The Tru5tee5 have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, which is reflected in the range of
activities delivered during the year and described more fully within this report.

Financial Position - continued
Online short-course event5 and the 2025 residenti31 weekend operated within budget and achieved either full cost recovery
or a p051tive contribution to organisational funds.
The 2023-2025 Teacher Training course concluded during the year. Student numbers were lower than originally projected
and the course therefore generated a small deficit. The Board conside￿d delivery of the course essential to advancing the
organisation's charitable objectives and accordingly ag￿ed to subsidise the shortrall through the Places and Training Fund.
This fund has been designated for future use to support free andlor subsidised trnining for prospective students and
practitioners. The Board considers this application of funds to be consistent with the organisation's charitable purposes and
both appropriate and prudent.
The ongoing Yoga Therapy Diploma course may also conclude with a small deficit and may require support from general
funds.
Concessions and instalment arrangements continued to be offered in accordance with TSYP policy to those requesting
financial flexibility.
Helen Saaler stepped down as T￿asUrer at the july 2025 AGM but continued to serve as a Trustee with oversight of finance.
During the year, a Finance As515tant Was cont￿Cted for 10 hours per month to undertake day-to-day financial
administration, including monitoring bank attivify, preparing expenditure payments for dual authorisation, and pmducing
quarterly financlal statements. This has slgniflcantly reduced the administntive workload associated with the T￿aSurer role
and strengthened financial processes.
The Finance Assistant also supported the transition to Xero accountlng software In p￿paratIOn for dlgital fillng requirements
ssocialed with the 2025 accounts.
TSYP remains financially stable and well positioned to continue delivering its charitable aims and objectives.
