Part 2 Structure, Governance and Management

• a) Tariki Trust is a charitable trust no. 1149658 and is governed by a Deed of Trust which was signed in December 2011.

New Trustees

New trustees are appointed in accordance with the terms set out in the Tariki Trust Deed by invitation of the existing trustee group in consultation with the trust’s officer(s). Trustees undergo an induction process and are supported by the existing trustees and officers in learning about the trust’s activities and policies. 2018 saw no changes to the trustee body. Throughout the year 2020 Paul Burt remained chairperson of the trust. No new trustees were appointed during the year.

Trustee Training

Specific training is offered to the trustee group as appropriate to bring better understanding of issues affecting the trust. New trustees are given an induction pack and are made aware of the structures and activities of the trust.

Decision Making

Policies and major decisions are made at trustee meetings which occur every few months and not less than two per year. Other decisions are made by the officers of the trust, acting on the trust’s behalf, or by others to whom specific decision-making power is delegated. Any decision involving expenditure of more than £500 on a single item will be made in consultation with the trustees, and all significant decisions will normally be discussed with one or more trustees. Officers currently submit a written report to each trustee meeting.

Identified Risks

The trustees of Tariki Trust identified the following risks:

• loss of income from reduced number of students.

• the trust being sued in the case of accident or professional misconduct.

• Injury or incapacity of Caroline Brazier as Course Leader of the Tariki Training Programmes and Officer of Tariki Trust which renders her out of action for a long period of time.

• difficulties arising from the introduction of a team of new staff who will manage and run to the ecotherapy training programme in collaboration with Caroline

Risk Reduction Strategies

After Caroline’s retirement in June 2021, Tariki Trust will no longer hold ongoing responsibility for the upkeep of premises. The psychotherapy training programme is nearing its formal ending so liability to those students who are still completing is vastly reduced. Students on the trust’s ecotherapy training programmes generally complete training within a year as opposed to three years on the psychotherapy programme. Both of these factors mean that the level of risk involved in Tariki Trust’s future operations will be much lower than previously.

For the above risks, Tariki Trust has set in place:

• Loss of students : The trustees agreed to retain a financial buffer of at least £20,000 or six month’s expenditure whilst the psychotherapy programme was in full operation. This sum was still available at the end of 2020 and Tariki Trust holds a very healthy balance of funds as it moves into its transitional phase. Whilst responsibility for the psychotherapy training programme will now continue until at least the summer of 2023 to allow students to complete placements and course work, the financial obligations involved in this are low and will easily be covered from the remaining funds in hand. The buffer may therefore be gradually used for other purposes over the forthcoming period. Tariki Trust continues to hold responsibility for the Ten Directions ecotherapy training, however the costs associated with this are much lower, so agreement of a lower financial buffer will be appropriate in future. The trust has no on-going commitment to expenditure. The only on-going commitment is to honour the offer of training to students. The financial buffer is always sufficient to cover refund of course fees in the unlikely event of a sudden termination of the training.

• Tariki Trust being sued: the trust has in place safeguarding policies and has professional and public liability insurance policies. It also has trustee liability cover.

• The Course Leader being unable to fulfil her duties: Tariki Trust carries a financial buffer which would allow teaching staff to be paid to cover extra classes. With the transfer of responsibility to a growing team of staff, there will no longer be as much dependence on Caroline for the delivery of courses and other events.

• Reliance of a new staff team: As the new staff team start to take more responsibility for the day to day running of the ecotherapy training programme, Caroline will remain in a management role, supporting the staff in delivery of the courses. In particular she is working closely with Stephen McCabe who will be taking over many of her functions following her retirement in June 2021. She will carry on in this supportive role at least until the new team is working smoothly. Caroline will also oversee the support of students who are completing the psychotherapy programme in the period up to June 2023.

Part 3 Objectives and Activities

• a) Objectives of charity from governing document

The trustees shall hold the trust fund and its income upon trust to apply them for the advancement of the Buddhist religion (Dharma).

