Sivagiri Ashramam Charity Foundation is the well organised charity wing of Sivagiri Ashramam. Ever since its establishment in 2023. The trustees have been completely engaged in overseeing the operational aspects of the charity. This is achieved through regular formal and informal consultations and meetings. There are informal procedures for induction and training of new trustees. Trustees are also encouraged to attend external briefings, training courses and prompted to familiarise with the gamut of Charity operations in the UK context so as to empower the Sivagiri Ashramam Charity Foundation to operate within the confines of the laws of the UK, adhering to all the rules and guidance as stipulated by the UK Government.

The main moto is ONE RELIGION and ONE GOD. While we set our objectives, and plan our activities, we have strictly adhered to the UK Charity Commission’s guidelines to ensure integrity, transparency, meritocracy, and accountability. ## **Achievements and performance** During the period, Sivagiri Ashramam initiated a process to build or buy a community centre for the activities of Sree Narayana philosophy. We have successfully found a place in Wolverhampton and got permission from one of the devotees use the premises for this activity. The aim is eventually buy the same after paying the market value to him, and make as the main centre of Sivagiri Ashramam in UK. Trustees’ meetings were held as required by the constitution During the year the charity incurred a project cost of £10,521. This is the largest outflow and used for the major program conducted by Sivagiri Ashramam named “HARMONY 2025”. Also a capital expenditure of £2,250 was paid for security camera installation. ## **Financial review** During the year ending 31[st] March 2025, we have collected funds from the devotees to achieve a major goal to buy the Sivagiri Ashramam centre at UK. ## **Reserve policy** It is policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately twelve months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and maintenance costs. The trustees’ annual report was approved and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by: ## **Dr Biju Peringathara Trustee (chair)** ## **Date: 30 January 2026** 3 **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report** |**Report to the trustees/**
