FINANCIAL REVIEW (cowfINUED)
Prinefipal Funding Sources
The principal fimding sources for the charity ar¢ curr¢ntly by way of donations and fUnd￿sing.
IDveslment Policy
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, rnost of the chaTity'S fimds are to be
spent in th¢ short terni. so th￿¢ are few fimds for long tern] investmenL
Reserv￿ Policy and Going Concern
It is the poli￿ of the charity to maintsin unr¢stricted funds, which are free reserves of the charity, at
a level which equates to approximately six months, unrestricted expenditure. This provides suffici¢nt
funds to cover management, administration and support costs. Unrestricted funds are maintained at
this level throughout the year. The trustees are of a view that the charity is a going concern.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Looking ahead, the Vedic Society is preparing to embark on the most significant and transforniative
d¢velopment PTogr8mm¢ in th¢ history of our Temple. This ambitious multi-year Project will reshape
botb the interior and exterior of the Temple site with the vision of establxshing a landmark Hindu
temple for the entire South Coast region.
The proposed redevelopment aims to:
Redeslgn and modernise the tsmple Interior, creating a spiritually upliftin& accessible. and
functional space for worship, learnin& and community gatherin8S.
Reimagine the exterior structure to reflect traditional Hindu temple architecture while
enhancing safety, aesthetic& and long-tenn sustsinability.
Elevate tbe Temple into a regional cultural Ydnd splritsal eentre, attr￿ting devotr¢s,
visitors, students, and interfaith 8roups from across Hampshire and beyond.
Preserve and honour the heritage of the Vedic Society. while building faciliti¢s that m¢
the needs of futur¢ g¢n¢rations of Hindus in th¢ UK.
This project rwresents a on¢e-in-a-lifetime opportunlty for every member to take part through
financial suppor¢ voluntary service, professional expertise, and Community engagement. It is a
collective undertaking that reflects our unity, devotio￿ and shared responsibility for safeguarding the
future identity of our Temple. The Tetnple improvement programme is expected to take three to five
years from planning through ￿ completion. During this period, the trustees will adopt a phased and
financially responsible approach, ensuring minimal disruption to daily worship and community
activities. Further details in¢luding architectural concepts. limelines, community consultation plans,
and fimding strategies will be forn￿lIy presented at the Annual G¢nerYdl Meeting (AGM) in Mareb
2026, where members will have the opportimity to revi¢w. ask questions, and provide input into the
future direction of the project.
The trustees remain comnlltted to transparency, eareful stewardship. and the long.t¢rn) prosperity of
the Vedic S￿Iety. With the continued blessings, unity. and support of our members, this
transformational project will define the next chapter of our Temple's journey and leave a lasting
legacy for generations to come.
