Public Benefit The Trustees review on an ongoing basis the policies and activities of the charity to ensure they continue to adhere to the objectives of the Charity taking into consideration both Charity Commission general guidance on public benefit and the Commissions supplementary guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit. Policies for Furtherance of Objectives Public Worship The Community of the Many Names of God is committed to holding and facilitating daily public worship in the three Temples maintained at Skanda Vale, promoting religious harmony to the public. In the main Temple the world's major religions are represented and treated with equal reverence and respect. Throughout the year major festivals of different religions are celebrated in the Temples. Members of the public are given every possible opportunity to take part in the devotions to God in the Temples, irrespective of their religious beliefs, race or creed. Development of Facilities and Services Emphasis is placed on extending hospitality to all members of the public coming to Skanda Vale. The Community has an ongoing program to maintain and improve facilities at the monastery to adequately support the orderly running of an organisation that caters for an annual congregation of 90,000 visiting pilgrims. The resident Monastic and lay Community The Charity fully supports, sustains and develops the resident monastic Community of 22 monks and nuns and a small resident lay Community based at Skanda Vale, providing accommodation and reasonable, modest personal needs. It is through the spiritual practice, dedication and Commitment of[the][ resident][ Community][ that][ the][ work][ of][the][ charity][is][ manifest] and realised, It is a fundamental principle that the work done by the resident Community is on a purely voluntary basis, No -3- 



## The Community of the Many Names of God 

## Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2020 

member of the Community or trustee receives any remuneration whatsoever for any work done or services provided. The vast majority of the daily running of Skanda Vale monastery is done by the monastic community and volunteers: 

Maintenance of the Temples and provision of Temple services, provision of food and accommodation for visiting pilgrims, caring for the animals and monastery grounds, counselling and supporting members of the public and administration of the charity, 

In addition to this the members of the community volunteer substantial time in significant roles at Skanda Vale Hospice. 

## Education 

The Community makes every effort to engage with pilgrims and their families through dialogue and “satsang” drawing upon the spiritual inspiration and experience of our lives educating people on how to develop a living, vibrant partnership with God. Educational visits are welcomed, providing an opportunity for the wider public to learn about the life and work of the Community in the context of our spiritual life, 

## Direct Food Aid and Charity support 

The charity continues to work with local, national, and international charities through supplying direct food aid for distribution. 

## Skanda Vale Hospice 

One of the core objectives of the charity has been to provide and develop a palliative care service for people diagnosed with a life threatening illness. Towards this the charity developed a 6 bed hospice in Saron Carmarthenshire 

The trustees sought legal advice with regards to the most appropriate governance structure and legal entity to run the new Hospice service. It was decided to form a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation, Skanda Vale Hospice CIO (SVH CIO), which became registered with the Charity Commission on 22" March 2016 number 1166180, Operational running of the hospice transferred to the new CIO in July 2016. 

To ensure that SVH CIO would operate following the ethos of the existing charity, safeguards were put in place in the constitution regarding the appointment of trustees. The CIO would have a maximum number of 13 trustees. The chairman, ex officio trustee would be the chairman of The Community of the Many Names of God (CMNOG), 2 life trustees would be appointed by the CMNOG board from the monastic community, up to 4 Nominated trustees would be appointed by the CMNOG board from the monastic community of whom 1 could be a lay member. Up to 6 trustees, the appointed trustees would be nominated by the CIO board. This enabled trustees with particular expertise and interest in palliative care to be appointed to SVH CIO to work alongside the monastic trustees. In addition to this, the objects of SVH CIO were drafted to be closely aligned with CMNOG object on palliative care. 

It is the intention of CMNOG to continue to fulfil its object in relation to the provision of palliative care through direct and continued support primarily through our commitment to provide the core volunteer staff for the hospice and to work closely with SVH CIO on fundraising and volunteering initiatives. CMNOG will also from time to time make financial donations to SVH CIO at the discretion of the trustees. 

