TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31[st] December 2021.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 22[nd] October 2018, registered under the Companies Acts (registration number 11634542) and its governing document is its Articles of Association. It was granted charitable status by the Charity Commission under number 1181153.
Corporate Governance
By operation of law all trustees are directors under the Companies Act 2006 and all directors are trustees under Charities legislation and have responsibilities, as such, under both company and charity legislation.
Trustees are selected by invitation of the Board, based on willingness and capability to serve, the needs of the company and individual suitability and integrity. At the end of their fixed term trustees may apply to be re-elected onto the Board. The charity inherits the policy of its predecessor on induction of trustees. This is based on the Charity Commission’s The Essential Trustee . This policy will be regularly reviewed.
Organisational structure
The charity works within the framework of a world-wide Sangha* and in close collaboration with its sister charity in the United States of America, a registered non-profit company Aro Gar inc. and a recently formed Finnish charity Drala Thang.
The day to day running of Drala Jong and development of future strategies for the centre have been devolved to a sub-committee reporting to the Board of trustees. Previously called the Synod, the Drala Jong Management Team has become operational although they await the establishment of a new, separate bank account with business cards that will facilitate the financial operation of the centre.
*Sangha is a term for a Buddhist community of practitioners, usually of a similar lineage.
Related parties and co-operation with other organisations
Sang-ngak-chö-dzong and Aro Gar are independent but collaborate over teaching events held in each other’s countries, and fundraising for any common purpose such as the establishment of Drala Jong as the retreat centre.
Objectives and activities
The charitable purposes of the Charity are to advance the Vajryana Buddhist religion, in particular but not exclusively the Aro Lineage of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism by such charitable means as the Trustees think fit from time to time.

Public Benefit summary
The trustees are aware of and take account of the Commission’s guidance on public benefit in their policy and decision making regarding activity and spending.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit
Establishment of a public retreat, teaching and archive centre. Support for publication of on-line teachings through broadcast and archived video, images, text and audio and book publication. Support for the teaching and development of practitioners, teachers and apprentices. Promotion of the nonmonastic ordained Ngak’phang tradition in the West through publicity and forging links with Nepal, Bhutan and other traditional Vajrayana countries. Medical and housing support for Tibetan Lamas in exile. Sponsorship and support for craft projects associated with traditional art and sculpture, practice equipment manufacture, production of ritual costumes etc.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Summary of main achievements
The charity continued to operate during a period of ongoing Covid-19 restrictions but, of necessity, in a somewhat restricted manner.
The retreat centre, Drala Jong, acquired by the charity in 2019 remained closed to the public throughout the reporting period. This was due to Covid restrictions and the consequent inability to progress with conversion of the premises to make them suitable.
This was in part due to financial constraints, but also due to restrictions on supply of materials, nonavailability of contractors and many other consequences of the ongoing pandemic situation.
It continued in use as a residence and studio for on-line zoom broadcasts of teachings and, when Welsh government rules permitted, it was visited by volunteers to perform maintenance and development works. These included temporary catering facilities that will enable further volunteer events and small teaching events for visiting members.
Work on the land, being outdoors, was less affected, and included tree planting, hedge laying and clearing of fallen trees and developing strategies for better control of run-off water to preserve topsoil and reduce erosion.
These measures have obvious ecological benefits for plant diversity, improved animal habitat and carbon sequestration as well as the enjoyment of the environment for future generations.
Work on the shrine room has progressed well to a level where it can now function as such but it is somewhat limited by the kitchen facility at the top end which awaits the construction of a new extension into which this can be moved.
Having and developing a centre and base forms a focal point and venue from which residents, members, visiting volunteers and others have benefitted, and this will increase as development progresses.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Where possible, we have sought to bring economic benefit to the local community via contracting services and tradespeople, forging links with individuals and organisations locally, and using sustainable methods that will provide environmental benefits in years to come.
We have continued work on our web resources which we hope will increase public accessibility to the Vajrayana Buddhist teachings. The scope of this project has widened during the year as it affords an opportunity to review content as well as simply transferring it to a new platform, but this inevitably extends the timeframe for its completion.
The charity has entered into an agreement to support Aro Books Worldwide, a small-scale enterprise who publish books on Buddhism. The support is in the form of financing up-front costs such as ISBN registration and the supply of a printed copy of published works to the national library. In return ABW donate proceeds from their sales to the charity.
This benefits authors, giving them a platform for disseminating their work, and also those members of the general public who may wish to read such works.
Achievements against objectives
Slow progress continued (as in the previous year) towards establishing a retreat centre that is initially available to members and will eventually open to the public. The COVID restrictions were a major factor in the reduced rate of development. By the end of the reporting period we had entered into more detailed discussions with our architectural consultants/project managers about our specific needs and priorities and likely costs. Both they and ourselves have been less able to proceed as envisaged due to prevailing circumstances.
Progress on web development transitioned from exploring options and deciding on a suitable platform to the process of transferring material to a new web platform, which is now underway.
Fundraising activities
We were awaiting more details of the cost of building development at Drala Jong at the end of the reporting period, in order to set fundraising targets. At this point the charity suffered a financial setback as a result of damage to the woodland by storm Arwen at the end of November.
This required immediate action to clear fallen trees from adjacent property and a stretch of public road and make the overlying slopes safe from fallen and damaged trees threatening those involved in clearing the roads. The eventual cost turned out to be around £40k*. This put all other fundraising efforts temporarily on hold.
Although sufficient funds were in place to meet this unexpected demand an immediate appeal was launched in order to recover our financial position and the generosity of regular donors, members and friends meant this amount was largely recouped during the first quarter of 2022. *of which only £10k was expended during this reporting period