In furtherance of the objects, but not otherwise, the trustees may exercise any of the following powers:

• To further the integration of Buddhist and Western understanding and wisdom by wide ranging study, research and education.

• To further the development of Buddhist culture, Buddhist psychology, and Buddhist psychotherapy, appropriate to the contemporary world.

• To support Dharma practitioners and Dharma students.

• To sponsor the training of individuals in the spiritual, psychological and practical skills necessary to actualise the principles of compassion, wisdom and skilful means in the context of contemporary society.

• To actualise Dharma practice by providing resources to those engaged in the relief of physical, ecological or psychological suffering, including the establishment of social, psychological, pastoral and spiritual services.

The Buddhist House

In the light of the above, at the beginning of 2020 Tariki Trust operated primarily out of its premises at The Buddhist House, 12 Coventry Road, Narborough LE19 2GR. After March 2020 most of these in-house activities ceased due to the Covid 19 pandemic and activities largely moved online. The impact of Covid 19 and our response to it is outlined below. Prior to March, activities happening within and from the house were:

• Regular Buddhist practice both in in-house meetings and in public retreats and classes

• The Tariki Psychotherapy Training Programme in Other-Centred Approach

• The Ten Directions environmental therapy training programme based on Buddhist principles

• A Psychotherapy and Counselling Service

• Meditation classes for the public

• Chaplaincy in local hospitals

• Providing educational resources to schools, university students and others

• A venue for classes in yoga which complement a Buddhist approach

• Developing activities related to environmental concern, such as green living and mindfulness

• Gardening as a way to provide activity and enjoyment for house users

Covid 19 impact and responses

With the advent of restrictions associated with Covid 19 in March 2020, all participatory activities held in the house ceased, including the yoga group which met one evening a week in the house. These activities did not restart during the remainder of the year, and in fact, it looks unlikely that the house will reopen as a course centre before Caroline’s retirement in June 2021. Residential facilities are particularly unsuitable for distancing measures and it was decided to move all activities online. Caroline and Debbie continued to live in the house and work from it.

Psychotherapy Course Programmes

Tariki continued to offer psychotherapy and ecotherapy training throughout 2020. The psychotherapy programme staff group has four members of teaching staff: Caroline, Elise, Jeff and Liz. In addition, Debbie offers administrative and other support work for the courses.

• The psychotherapy programme generally operates with three attendance-based intensive blocks of nine teaching days per year, run in February, May and October. From May 2020 it was no longer possible to hold these in person, so the teaching blocks were offered online. In moving online, we took into account guidance from BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and spread the teaching over a longer period to allow breaks in screen time. This meant that in addition to a reduced number of days offered at the time when the block was originally scheduled, we offered weekly afternoon seminars throughout the term. Although many students found that meeting online lacked the immediacy of in-person teaching, the ongoing contact through these weekly seminars in many cases improved students’ experience of the course programme.

• Many students were affected by problems finding placements under Covid 19 restrictions. For those who had placements, there was a need to adapt to working online by Zoom or phone. Extra training was offered to support this, and we also made use of provision from BACP and other training organisations. Students who had not yet started a placement found it very difficult to obtain one. For these students we decided to set up our own in-house online counselling service to offer them referrals, working on Zoom or phone and this was established to start in January 2021. With these difficulties in mind, the deadline for final submission of work was extended to June 2023. The deadline for attendance, however, remained June 2021.

• In June 2020 Liz’s husband, Perry, who had also had a long term involvement with Tariki Trust, died suddenly. As a result, she took some time out of teaching. During that time her commitments were covered by others in the staff team.

• Planning ahead towards staff retirements in July 2021, it was intended that the delivery of the psychotherapy training programme would be undertaken by a new organisational group, Shoshin. Shoshin was set up by Jeff Harrison, a current member of staff, and Bo Gort and Fairlie Winship who are both senior psychotherapy students, and established itself as a CIC. In the summer of 2020, however, with the uncertainties introduced by the Covid 19 pandemic, this group decided not to go ahead. In view of this, the decision was made to close the psychotherapy programme once the current cohort of students have completed their training. There will therefore be no further teaching on this programme from June 2021, but, in view of the delays to placements, a further two years will be allowed from that date for completion of these and other work. During this period, remaining students will be supported by Caroline and members of the staff team.

