TRIRATNA BUDDHIST COMMUNITY (IPSWICH)

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

During the year to 31st March 2025 the charity has continued to run a very full programme of activities for the people of Ipswich, enabling them to learn about Buddhism. The numbers attending our classes and courses for the first time has continued to increase as we have seen over the last few years. This appears to be still a post-Covid effect where people are more interested in finding meaning and purpose in their lives.

With the continued expansion of the Buddhist community(Sangha) in Ipswich we made an almost successful effort to purchase larger premises. In October 2024 we made an offer on a property in Ipswich, about a mile from the town centre. Eventually our offer was accepted and we proceeded with the legal and planning considerations. The prospect of a new Centre galvanised the Sangha and the money required for the purchase was soon raised, via pledges for loans and gifts. Unfortunately, after several months of planning, the vendors decided not to go ahead with the sale. We were out of pocket and looking again for a new Centre building.

This year we were lucky enough to have three new order Members in Ipswich, all from within the local Sangha. Two men attended the three month ordination retreat in April. Successfully returned in July as Ordained Members of the Triratna Order. Then in September a further man when on the short Ordination Course, of one month, again in Spain. Their new Buddhist names are Dharmachari Kamalsiha, Dharmachari Vishvabandhu and Dharmachari Bodhisetu. Next year we hope that some of the women within the Sangha will be ready for Ordination.

The continued success of our Level 1 and 2, 6 week Buddhism courses has again meant that we had to run a new larger Foundation study course. The Foundation year is the first part of our four year Mitra study course and is ideal for those wanting to commit themselves to a Buddhist way of life.

Like previous years we have had Open Days, workshops, introductory classes and courses, evening rituals and festivals. We were fortunate to have visits from many Triratna Order Members, including some senior Order Members. In addition to the very skilled teaching on offer, these visits are a very useful way for local Buddhists to experience the wider Triratna Buddhist Community. We have had events looking more fully at the Buddha’s teaching and at becoming more skilled at Buddhist meditation. We have run weekly evenings and also day events at the centre for those who are Mitra’s (Buddhist community members).

In May and October we held Mitra ceremonies for 7 members of our community. These ceremonies signify a person’s commitment to Buddhism in the presence of their families and friends. The ceremonies involved much rejoicing in their merits and the witnessing of them taking the five precepts, which are Buddhist ethical guidelines. Every 3 months we hold a meeting open to all our Mitras and Order Members. This keeps people up with planned changes to the Centre and also allows for them to have a voice in events and classes we hold at the Centre.

Again, during the summer months we held our popular ‘Meditation in the Park’ sessions. These sessions offer to those interested a chance to meditate in the beautiful Christchurch Park. Many people book for these session but we also welcome those just out strolling in the park to join us, and learn simple meditation techniques.

We have had more requests to join the Triratna Buddhist Order. There are weekly events for those training for ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Order. There have also been residential training weekends for ordinands as part of the Eastern Regions ‘Jewel Quest’ programme. We have had people deepening their commitment to the Buddhist way of life at all levels.

In June and December we held residential weekend retreats at the London Buddhist Centre’s Vajrasana retreat Centre in Suffolk. On the December retreat we joined with the Bury St Edmunds Sangha for a joint event. These retreats enable our members to spend time in a Buddhist environment, giving more time to meditation and exploration of the Dharma.

We also held an Urban retreat at the Buddhist Centre over a weekend in October. This differs from our usual residential retreats in that people went home to sleep with the days being spent in the Buddhist Centre. This was a great success and it allowed those with caring responsibilities to participate in a retreat.

Our Young Buddhist group for those under 35, meets monthly and explores topics relevant and important to those that attend.

The Sangha choir events continued in the year. Allowing people to chant Mantras and other traditional songs and fill the Centre with song. These sessions have been very well attended and tune-in to the positive health benefits that communal singing have been shown to give.

The Council of the Charity continue to meet regularly to conduct business which includes a monthly Council meeting of all trustees.

TRIRATNA BUDDHIST COMMUNITY (IPSWICH)

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

We have continued to give support to the people of Ipswich town in various ways. The '8 step recovery’ addiction support group is very popular with weekly peer-led meetings at the Centre. We have also continue the Zoom meetings for those not able to attend the Centre.

We hosted visits to the Centre from many schools, and also visited schools to lead assemblies and talk to classes about Buddhism. As usual we participated in the Ipswich Mayor’s Celebration of Community. We continue our involvement with the local hospices, both adult and children’s. We had regular visits to classes by inmates from nearby prisons, the visitors have been coming regularly and expressing much gratitude for being able to come and feel integrated with our Buddhist activities.

We continue to have cultural and social events at the centre with a lively programme throughout the year.

We have been involved in the National Buddhist Action Month (BAM) again this year and held a number of events and special classes looking at world ecological issues and local health initiatives. During the month we also collected and donated food and useful items to the Ipswich homeless charity, OutReach. We also support the Ipswich Family Bank, a charity looking after young families in need.

The Ipswich Buddhist Centre is also growing and thriving in the online world: we have 560 people on our e-mailing list. We have 1,200 followers on Facebook, 960 on Instagram, and 735 on TikTok. The Centres Social Media accounts are managed very successfully by our part-time media consultant, Amy Austen. With this wide online presence, we have been able to reach out to more areas of the Ipswich population than previously. Thus, we can bring help and support to all those with an interest in Buddhism and the positive benefits and changes it can make to people’s lives.

I would like to express my gratitude to the current and past Trustees: John Cook (Ariyanivata), Darren Barrenger (Sthiranaga), Sheena Davies (Nagarani), Jnanamitra Emmett, Clare Rodger (Aksayadhi), Nick Green (Vishvabandhu), Barbara Dutch, Mosaic Craigie-Williams, Eric Orme and Mark Milkovics. During the year Eric Orme and Mark Milkovics joined the trustees, with Mark taking on the role of Treasurer.I have great confidence in our Trustees, we are in regular communication with each other and remain in harmony with similar commitment and vision. We are good friends.

We also have an extremely dedicated, competent and hard-working team of Volunteers. They have kept the Centre running smoothly over this past year. Each volunteer is committed to carrying out their role to the best of their ability. The Centre wouldn’t survive without the hard work and commitment of its Volunteers, and I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to this wonderful group.

So, I am very pleased to say that our centre and community continues to thrive.

Financial review

Total income increased from the previous year by £40630. Expenditure meanwhile continued to be controlled by the Council, however saw an overall increase in costs of £9,960. This has resulted in net income of £44,587, an increase from the previous year of £30,670. Total Income was higher due to fundraising for a new center which the trustees continue to look for and expenditure increased due to legal costs in relation to acquiring a new center.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Triratna Buddhist Community (Ipswich) is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The registered office is 4 Friars Bridge Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP1 1RR.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 1 year and 1 day. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

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.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

TRIRATNA BUDDHIST COMMUNITY (IPSWICH)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings Not Depreciated Fixtures and fittings 25% Reducing Balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 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.

1.9 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

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.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

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.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
