The Universal White Brotherhood UK 

## Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The Brotherhood has no religious or political affiliations and freely invites all those who, regardless of nationality, colour or creed, are seeking to improve their lives through a fuller understanding of the universal laws of spiritual science which underpin man's psychic and physical wellbeing. The teaching and methods of the philosopher and spiritual teacher Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov are studied and shared in an environment of collective fellowship. The Brotherhood's extensive publications have been translated into more than thirty languages. 

## The charity: 

1 Maintains a permanent centre at The Doves Nest, adjoining the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, where it holds regular meetings at weekends and longer retreat congresses which are open, by arrangement, to both subscribing members and nonmembers. 

2 Supports, by the provision of audio & video lectures, books and other printed materials, those experienced members who establish and run small regional groups for those adherents not located within easy reach of The Doves Nest. 

3 Arranges and manages stands for Prosveta (the Brotherhood's trading and publishing arm) at a number of Mind Body Spirit themed festivals held annually throughout the UK to help promotion and dissemination of the teaching. 

4 Promotes, sells and distributes Prosveta's published materials in printed, audio and video format via its mail order facility to both individuals and booksellers. 

5 Maintains websites at https://omraam-uwb.uk, www.dovesnest.org and www.prosveta.co.uk to advertise forthcoming Brotherhood activities and meetings and the availability of newly published material. A social media presence is also maintained at www.facebook.com/prosveta.co.uk and www.facebook.com/UWBUK. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The receipt of income is weighted around the start of the calendar year when subscriptions fall due and the larger donations are generally received. Income from the sale of printed, audio and video material via the charity's trading arm, Prosveta, is received throughout the year as is income for use of accommodation at The Doves Nest and for attendance at monthly meetings and congresses. The Brotherhood has been maintaining a Reserves Policy to keep a sum of approximately £25,000 in a low risk building society charity account to be held against the need to fund unforeseen or emergency expenditure at its headquarters, The Doves Nest, and to keep monies in its Business Reserve Account at the bank that can be drawn upon or replenished during the year to cover fluctuating day to day income and expenditure.

## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The Universal White Brotherhood UK changed its constitution and incorporated as a Charitable Incorporated Organization on 02 January 2018. This change brought the charity into line with modern practice and saw the initial appointment of seven trustee directors to the board. The new charity became operational on 01 April 2018 and it was decided, for reasons of governance, that its accounting year should now coincide with the calendar year. 

The Brotherhood in the United Kingdom forms one of a number of associations worldwide promoting the spiritual teachings of the Master, Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, a Bulgarian philosopher who taught in France for nearly 50 years until his death in 1986. 

The Brotherhood maintains its administrative and educational centre at The Doves Nest in East Sussex, from which it procures and distributes the teachings throughout the country via: 

a. its trading arm, Prosveta UK, through the sale of printed, audio & video materials; 

b. its website at https://omraam-uwb.uk and social media; 

c. regular meetings and congresses at the Centre and at regional venues. 

Three of the Brotherhood's trustees currently reside at The Doves Nest to administer the day-to-day running of the charity and maintenance of the premises and grounds. 

The core membership contributes to the cost of running the charity and upkeep of The Doves Nest via subscriptions and regular donations. At the end of the current review period the membership stood at 46, but the number of adherents who attend meetings, study the teachings and purchase Prosveta's various publications far exceed this number.

## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **REVIEW OF THE ACCOUNTING PERIOD** 

The charity's principal asset is The Doves Nest, its headquarters and spiritual retreat centre located in the Ashdown Forest near Uckfield in East Sussex. The property was gifted to the old charity upon its inception in 1985. It was revalued when  the assets of the old charity transferred to the new one and its market value was then assessed, in accordance with the RICS Valuation Global Standards 2017, at £1,750,000. To effect the transfer of assets to the new charity it was also necessary to clear all outstanding long term loan debt. 

Whilst the charity is heavily dependent upon donations to help fulfil its objectives, it receives some income from its trading arm, Prosveta, which distributes, via website and mail order, translations of the Teaching's literature as well as audio and video material. Turnover for the year was £6,490 from this source which was very similar to that of last year and continues to reflect the challenging market conditions.. 

The residential accommodation at The Doves Nest is available to members and non-members over the weekend of our monthly meetings and also during the longer congresses which are usually held several times a year. Whilst the Covid 19 pandemic restrictions continued to preclude the holding of a number of the full weekend meetings and congresses, income from this source was up from £5,115 in 2020 to £8,995 because of the recent take up of a long-term room letting. During the Summer months we again held outdoor, socially distanced, Sunday meetings in the grounds of The Doves Nest. 

As with last year, the covid 19 restrictions resulted in the majority of our Central London and regional meetings having to be cancelled. Nevertheless, Internet technology enabled more outreach to be conducted online and cancelled meetings were replaced by YouTube presentations and, where practicable, as for the AGM, gatherings over Zoom. 

The ongoing pandemic restrictions meant that the Brotherhood 's popular residential course for Paneurthythmy circle dancing in May again had to be cancelled as did the weekend part singing tution sessions. Likewise, we were unable to man stands at the Mind Body Soul Experiences at North London's Alexandra Palace and at other regional exhibitions which were all cancelled. Accordingly, neither income nor expenditure was generated from these sources during 2021. 

Income receipts from subscriptions and donations amounted to some £158,649 which included a generous legacy of £135,110 which enabled us to replenish the Brotherhood's reserves and will help to offset rising running costs. Gift-aiding also enabled a total tax reclaim of £4,492 from HMRC for 2021. 

Maintenance costs for the property and ground amounted to £8,660 which included scaffolding costs of £3,083 to facilitate external repair work to The Doves Nest and acquisition of some replacement garden machinery. 

Receipt of the legacy in 2021was reflected in the significant excess of Income over Expenditure for the year and better places the Brotherhood to meet future challenges. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 1 April 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

## **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').

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

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 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
