Exhibitions and Events
This year we have attended fewer exhibitions than in previous years due to a decline in the number of exhibitions available. At the exhibitions that we have attended the practitioners enjoyed being able to introduce our method and offer treatments to members of the public. This in turn has increased the footfall in the centres with people buying courses of treatments at the various shows. Both London and Glasgow centres have benefitted from being able to attend these events, sharing what we do with the public, enabling them to see and experience first-hand the benefits of an energy treatment. Over the years many people have been introduced to our method in this way and have continued with regular classes and treatments.
Events attended throughout the UK this year:
-
Mind Body Spirit (London Wellbeing Festival)
-
Om Yoga show
-
Happy Place London
-
Happy Place Tatton Park
-
Stylist Live, London

Doing this for manyyears left me physicallyand mentallyexhausted. I came across Sun Kyeong at an exhibition in London. I had an initial treatment at the exhibition where I was informed I wasvery low in energy. I therefore decided to embark on a course of ten treatments accompanied by attending Qi classes. Over the years I have had the privilege of having treatments with different practitioners. Having one-to-one discussions about how"Qi" works and the realisation ofthe importance ofQi in the body Attending the classes, having a combination of meditation and exercises has had a profound effect on mywellbeing. The classes leave me with a sense of peace and calmness and significantly increased levels of energy. Theteam atthe London Centre are fabulous, kind, supportive and understanding, and continuing with classes and treatments has significantly improved my health and happiness." Nigel, London 10

Events During the Year
The London and Glasgow centres have run monthly meditation evenings which were very successful. They have taught people simple yet powerful meditations which can be part of a daily practice, helping people to manage stress and anxiety, begin and end their day with greater peace and feel generally more positive, happy and focused. Those who have attended have also experienced the benefit of a Qi treatment and have then returned for regular sessions.
We are always looking for new opportunities to partner with businesses and community organisations to promote our wellbeing services on an ongoing basis. The London centre launched a new scheme for local business called FREE FRIDAY. In exchange for promoting us with information leaflets and flyers in their cafe, restaurant, salon, hotel etc we would give free energy treatments to their employees every Friday. Each business could offer 2 members of staff per month a free energy treatment. This was an excellent way to get to know the local businesses in our area, discuss how we could promote and support each other and give something back to the local community. The energy treatments were really well received and it meant that employers were also able to help look after their employees wellbeing by nominating them to receive a free energy treatment.
Guided Qi Meditation to Restore Inner Peace was a Qi workshop regularly run in the Glasgow centre focusing on improving physical and emotional wellbeing. This event was very popular and an excellent way to introduce new people to the Glasgow centre. It was from workshops such as this that they would become regular members benefitting from weekly Qi classes and treatments.
London once again hosted Master Oh’s Energy and Connection retreat for two days at the Hallam Conference Centre in June. This was an enormous boost for the London centre in which Master Oh dedicated his time for free, sharing his wisdom and really explaining the practice to an audience of nearly one hundred people. He also shared simple yet powerful meditation tools to help people transform their lives in a positive way. This powerful weekend enabled people to connect to their true selves, recharge and learn tools to help overcome stress, fatigue, depression and anxiety. The weekend is a powerful way to help people transform, change and find a real sense of happiness. These events provided an intensive introduction to our techniques and philosophy. Many of those who attended the weekend became regular clients at the London centre joining classes and having treatments.

Sun Kyeong Qi has been running successful workshops and events throughout the year, introducing the Sun Kyeong method, its philosophy, treatments and classes to a wide range of people. It has also been focusing on a campaign to create greater awareness about Sun Kyeong and the different ways we can help people both in person and online. This is an ongoing project and the charity is putting an experienced team together to look at this in more depth and from a marketing perspective.

Docusign Envelope ID: 729C8965-DA9C-411E-943E-02C2B83A09EA
Here are some of the events and activities Sun Kyeong Qi has been working on throughout the year:
-
The London and Glasgow centres have continued to offer online Qi Classes to all those unable to come in person. This enables people throughout the UK and overseas to join classes from home six days a week. We have also upgraded the broadcast system so the experience for anyone joining online has greatly improved.
-
Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns have continued to be an important source of new clients. From this, each centre has been able to grow its community of members. We have hired a social media consultant who has been able to support our awareness campaign on social media, fine tune our design and branding and really upgrade our social media presence.
-
Throughout the year the Glasgow and London centres have been running a series of in house events, These events have introduced our method to people and enabled them to get a taste and understanding of how our services could benefit them on a more regular and long term basis. We have run monthly Meditation Evenings , Evenings to recharge body mind and spirit with the power of Qi and a talk series which we advertised to our members, database and the general public. The talks were really well attended and we offered head and shoulder treatments after each talk. It was a perfect opportunity for people to understand more about the Sun Kyeong practice, self reflection, working on their mind and how to grow. Many participants of these events have gone on to attend regular classes and receive treatments in either London or Glasgow.
-
Since the closure of our Manchester and Birmingham centres we have been able to support our previous and new clients both online and in person with regular practitioner visits to both cities. These visits include treatments and classes and some clients have come to London for a few days or a weekend visit to the London centre. We always attend The Happy Place Festival at Tatton Park which is extremely busy with practitioners treating nonstop over the weekend. Very often the people who attend the Tatton Park festival live closer to Manchester and Birmingham rather than London so they have been able to continue treatments with the monthly practitioner visits to these cities as well as being supported by the Glasgow centre.
-
Master Oh, the leading expert in this practice, kindly gave his time for free on 8th May for An evening with Master Oh. Master Oh travels around the world doing events in many different cities so this was a huge boost for the London centre to host him and be able to invite so many people who would then become regular clients at the London Centre for classes and treatments.
-
We were hosted by one of our regular online members in Yorkshire for a weekend where we were invited to give a talk and treatments to her local community. A wonderful opportunity to introduce our method to people who would not normally be able to experience Qi energy treatments or a class in person. Those who joined were able to continue with online classes and treatments and even visited the London centre a few months later.

