## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _**Nature of governing document**_ 

The Fellowship of Meditation was incorporated on 5 January 1952 (Company Number 00503150). It is limited by guarantee. The affairs of the Fellowship are governed by its Memorandum and Articles of  Association.  The  liability  of  the  members  (who  are  also  directors  of  the  company  for  the purposes of company law) in the event of the Fellowship being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £1. The Fellowship is registered with  the  Charity  Commission (Registration number 213323). 

## _**Recruitment and appointment of council**_ 

Any  person  if  seeking  the  truth  and  ready  and  willing  to  confirm  to  the  conditions  of  the membership is eligible to become a member. No person shall be admitted as a member of the Fellowship unless they are first approved by the council, who shall have full discretion as to the admission of any person as a member. Trustees are elected by members of the council at the Annual General Meeting, following a discussion of qualities the potential member can bring to the Fellowship and vote by the council accordingly. 

## _**Organisational structure**_ 

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, responsibility for the management of the Fellowship and its assets is vested in the Members of the Council. 

The Fellowship is dependent upon the services of the Members of the Council who administers the charity and meet regularly, of which they give their time free of charge.

**THE FELLOWSHIP OF MEDITATION LIMITED REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

The Fellowship continued its policy of the promotion of contemplative meditation as a way of approaching The Divine Presence. This is communicated through notes to members newsletters and gatherings. 

Financial assistance is given to students and would-be students of contemplative mediation, not being members of the Fellowship, of insufficient means to attend the centres of mediation and its lectures, classes and gatherings. Conferences are held several times a year at various venues around the country, including:- Whalley Abbey, Holland House, Stanton House. 

The Council of Management meet regularly and are responsible for organising gatherings, retreats and teaching seminars, enquirer courses, the content of the monthly notes and adding to an already  extensive  circulating  library  as  well  as  business  matters  including  house  repairs  and publicity. 

The members confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Fellowship’s aims, objectives and future plans. 

The  Council  members  confirm  that  they  have  completed  the  ‘Trustee  Positions:  automatic disqualification declaration’ as required under the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016. 

The annual report was approved by the council of the Charity on ……………… and signed on its behalf by:

**THE FELLOWSHIP OF MEDITATION LIMITED REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on pages 1 to 20. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The council (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The council consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 

145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as a council concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1) which gives me a reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 

have not been met 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts 

to be reached.

**THE FELLOWSHIP OF MEDITATION LIMITED REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** 

## **1   Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

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 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Fellowship of Meditation Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Income and endowments** 

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. 

## _**Deferred income**_ 

Deferred  income  represents  amounts  received  for future  periods and is  released  to  incoming resources in the period for which it has been received. Such income is only deferred when: 

- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the Charity has unconditional entitlement. 

## _**Gift Aid**_ 

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate. 

## _**Investment income**_ 

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the  use of resources, with central staff costs  allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

8 



**THE FELLOWSHIP OF MEDITATION LIMITED REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the Charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements,  including  audit,  strategic  management  and  Trustee’s  meetings  and  reimbursed expenses. 

## **Taxation** 

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010  and  therefore  it  meets  the  definition  of  a  charitable  company  for  UK  corporation  tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset Class Depreciation method and rate** Furnishings, fittings and equipment 10% straight line basis 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at  the  balance  sheet  date.  Realised  gains  and  losses  on  investments  are  calculated  as  the difference  between  sales  proceeds  and  their  market  value  at  the  start  of  the  year,  or  their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at year end. 

## **Stock** 

Stock consists of books and leaflets held for resale and are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the Charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

9 



**THE FELLOWSHIP OF MEDITATION LIMITED REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** 

## **Trade creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course  of business  from suppliers.  Accounts  payable  are  classified  as  current  liabilities  if  the Charity  does  not  have  an  unconditional  right,  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period,  to  defer settlement  of the creditor  for at least  twelve  months  after  the reporting  date. If there  is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Fund accounting** 

All funds are unrestricted income funds that are available for use at the trustee’s discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity. 

The funds may at the discretion of the members of the Council be expended for income or capital purposes.
