## **Annual Retreat updates** 

Annual Retreat was originally aimed at those who are busy and cannot find their time to join the monthly retreat and plan well in advanced to prepare for the Annual Retreat. This year has been the fifth year since we started. The temple is pleased to know that many people have been practicing at their own

time and have continued to make a very good progress on their meditation practice. During the covid outbreak and lock-down, we are continuing to run an online-based retreat and pray session to comply with the government’s guidance to keep our community safe. 

The temple has maintained the high volume of telephone and video consultations for those who needed counselling and any support during covid. 

## **Thai language school updates** 

We have seen progressions of our students on their Thai Communicating skills. However, we would have not be able to make such a progress without the support form Leeds City Council’s Children’s Services, which allows our volunteer and teachers to have access to numerous training for free of charge, such as Child Fate Guarding and Health and Safety. 

Since our Sunday school, “Centre for Thai and English Language and Culture at Wat Buddharam Leeds”, had officially been announced as Leeds City Council’s official supplementary of school in 2017, we have gained more popularity in our class. Following from the last year the temple is still struggled in finding more of the qualified volunteers to support the class. Since the lockdown in March 2020 caused by Covid-19, the been postponed until further noticed to encourage safety for the Monks, Nuns, the teachers, and students. We are hoping to bring the class back once situation is back to normal and that we have enough teachers to run the class again. 

## **AGM updates** 

Annual General Meeting (AGM) has been held in the afternoon of Songkran Ceremony Day. Members were asked in advanced to register their interest to attend to meeting to ensure all safety measures and preparations has been arranged in advanced. Members have also been asked to participate and put forward their enquiries through our trustee in advanced before the meeting. 

Majority of this year’s agenda were part of an on-going improvement project that has been carried out since 2020. In 2020 AGM, both the committee and community have voted to put building and premise maintenance a priority project to avoid further damage internally as the building was reported to have signs of damp and leak through the roof and windows which lead to the need of a repair work. After the charity have successfully secured a mortgage, roof maintenance work has been carried out and successfully completed in December 2021. The new project undertaking in this period includes external and internal windows repair; internal painting and decorating work; light fittings replacement; replacing new stones steps from the main entrance for safety; carpet replacement in the area that was needed; boiler replacement; expansion of storage space. 

Every year the charity aims to continue to improve the landscape and surrounding of its ground to support the growing community and diversity of Leeds and Yorkshire region. 

## **Use of Volunteers** 

The Temple is fortunate to have a great number of volunteers who help with Temple works and event management. Also visiting Monks have been very beneficial in assisting the abbot in both Religious and Charity work, including the maintenance and building projects. An example of this is repairment of cobbled floor around the building, landscaping, and gardening. An increased in number of volunteers has made such a massive improvement on growth of the charity. This is enabled us to make a wider impact on the community on any project that we have. 

One of the main volunteer groups of the temple are students from the University of Leeds’ Thai Society. However, in order to work in the Sunday school (Wat Buddharam Leeds’ Centre of Thai Language and Culture school), e.g. as a teacher or assistance teacher; member have to meet the school’s policy and

## **Trustees' Report** 

requirements. We are currently shorts of skilled-volunteer teachers and struggled to find a suitable volunteer in this role. 

The temple has been granted with Tier 5 Sponsor License since June2017. This has been an extremely helpful scheme. It is unable the charity to be able to sponsor skilled staff such as Meditation Teachers, Monks, and Counsellor to come and work with charity and to support the Abbot. It would be even more beneficial if we could have increased in a number of licenses; this will allow the charity to have enough license to sponsor skilled-teacher to support the Sunday school. 

## **Communication and the use of social media** 

The Trustees of Wat Buddharam Leeds recognise the importance of communication to our community and to a wider audience. We have engaged widely with social media by publishing a website and Facebook presence. 

Facebook particularly is proving to be an invaluable tool for promoting our events and reporting on daily activities of the temple. The temple was able to communicate widely to the Thai and Buddhist community in Yorkshire and Britain. The temple has also used Facebook to create a scheduled for our up-coming events, which member of our Facebook page can respond by confirming whether they will “attend” or “will not attend” the event. This has allowed the temple to be able to predict number of people who will attend each event and prepare well in advance. 