At the beginning of 2020 there were 19 registered students. This number remained high throughout the year, with one student completing the counselling diploma in February 2020 and three new students joining the programme in October 2020. In December 2020 numbers of students registered were as follows: 2 Foundation Certificate; 9 Diploma in Counselling; 7 Diploma in Psychotherapy; 2 Post Qualifying Certificate; 1 General Registration; Total 21 students. Some of these students are scheduled to finish in February 2021, but the majority will continue through to June 2021 and beyond, meaning that we will have a satisfactory group for the ending of the training programme.

Ten Directions Ecotherapy Training Programme

The ecotherapy programme continued to be run by Caroline, Elise Tate and Paul Maiteny through the spring of 2020, with the last attendance weekend in March 2020, immediately prior to the first lockdown. This meant that students from the 2019/20 cohort were able to attend all but one of the core unit weekends.

The Ten Directions programme in its original form consisted of five core units plus an intensive, each core unit involving a month of online activity with exercises delivered by daily email and responded to on a group forum plus an attendance weekend. With Covid 19 restrictions, we were able to carry on offering the

online parts of the core units, but were no longer able to offer the attendance-based parts of the programme.

At this point it was decided that, since the course had previously required 15 days of attendance spread over the year, we would offer the equivalent (90 hours) in the form of a range of optional online units, seminars and workshops offered over Zoom. Each of the core units was accompanied by a one day workshop on Zoom conducted by core staff, and the other seminars and workshops were conducted by a wider range of people, some of whom had trained on the course in previous years and some of whom had specific areas of expertise. This allowed for a more diverse range of activities and allowed students some choice in subject areas. We even offered an ‘online’ solo in August, where students did solitary retreats in the wild supported by a series of online groups and planning sessions. These online courses proved extremely popular and numbers attending more than doubled our previous best attendance figures. In the autumn of 2020, we had 24 registered students and were also getting regular attendance at seminars and workshops from other people who had an interest in the topics but who didn’t want to sign up for the full programme, meaning that most individual seminars attracted 15-30 people.

We saw this success as resulting from a number of factors:

• People looking for new online activities in lockdown

• Many counsellors and psychotherapists looking to work outdoors because it is more Covid secure

• Increasing interest in ecotherapy as environmental awareness improves

• It became possible for students who couldn’t come to Narborough to complete the full programme. We have had attendance from students in Australia, Japan, North America and various European countries since we moved to the new online teaching.

• Our decision to offer ecotherapy training at a reasonable cost so that it was affordable to people in lower paid circumstances.

• High quality seminars with presenters from a range of backgrounds and perspectives.

The Future of Ten Directions

Following the success of the new format for Ten Directions, during the autumn of 2021 the core staff group was extended to include some of those who were currently presenting courses on this programme. This enlarged group started to meet regularly to discuss how the programme might continue to be delivered after the summer of 2021. In discussion with the Tariki Trustees, it was decided that:

• The course should continue to be offered in the new format. When attendance-based events became possible, these will be integrated into the current structure. Some fine tuning may be needed, perhaps setting some compulsory units, but by and large the intention is to keep an open structure so that it can meet the needs of students from a variety of backgrounds.

• Stephen McCabe will take on a major role in teaching the online core units and picking up many of the roles of coordinating the programme, formerly done by Caroline. He will be assisted by Elise Tate and Fairlie Winship in aspects of this work. Other key teaching staff will be Paul Maiteny, Harriet Sams and Sam Lewis. Caroline will continue to be a member of the staff team and a support to Stephen in making the transition to the new way of working.

• Stephen will set up new websites for promoting the course and as a platform for teaching and will streamline bookings by using automatic booking and payment systems.