The energy classes and treatments were a lifesaver for me. They helped clear my depression and revitalised my energy levels. After regularly continuing the classes for a number of years, the benefits to my wellbeing are undeniable. I therefore decided to start volunteering at Sun Kyeong last year so I could help others to also benefit. I predominantly support reception, typically 2-3 days a week,. welcoming clients, booking appointments, managing the diaryand taking payments. I love volunteering at the centre because every time I'm there I see the difference the treatments and classes make to the lives of the clients. Many have chronic issues and pains but often, even within a few weeks, experience a discernible difference in their symptoms. It's also very inspiring for me to see how professional, dedicated and hardworking the staff are. Asa volunteer, they have made me feel part ofthe team and are always role modelling phenomenal care for our clients. Something I hope to emulate." Deepika, London 14

Supporting charities and community groups
We have continued to make fruit and food donations to the Glasgow City Mission and the Euston Food Bank. Euston Food Bank provides three days of nutritionally-balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to them in crisis. They are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK . The London centre supplies them with food twice a week, which is an invaluable support to this food bank.
Glasgow City Mission is the world’s first City Mission - a Christian organisation with projects around the world and has been caring for the city’s marginalised people since 1826. They offer help to vulnerable adults and children within the city, fighting against poverty and disadvantage in Glasgow. Their base is a day centre offering hot meals, support, advice, rehab services. In 2023 Glasgow City Mission provided numerous hot nutritious meals for people- nearly 40,000 hot meals.
The regular fruit donations made by the Glasgow Centre have been very much appreciated by everyone at the Glasgow City Mission.

Sun Kyeong Qi’s Vision and Plans
We are passionate in our desire for people all over the world to benefit from the Sun Kyeong method. Our vision is to make the Sun Kyeong method available to as many people as possible throughout the UK and globally. To this end, the UK charity takes a leading role in facilitating knowledge sharing with Sun Kyeong organisations in other countries.
We continue to look for partnerships with other charities and organisations in order to introduce our powerful meditations and treatments to help people combat stress, anxiety, pain and any other physical and emotional challenges that they face.
Sun Kyeong Qi’s Global Responsibility
The charity continued its efforts to be an example and leader in the delivery of the Sun Kyeong method worldwide. Online meetings and regular catch-ups also allow us to strengthen the relationship with all the Sun Kyeong organisations around the world, to promote the highest standards of client care and service delivery.
The London Centre is a recognised centre of excellence for practitioners worldwide and the management constantly seeks to enhance professional development, share ideas and best practice. To this end, an advanced Practitioner Training week was held in June with practitioners from Europe and USA in attendance.
Special Thanks
We are grateful to our patrons, donors and volunteers who have enabled Sun Kyeong to support people across the UK and beyond. The charity relies on the vital support of numerous volunteers who assist with the daily running of individual centres and community projects.
We are grateful to all those who have made donations, shared their professional skills or volunteered in Sun Kyeong centres and on community projects. We depend on the support of volunteers, patrons and donors in order to be able to deliver our projects to help more people.

Financial Review
The draft financial results of the charity for 2023 – 2024 show a loss of around £109,556 pre-depreciation, and a post-depreciation loss of around £127,497. Offsetting this, a windfall tax rebate was received in May that had enabled the charity to post a large profit in the previous financial year. Some of these additional funds are being invested in improved outreach and communication to grow, develop and retain our client base.
Going concern
While a difficult economic period nationwide has affected the charity in recent years, we are optimistic for the future. Sun Kyeong Qi offers a unique set of services that specifically address modern stress-related illnesses. As a result, we see many new and repeat clients, highlighting the ongoing demand for our services. Many clients experience longlasting benefits and go on to become patrons of the charity, offering donations to enable more people to benefit from our services.

2. Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future which the trustees believe to be appropriate.
The charity is part of a group which has a mixture of income streams with a combination of contractual and general sales.
For these reasons the trustees believe there are sufficient funds available within the Charity to operate as a going concern.
Company Status
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 7. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The company is limited by guarantee of members and does not have a share capital. The liability of members is limited to £1 or any smaller amount required if:
(a) the charity is wound-up while he or she is a member or within a year afterwards; and
(b) the charity has debts and liabilities which it cannot meet out of its assets.

3. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
