## **Notes to accompany Triratna Trust 2024 accounts**
## **Financial activities report**
Overall income for the Trust was up some 27%, leaving us in a healthy position for the coming year.
This was primarily due to a very successful Order Dana appeal held in the spring of 2024, during which many Order members increased their monthly contributions from £10 to £15 / month or equivalent. Many thanks goes to Prajnamanas for masterminding this, it's benefits will be felt indefinitely into the future.
In addition the trustees took the decision to place a greater proportion of their reserves in COIF high interest deposit accounts, leading to a 74% increase in bank interest received.
On the expenditure side, costs remained very much in line with previous years, with some increase in grants made by the Trust and also production costs for Shabda. These are projected to rise significantly over the coming year following Shantavira's well-deserved retirement - he had always produced Shabda entirely on a voluntary basis.
Support costs for the support team have also risen a certain amount, mostly due to the fulltime presence of Nirajadhi, doing an excellent job in encouraging Order members to give Dana. This is of course better seen as an investment rather than merely a cost!
Overall the Trust is able to report a surplus over the year of £20,850, arising from a total income of some 10 times that. This restores us to a healthy position following the loss in 2023 of nearly £15,000.
## **Balance Sheet**
On the balance sheet side, there is little to comment on apart from the fact that our cash reserves have increased by the above mentioned surplus.
The Trust continued to manage supporting Bodhikamala in her work as Order Communications officer, drawing on funds contributed in 2023 from other parties in Triratna. This arrangement ceased at the end of 2024 and the balance in that account was therefore zero.
Some additional funds were received in 2024 relating to the 2025 Order Convention, these were transferred and used in India very shortly after the start of the new year and as such do not form part of the 2024 accounts.