The temple has continued to handout leaflet and poster to Thai Restaurant in Leeds, Yorkshire and nearby city as an additional off-line channel. 

## **Religious Activities** 

With Monks in residence we are able to meet the religious needs of the community by offering daily chanting and meditation practices at the Temple. Each day our supporters generously offer lunch to the Monks before noon and partake in the food offering ceremony. All religious activities are open to everyone regardless of faiths and beliefs. 

## **Chanting and Meditation Practice** 

Meditation practice is a fundamental part of Buddhism and we are pleased to offer facilities for this. The Temple provides meditation and quiet reflection where we offer free meditation classes that are open to all. 

As part of the Monks’ daily rituals, they perform their own chanting and meditation twice daily from 06.00 to 07.30 and again from 18.00 to 19.30. These sessions are open to everyone, either to participate or to just simply observe. Facebook Live and post is also available, everyone can join and access to the post and video in their own time at home.

## **Wat Buddharam Leeds Trustees' Report** 

## **Counselling and Bereavement Support** 

As a religious organisation we recognise that our monks will be called upon by the community to offer  counselling in difficult times. Wat Buddharam Leeds undertakes this support with sympathy and  respect, and is delighted to work with professional service providers whenever appropriate. 

The charity has increased the number of mediation and counselling sessions as well as offering a walk-in service. The temple has continued to offer online session and telephone counselling. This is to ensure that people have easiest access to support during their difficult time; especially those who lost their loved ones. 

## **Interfaith Dialogue** 

Enhancing interfaith dialogue is one of the objects of Wat Buddharam Leeds, and we are working on providing a facility in the Temple where interfaith groups will be able to meet and share interest. 

## **Community Engagement** 

The Temple is working towards increasing activity within the community. Excellent relationship has been established with the Local Police, city council and the locals. We extend our thanks for the tremendous support and help that has been received. 

The temple has also donated dry food and essentials to the local food bank to support the community a few times a year. 

## **Other user groups** 

Thai food for good deed Since 2016 “Thai food for good deed” has grown its popularity. We have had more volunteer approaching the charity to offer help and support based on their field of expertise. Food crafting class and Thai Therapy class has been made available to member and public to join and gain the knowledge from the expert. From March 2020, the charity has decided to postpone the class until further noticed due to Covid-19 for Safety of Staff and public. Unfortunately due to lack of experienced volunteer, we have not been able to bring this back just yet. 

## **Gift Aid** 

Wat Buddharam Leeds is very appreciative of the continuing Gift aid scheme by the UK Government. These are early days for the charity, and we are looking to adopt an on-line database service to record all donations, whether made under Gift Aid or not. We are aware of the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS), and we are working on achieving a history of fully compliant claims which will enable us in the future to make additional claims under this benefit. This is a project that the charity has been working toward and has successfully submitted our first claim.

## **Trustees' Report** 

## **Future Plans** 

Since the start of the charity, we have now got a good structure to follow. There are classes taking place though out the year for public and members to join at free of charge. Moving forward, as our community becomes more diverse, we see the need to enhance the quality of English Language for our Volunteer Charity Workers to reduce the language barrier to enhance more of culture exchange. Therefore, we are planning to organise English Language course for our charity workers to attend. Also continue to improve and maintain standard of our interaction to the wider audience on social media. Since the charity has invested heavily on the repair and maintenance work of the building and premise, we are aiming to maintain and look after our charity at our best effort for the benefits of the members and community. 

## **Trustees’ Statement of thanks and Appreciation** 

The Trustees of Wat Buddharam Leeds recognise the significant contribution of so many individuals who have helped throughout the year. 

## **Small company provisions**

## **Trustees' Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements** 

The trustees (who are also directors of Wat Buddharam Leeds for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware; and 

- the trustees have taken all steps they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of** 

## **Wat Buddharam Leeds** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 July 2022, which are set out on pages 11 to 20. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

The charity's gross income is not exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of (named body). 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act ; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act ; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 

have not been met; or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