Investment policy and objectives
Our existing policy was aimed at protecting savings capital rather than growth. Now we have become property-owning our policy will be reviewed but the immediate aims are to develop the property rather than invest in other forms of capital.
Apart from maintaining and improving its own property the charity has no investment goals, and indeed currently holds no investments in other forms.
Financial review
The charities cash funds have once again remained relatively stable. During the year the trustees have approved expenditure on equipment, furnishings, improvements etc. and charitable activity based on affordability and income levels. At the end of the year there was a dip due to the unforeseen storm event, but the success of our Storm Arwen appeal in early 2022 has seen this recovered.
Reserves policy
The policy is to aim to have two years’ worth of essential expenditure in reserve. The reserve is intended to see the charity through a period of unforeseen financial stress caused by loss of income, or unavoidable and unforeseen expenditure, enabling it to continue its essential core activity and meet any liabilities until a recovery strategy can be enacted. As stated below the amount has been amended as a result of recent experience.
During the reporting period this amount was designated at £20k but in light of our experience with storm Arwen the amount will be increased to £30k.
The charity’s principle sources of funds
The principal income is from regular donations and one-off donations predominantly from supporters and practitioners among the sangha we represent. A little comes from activity such as on-line large retreats, fundraising events, public appeals and sales of practice material and books.
Principle risks facing the charity and risk management
We have continued to develop written policies and procedures to assure good corporate governance. This include documents on Health and Safety, managing conflict of interest, induction of new trustees, and investment strategy guidelines.
The principal risk to the charity is considered to be the loss or damage of property, loss or damage of reputation and a significant reduction in regular income.
Going concern
The ongoing viability of the charity in light of external pressures has been considered by the trustees.
At the end of 2021 the COVID situation seems to be easing but is not over and the reimposition of severe restrictions, whilst unlikely, is not impossible. The trustees feel that, having weathered the last two years, the charity has learned to adapt and sees no reason to think they would not be in a position to respond well to any future privations of a similar nature.
Energy price shocks, inflationary pressures and a general recession in the economy probably represent greater threats in the coming year, but in general the trustees would manage these by slowing down

the pace of building development, restricting activity to affordable levels, and other measures to manage expenditure which would enable continuing financial viability.
After reviewing the charity’s forecasts and projections and its reserves, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The Trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of Company law) are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure for that period. In preparing the 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 charity 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 charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small company’s regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

As the trustees (and also 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).

Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that:

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
• the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements under 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

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds
Designated funds
Restricted funds
These are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity.
These are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
These are available for use subject to restrictions imposed by the donor or through terms of an appeal.
Income
Recognition of income
Income with related expenditure
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to, and virtually certain to receive, the income and the amount of the income can be measured with sufficient reliability. Where income has related expenditure the income and related expenditure is reported gross in the SoFA.
Donations and legacies Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in the SoFA when receivable and only when the Charity has unconditional entitlement to the income.
Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Donated services and facilities
Volunteer help Investment income
Income from tax reclaims is included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift/donation to which it relates.
These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material.
The value of any volunteer help received is not included in the accounts.
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
Expenditure
Recognition of expenditure
Expenditure on raising funds
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising trading costs and investment management costs.

SANG-NGAK-CHÖ-DZONG
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Expenditure on charitable activities
These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs.
Governance costs
Other expenditure
These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
| Fixtures and fittings | 33.3 | % straight line |
|---|---|---|
| Buildings | 2 | % reducing balance |
| Motor vehicle | 5 | % straight line |
| Ritual items | not depreciated |
Assets are not depreciated in the year of purchase.
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities.
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
2 Company status
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
