Impact on learning.|| ||||||~
Availability
ofthe temple for the congregation
during the year for|| ||||||worship
and for schools and public organisations
to leam about|| ||||||Hinduism.|| ||||||In the initial response to the covid crisis, the temple offered its facilities|if| ||||||required
for public service use. The kitchen was used by another
charity|| ||||||'Food for Life' preparing
and distributing
meals for those with specific|| ||||||needs and shielding
throughout
the city and wider region. Young|| ||||||volunteers
also collected medicines
for those shielding
and offered|| ||||||services and contact numbers
to those who may require
help in the local|| ||||||area.|| ||||||The contribution
ofthe young members
ofthe congregation
makes
it|| ||||||easy to maintain
the temple
building
and keep it clean and tidy. The need|| ||||||for a number ofessential
building
improvements
arose during the year,|| ||||||which
will require
investment
and are currently
in progress.
Investment|| ||||||was also made
in live streaming
equipment
and maintaining
a secure|| ||||||environment.|| ||||||The Youth Committee
and Management
Committee
continue to organise|| ||||||events,
religious and morals classes for the young children
and|| ||||||congregation
to take part in on Fridays and Saturdays these classes|| ||||||continue to see further increases
in numbers
and improvements
in|| ||||||structure. The teachers and presenters
who organise and take part in|| ||||||these activities are dedicated
volunteers
who also ensure that the|| ||||||children
and adults enjoy coming to and being part oftheir classes. Such|| ||||||classes moved on line as a result ofthe pandemic.|| ||||||The members
ofthe congregation
who attend the temple are the main|| ||||||contributors
offinancial donations
by which the temple is managed
and|| ||||||maintained.
We would
like to thank them but also to the members
ofthe|| ||||||congregation
and management
committee
who continue to provide their|| ||||||attendance
service and dedication
in all our activities,
without
an
cost.|| ||||||The operating costs ofthe temple continue to increase
in terms of utilities|| |Briefstatement||||ofthe|and insurance
in particular.
A number ofessential
upgrades
are required|| |charity's||policy||on reserves|in the medium
term to ensure that the building
remains
suitable to|| ||||||support the objects ofthe trust. This includes
lifecycle costs as|| ||||||components
come to the end oftheir useful
life, as well as enhancements|| ||||||to allow effective delivery ofour objects. Structural
strengthening
and fit|| ||||||out of community
facilities located on the ground
floor are estimated
to|| ||||||cost 840,000and will be undertaken
during the 2020/21 reporting
year.|| ||||||Funds are invested
in line with an approved
reserves
policy. Reserves|| ||||||are maintained
to ensure the operation
ofthe Trust in the short to|| ||||||medium
term and more importantly
also to ensure sustainability
and|| ||||||affordability
in the long term for future generations.
The Covid pandemic|| ||||||highlights
the importance
of having
usable reserves.|| |AR|||||March 2012|| ## ## |0|~|~||4|4|~||4||~|~|||4|0