The Main Hospice building in Saron is owned by CMNOG and leased to SVH CIO ona 50 year rolling lease for peppercorn rent of £] per anum. To provide certainty of P'unding, a Licence agreement for the CIO to use the Hospice Fundraising area in Skanda Vale has also been agreed with no rent payable, A charity shop in Newcastle Emlyn which opened in January 2017 is also owned by CMNOG and leased to the CIO on a peppercorn rent of £1 per anum to provide a sustainable cost effective source of income for the hospice service. In 2020 CMNOG donated £57,408 in funds to the CIO. 

There are several fundamental principles based on the spiritual teachings of God, as set out in the Bhagavad-Gita, to which all aspects of the Community's life and work adhere.

## The Community of the Many Names of God 

## Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2026 

God is free There is no place for commercialism in Skanda Vale. There is no charge to any member of the public for food, accommodation, Temple services, advice, counselling, and care provided by members of the Community in any aspect of the Charity's work. It is a fundamental principle of the Community never to ask for, infer the need of, or solicit in any way, funds or goods for the use of the Community at Skanda Vale. Donations and gifts in kind including the substantial amount of food stuffs that are brought to the Community are offered anonymously in the Temples to God and are used in the service of God for the benefit of the public. Devotees are thus able to worship God free from the feeling of being expected to provide goods or money to the Community. Opportunities for the public to financially support the Hospice work of the charity are created in Skanda Vale by the provision of a tea stall and gift emporium where goods are available on a donation basis to pilgrims. In addition the work of the Hospice is supported by fundraising events and activities where all funds raised are treated as restricted and applied for the Hospice part of the charity’s work. 

## Skanda Vale is a sanctuary for life. 

Worship of God in his Universality is recognising and serving the embodied divinity in all of life and creation. The many animals and plants that are part of the Community provide an opportunity for both the monastic Community and the general public to discover and serve God not only in fellow human beings but also in all aspects of life and nature. It is therefore a policy of the Charity to provide all necessary facilities, veterinary care, feed, and any other related items to ensure all animals under the care of the Community receive the highest possible quality of[life][ from][their][ birth,][ through][life,][ health][ and][ sickness,] to their natural death. 

## Organisation of the Charity 

The Charter of the Community, the monastic rule of the Order, is the basis on which the Charity is ran and organised. All monastic members of the Community have to abide by the Charter which has been drawn up and evolved through experience, by the Council of Swamis. The monastic Community consists of novices, monks, nuns and swamis, The Council of Swamis is a group of five senior monastics responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the Community on a daily basis, meeting weekly to discuss the changing needs and developments necessary to further the work of the Community, discussing and addressing the problems and difficulties that come to light in creating a harmonious environment for the worship and service of God. The members of the Swamis Council holding office in 2020 were, Swami Govinda, Swami Suryananda, Swami Narayana, Swami Yogananda and Swami Premanataraj. 

Every quarter the Trustees of the Community meet to discuss overall policy, financial position, projects and matters relating to the Community on a wider scale. All current members of the Swamis council are Trustees of the Community and hold the positions of Chairman, Secretary and Director of Finance. As such the Trustees are able to maintain clarity of vision and purpose in adherence to the spiritual teachings of Krishna which form the hasis of the Declaration of Trust for the Charity. Consultation and discussion with the lay Trustees, not only in the meetings but on a regular informa! basis throughout the year, helps to enrich the breadth and perspective of the trustee body as a whole, All trustees are consulted and a majority consensus sought prior to acting on avy matter judged significant by the Swami's Council that may affect the Charity’s financial position or ability to fulfil its objectives. The charity observes a strict internal financial control policy submitted as part of our annual audit. 

## Major Events, Progress and Achievements of the Charity throughout the Year 

Impact of COVID pandemic and actions taken to ensure both the viability and safety of the charity, ashram and resident Community. 

Following government guidelines and with regard to public safety and the wellbeing of the resident Community, Skanda Vale Temple closed to the public on 23 March 2020. We have reopened the ashram gradually to limited visitors on a pre booked basis from Mid-April 2021, slowly increasing the availability of slots and numbers throughout 2021 in line with the lifting of social restrictions, changing COVID legislation and the roll out of the COVID vaccination program in both England and Wales. Significant precautions were introduced for visitors to ensure their safety when visiting on pilgrimage. 