Early Buddhist Texts

Throughout the period of lockdown, we have had a series of monthly seminars presented by Don de Silva, a Buddhist and environmentalist with many years of experience. His seminars have addressed social and environmental themes, drawing on references from the Pali Canon, the earliest Buddhist literature, and other Buddhist sources.

Introduction to Buddhist Psychology and Other-Centred Approach

In May 2020 Caroline offered a ten week introductory course on Buddhist psychology and Other-Centred Approach. This consisted of ten two hour seminars, supported by supplementary handouts and references. The programme proved popular and attracted 23 participants. It was repeated in the autumn of 2020 with 18 participants.

On-Line Presence

Tariki Trust has increased its use of online facilities substantially during 2020. We continue to have a strong on-line presence with two main web sites, on-line courses and two Ning social networking sites (one public and one for registered students) and we have also started to create new websites for the ecotherapy programme. The psychotherapy training course programmes include modules delivered by distance learning through a dedicated Ning site and Ten Directions core units are also taught online. We make use of facebook and twitter for advertising activities and raising issues and host several groups on facebook and post news of events. In addition to these platforms, Tariki opened a Zoom account to host courses, meetings and events. This is in constant use.

Meditation Classes were offered in the house until March 2020 and thereafter the weekly meditation class was offered on Zoom. This included half an hour of guided meditation followed by half an hour of conversation. Numbers attending this class fluctuated over the year and were not as high as they had been for the classes held at The Buddhist House. They did, however, provide an important source of support for a number of regular participants.

Retreats

We held a number of online retreats through the year. There were a Naikan retreat in June 2020, a retreat day in July and a winter retreat in December.

Chaplaincy & Other Religious Activities

Caroline continued to offer chaplaincy support in the Leicester University Hospitals Trust in January and February 2020 and continued to work with other chaplains to deliver sessions on mindfulness for hospital staff. These stopped with lockdown and as a volunteer chaplain, Caroline was no longer able to visit the hospital, although she kept in touch with the chaplaincy by email. In autumn 2020, Caroline was asked to conduct two funerals, both based on referrals from the chaplaincy.

Other Involvement with Jodo Shinshu

In July 2020 Caroline, working with Rev Enrique Galvan-Alvarez, offered an Introduction to Jodo Shinshu. This was well attended and was followed by a series of three monthly sessions on different aspects of Pure Land Buddhism held through the autumn of 2020. Caroline also attended Hoonko teachings online, transmitted from Eko Haus in Dusseldorf. In addition to these Caroline attended weekly online gatherings of Jodo Shinshu ministers and practitioners from the UK and elsewhere.

Gardens and Horticultural Therapy

Debbie continued to volunteer at A Place to Grow until lockdown. This local gardening project offers support to people with mental health problems, learning difficulties and other disabilities up. After this time, she and Caroline did a considerable amount of work in the gardens at The Buddhist House. In the autumn of 2020 they rescued six young hedgehogs and took them to Leicester Animal Hospital for over-wintering.

Psychotherapy

With her retirement approaching in 2021, Caroline has been gradually reducing her client work. She has a small number of ongoing clients, working on Zoom and the phone.

Attendance at Conferences, training and Events

• Buddhafield talk by Caroline on Zoom July 2020

• Network of Buddhist Organisations environmental group: talk by Caroline on Zoom November 2020

Overseas Work

In February 2020 Caroline gave a weekend course on Introduction to Buddhist Psychology for SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw. This involved travel by train across Europe, which she chose to do in order to avoid the environmental impact of flying. Events in Netherlands, scheduled for April 2020, were cancelled due to the Covid 19 lockdown.

GDPR compliance and other policies

I n 2018 with the introduction of GDPR legislation, Tariki Trust reviewed its data handling and adopted new policies as a result. At the same time, the officers and trustees worked together on a major review of all policy documents of the trust. These policies have continued to be reviewed in line with the requirements established by the trustee group.

