Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main Entered the early 2021, the world still suffering with Covid-19. We were achievements of the charity aware that we can’t be there to support each other in person especially during the year during the locked down period. But through a donation of £3000 to British Red Cross, it has gone to support the most vulnerable communities, including families who are in refugee camps, suffering from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic with minimal healthcare provisions and the frontline medical aid workers supporting them. Plus, 21,000 pieces of Type IIR Masks which cost £630 were donated to the British Red Cross response for use by frontline volunteers and staff who will be using masks for crisis response work and independent living services.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any funds materially in deficit	We have achieved all above while maintain a healthy financial position, as we have regular donations from volunteers and members, no loan or debt taken in the year and we have no intention to do so in the next 12 months. As we are facing the Covid issue, lots of beneficial community’s activities won’t be able to carry out as usual as previous year, which mean the expenditure was less than usual. Moreover, we have planned to move the temple to a more accessible location with a new contract plus utilities bill on top. Hence, we must plan carefully with the expenses. The new temple can hold a good number of guests if running any community activities such as vegetarian events. This will be saved up on hiring other venue in term of cost wise or a small fee to hire a next door venue for a bigger space if essential. All our suspended beneficial activities will be run as normal as soon as the daily Covid cases is under control.
	No deficit in this financial year due to the rental which is our bigger expenses has been paid off for 2 years on last financial year. We have vacated the temple when the lease came to the end of October 2020 more over the temple was not allow opened to the public. The entire inventory has been removed and stored at unit storage in term of rental wise. Although we have donated to British Red Cross to support peoples suffering from Covid-19, but we are still showing £9,000 of surplus over this financial year.