Devotees are still required to wear face coverings in all indoor spaces, Pilgrims can book to attend the Sri Ranganatha Temple each day as the Temple is in an outdoor setting. Pilgrims that book for the Murugan 1,30 service or the Shakti Temple 6pm service participate by video stream of the service from an adjacent marquee then entering the Temple directly at the end of the service in managed numbers. 



## The Community of the Many Names of God Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2020 

We currently offer the opportunity for 75 pilgrims per slot to book. There are three slots per day from Monday to Friday and five slots per day at weekends. We do not currently envisage being able to completely open as pre covid but are monitoring the situation continually. 

Just prior to closing, the trustees undertook a comprehensive review of expenditure and assessment of potential income in order to ensure the financial viability of the charity. Expenditure was reduced significantly in all non-essential areas. Income, expenditureand cash flow was monitored regularly to enable the charity to respond effectively in a timely manner. 

We were fortunate to receive a significant increase in online donations with members of the public expressing gratitude for our efforts to help them connect to the temples. 

We received regular donations from several individuals to cover weekly food bills for the resident community, and a couple of large donations to help pay our monthly running costs for the ashram. 

We received consent from a significant donor to lift the restriction on £50,000 of funds that had been originally donated (in 2020) to provide toilet facilities. The donor agreed for the funds to be used without restriction for any of our charitable activities. 

## How our Activities deliver public benefit 

## Public Worship and spiritual support and education 

Following lockdown, the Community continued to conduct daily public worship at the three Temples at Skanda Vale throughout the year. 

We were unable to host educational groups at the ashram as in previous years however developed arrange of online resources for support. 

Significant efforts were focused on streaming live services from the Temples on a daily basis to provide much needed spiritual nourishment for our large congregation, 

Our website was adjusted to give priority focus on enabling members of the public to easily submit on line prayer requests that would be offered by the resident community in the Temples 

We increased our online content such as video footage of key festivals and services 

We set up several What’s app groups to post regular content and information to devotees 

We developed a volunteer team working remotely to transcribe and prepare content for our online forums 

We set up a “need to talk” service for people to book a telephone appointment over our website with a community member. We conducted regular online satsangs alongside out team in Switzerland, to which members of the public could actively participate. 

We launched a new website https://www.sanatanadharma,global/ to make the teachings of our founder Guru Subramanium and sanatan dharma more widely accessible. 

We continued to ran Soma Skanda Ashram in Switzerland opening there for public worship in line with Swiss Government regulations. We were not able to change the monastic teams regularly duc to travel restrictions however the Temple services continued to be conducted and significant online spiritual support was provided to pilgrims through posts, videos and satsangs

## Volunteering 

The 25 strong full time resident community is unpaid, volunteering around 75, 000 hours over the year in total as an act of service to God. This work continued throughout the pandemic in running and maintaining the Temples, ashram estate of 300 acres and animals in our care. 

In addition, approximately 6,500 hours were provided by volunteers working remotely. A coordinated rolling team of25 to 30 transcribers ,translators, picture and video editors have volunteered throughout the year compiling and preparing content for our online forums. 

## Direct Food Aid 

Major donations from our food aid program were halted in 2020 to both conserve resources for the resident community and to be in a position to help individuals in greatest need. 

With no resources coming in throughout 2020 we significantly ran our food stocks down just providing for the resident community and ashram needs, However we were able to support a small number of local groups and individuals in significant need donating in total approximately four tonnes, In 2019 we had donated 34.56 tonnes to a range of charities and food banks working locally, nationally and internationally. 

From autumn 202] we have been able to relaunch our food aid program once again.

## Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and: 

- « Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

! 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

| 

- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements ofrecommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements and; 

- ® Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position ofthe charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed, The trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors te the Trustees of The Community of the Many Names of God Opinion We have audited the financial statements of The Community of the Many Names of God (the 'charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: ~ givea true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; ~ have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and ~ have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other information 

| | | | 

| | | | | | 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: ; - the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

| 

| | 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or ~ we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

## Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The Community of the Many Names of God 

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder, 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements, 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

fn identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: 

- nature of the charity and the sector in which it operates - the legal and regulatory framework in which the charity operates, and in particular those laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements or have a fundamental effect on operations eg Charities Act 2011 ~ resulls of enquiries of management and those charged with governance - any matters relating to: a. The charity's policies and procedures for identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations, and whether there were any known instances of non-compliance. b. Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether there is any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud. ¢. The internal controls established to mitigate risk of fraud or non compliance with laws and regulations. 