Use of volunteers

Tariki Trust has no salaried staff. Teaching staff and other presenters receive honoraria or sessional fees in appreciation of this work. These are generally lower than ‘market rate’ and sometimes substantially so. Much of our work is therefore done on a voluntary or semi-voluntary basis.

Building Work

The Buddhist House is a large Victorian building and typically requires ongoing repairs. During 2020 we had some roof repairs and the replacement of a skylight window which was leaking. Other repairs were delayed due to the difficulty of having workmen in the house during 2020.

Part 4 Achievements and Performance

2020 was a difficult year for many people. It brought challenges to Tariki Trust at a time when it had been planned for things to move smoothly towards the transition that will happen around Caroline’s retirement in June 2021. It is remarkable, therefore that Tariki Trust ended the year with more activities on offer and more students than it had at the outset and with its funds substantially increased at a time when it was expected that they would be gradually reducing.

In the spring of 2020, faced with the prospect of an ongoing lockdown and an uncertain financial future, we took the decision to move the training events which we usually run in-person online. This decision led to the development of a whole new range of courses, involving a wider staff group and drawing in many new students so that we ended the year with more registered students than at any time in our history, having re-shaped plans for the future and created a very different teaching environment.

Tariki Trust thus continues its work as a provider of training and services, particularly in the fields of Buddhist psychotherapy and ecotherapy. This teaching is, however, no longer based at The Buddhist House, being now run entirely online and at a distance, delivered by a staff group who are dispersed all over the UK. Whilst the psychotherapy course programme has remained a central part of our work, the Ten Directions programme in ecotherapy has grown substantially and now represents a larger part of our ongoing activity. This change has brought with it a larger staff team who continue to share teaching and engage in a collaborative approach to decision making.

Tariki Trust has continued to offer and support Buddhist practice in a number of ways through online meditation groups and retreat days. As a Buddhist priest, Caroline continues to lead Buddhist activities and has conducted a couple of funerals. The Tariki training programmes continue to offer a distinctly Buddhist model of therapy both to its students and to others working in therapeutic fields, continuing to contribute to the field of knowledge of Buddhist psychology, psychotherapy and environmentally based working.

As we look ahead towards Caroline’s retirement date in June 2021 we have planned for the winding up of the psychotherapy training programme in such a way that current students are able to finish their studies with us in as satisfactory a way as possible under the current circumstances. At the same time, we have

established a firm basis for the continuation of the Ten Directions training in ecotherapy and have recruited a team of people who will take main responsibility for its management and delivery on a day-to-day basis. The shape of other Tariki activities in the future is still uncertain, but it seems likely that some activities, particularly in the fields of Buddhism and Buddhist psychology will continue beyond the summer of 2021 under the Tariki umbrella.

Part 5 Financial Review

2020 was a year in which the finances of many organisations suffered as a result of the restrictions related to Covid 19 but Tariki Trust maintained a healthy income stream throughout, adapting to the changed circumstances and overall receiving more than it did in the previous year despite having allowed for a reduced income in its forward planning.

The total income of Tariki Trust for 2020 was a little over £56,000 which was about £3,000 more than the previous year. The source of these funds, however, show a very different profile. As is generally the case, the main source of funds continued to be the income from student fees which was over £48,000, substantially more than the £35,000 in 2019, and of this, the bulk of the income came from the ecotherapy programme rather than the psychotherapy. Other main sources of income came from Buddhist House events (reflecting online events attended by people who were not students) £2,600, which was substantially more than the sum for 2019 (£785), counselling and supervision and resident visitors. These latter two categories of income were both substantially reduced from 2019. Counselling and supervision at £2,500 was down from £6200, reflecting the reduction in Caroline’s work in this area, and resident visitors income was £2500 as opposed to £8,400 in 2019, only reflecting stays by visitors during the period up until mid-March 2020. Income from donations, room hire and book sales all dropped substantially, reflecting the fact that for most of the year no visitors were using the house. This remarkable state of affairs shows how income from courses, and particularly ecotherapy events, increased substantially during 2020, more than compensating for the lack of other income.

At the same time, because the house was not being used and we were not travelling or attending events, expenditure decreased in 2020 to £39,500 (as opposed to £43,500 in 2019).

After staff costs, the biggest item of on-going expenditure in 2020 was once more utility bills. These were somewhat increased to £5,500 (£4,900 in 2019). A lot of this resulted from a switch to a green energy company for ethical reasons, which proved to be much more expensive than our previous provider. Once this became apparent, we switched back to the previous provider. Food and consumables were substantially less at under £1,000 for the year, as opposed to just over £3,000 in 2019. This was because there was almost no expenditure on catering after March. Travel costs were also substantially down in 2020 totalling £1200 altogether. This included travel to Poland for teaching in February 2020. Expenditure on the house and garden came to nearly £3000 because it included repairs to the roof on two occasions and the replacement of a skylight window with a Velux window.

Allowances paid to Debbie and Caroline in 2020 accounted for £14,000 of expenditure. The honorarium paid to Caroline as officer of the trust is £10,000 and an honorarium payment to Debbie in recognition of her work in supporting house events and programmes remains £4000. During this year, Caroline did a large proportion of the extra teaching, which is covered by her honorarium, but there were also increased trainers’ fees as staff were paid for online teaching in courses, seminars and workshops. Staff teaching on the psychotherapy programme are renumerated sessionally at a standard rate. Those teaching on the ecotherapy programme were also offered sessional rates which were linked to the number of participants at the event. The total cost of these staff payments was £9,600 in 2020 as opposed to £8,400 in 2019. Other expenses included £673 on a new laptop and the programmes for it for Caroline. Other categories of expenditure including stationary, phone, internet and insurance remained fairly constant. Training costs were reduced to just over £1,000 which was payment for supervision received as opposed to just over £2,000 the previous year. A payment of £170 under sacristy was a donation to support Chomon House, the

Jodo Shinshu centre in Southampton in recognition of journals and other services received.

The year ended with £86,800 funds carried forward. This is £14,500 more than last year. This gives us a substantial cushion to cover any additional costs arising from the winding down of The Buddhist House and the ongoing commitment to provide support to psychotherapy students as they finish their training. It also demonstrates the viability of the ecotherapy programme. Whilst we cannot be sure whether it will continue to flourish in the same way as lockdown comes to an end, Tariki Trust is left in a very sound financial position to support its ongoing development in the future.

Part 6 Plans for the Coming Year and Beyond

2020 has been a year in which many things in the world changed and Tariki Trust has shown itself to be capable of changing and adapting to the new situation. This theme of change will continue in 2021 with the planned retirement of several of the staff, including Caroline and Debbie, and with the sale of The Buddhist House. These changes will be reflected in the following plans

• To work towards a smooth transition within the ecotherapy programme staff group with Stephen McCabe taking over co-ordination and running of the core units from Caroline and doing so in association with a number of other staff members

• To work with the staff group to develop the Ten Directions programme and related short courses within a learning community model

• To improve and develop systems of communication between the new ecotherapy staff team and the trustees

• To review and establish firm financial and managerial systems within the new staff group so that the organisation continues on a solid basis

• To support the sale of the Buddhist House and the transfer of its functions elsewhere

• To review practical arrangements for the move from an organisation based at The Buddhist House to one that is more web-based, such as the change of the charity’s address, storage of archives and equipment, banking and other financial organisation.

• To continue to offer courses as part of the ecotherapy programme through online seminars and workshops which will appeal not only to enrolled students but also to other interested parties.

• To consider offering attendance-based ecotherapy events in other venues

• To continue supporting psychotherapy students as they complete their placements and submit final work assignments.

• To develop occasional events related to Buddhist psychology, psychotherapy and Buddhist practice.

• To foster our links with Jodo Shinshu and other Buddhist traditions.

• To expand the trustee group in ways that reflect the developing nature of the charity