As a result of performing the above, we did not identify any key audit matters related to potential risk of fraud or non compliance with laws and regulations. 

## In addition to the above, our procedures included; 

- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess relevant laws and 

> regulations- enquiries of management and those charges with governance concerning actual and potentialRelitigationhe claims‘ - performing analytical review procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud - review of minutes of trustee meetings - written representations

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.fic.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities, This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

## The Community of the Many Names of God 

## Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2020 

1, ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparing the financial statements The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

## Income 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## Expenditure 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## Allocation and apportionment of costs 

Costs have been allocated as far as possible between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others have been apportioned based on the estimated usage of the resource. 

Support costs represent the costs of the management of the chatities assets and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## Tangible fixed assets 

Buildings are split into two categories of asset. Class 1 buildings are those of more durable type generally constructed from stone/concrete with slate roof. Class 2 buildings are less durable and may include many agricultural types and are generally constructed from timber with metal sheet/polycarbonate/timber roofing. 

Buildings Class 1 including subsequent improvements and improvements to land are depreciated at 2% per annum on a straight line basis from the date the assets were brought into use. An estimate of the initial cost of land where land and buildings were purchased together has been made in consultation with eth charities advisers. The yalue of land at cost is not depreciated. Temple and other assets including various temple animals and adornments are not depreciated. 

| 

Annual depreciation rates on all other fixed assets are applied on a reducing balance basis from the date the asset is brought into use apart from software where a straight line depreciation rate of 20% per annum is used, The depreciation rates for the different classes oftangible fixed assets are as follows: 

Land nil Buildings class 1 2% straight line Infrastructure 3% reducing balance Buildings class 2, structures & enclosures 5% reducing balance Elephant house 10% reducing balance Office equipment 10% reducing balance Plant & equipment 10% reducing balance Fixtures & fittings 10% reducing balance Vehicles 20% reducing balance

## 9 DONATED GOODS AND GIFTS IN KIND 

The Charity receives a large amount of donated goods each year. It is a fundamental principle that these goods are offered to God in the temples and that they are offered anonymously, The monastic rule and tradition of the Community is that no material value be placed on these goods as they are gifts to God and to be used in the service of God. The trustees have considered the Charities SORP (FRS 102) guidance on donated goods and have determined that due to the operational nature of the charity, the materiality of the goods received and the use they are put to, the allocation of resources and potential cost in valuation of donated goods is not justified in terms of any benefit to the users of the accounts. 

A large quantity of food and provisions is annually offered, enabling the Commumity to feed, free of charge, all pligrims who wish to receive food offered to Gad. Other donated items offered in the temples are used in the running of the Community at all levels and, where appropriate, are given to Vale Hospice Continuing Care for use in their Charity's work, 

The Community is also in receipt of a large amount of building materials, tools and machinery given throughout the year. These items are treated in exactly the same manner as items which it is practical to physically offer in the temples - they are gifis to God, used in the running of the Community for the benefit of the public. 

Similarly no value has been applied to the substantial enhancements to the original farm buildings purchased by the Community many years ago to transform them into the present day temples and facilities for the public where the materials for these works have been donated by devotees of the Community and were intended as gifts to God. It is to be noted that it is a fundamental principle of the Community never to ask for, infer the need of or solicit in any way, funds or goods for the use of the Community. 

The Community is fortunate to have the continued free use of a JCB wheeled excavator on the condition that maintenance, fuel and running costs are paid for by the Community. 

## 1. UNCAPITALISED ASSETS 

The Community owns many animals and birds. As a sanctuary for life, no animal is ever sold, for there is no guarantee that it would live out its natural life span receiving the care and attention necessary for a high quality of life. No material value can be put on life by a Community based on the principal that all life is sacred. 

There is no capitalisation in the accounts of many of the smaller temporary wooden structures primarily used for animal accommodation. 

All the images, artefacts and adornments in the Community's temples are owned by the Community and are not given a material value because of their spiritual value to the Community.
