OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The purpose of the charity as set out in its governing document is ' the advancement of public health'. The trustees define this as being able to serve the public good by promoting the study and practice of the art and science of meditation and natural healing.

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes are as follows:

  1. Kriya Meditation & Peace Meditation - By learning meditation techniques & practices individuals benefit from physical, emotional, mental & spiritual wellbeing. This wellbeing helps them in their interaction with others, making that interaction a positive one. Therefore not only those practising meditation benefit but, like ripples in a pool that benefit spreads out to society in general.

  2. Natural Energy Therapy/ Progressive Counselling/ Transformation Hatha Yoga and other therapies and self-help courses - These also help people to transform and empower their lives in a very positive sense, once again positively affecting society in general.

  3. Retreats - By spending from a hour to a day to a week or more, to reflect & unwind within the Charity's environs, including its gardens and therapy pool, to imbibe in the peaceful surroundings of the Centre, people leave refreshed, relaxed and inspired.

  4. Bursaries - A direct financial help to those with limited income to benefit from the facilities and courses the Charity has to offer.

There are various volunteer contributions including: Regular volunteers which vary but generally consist of between 1 or 2. Occasional volunteers may vary as these are used for specific projects, e.g. maintenance. There may also be 1 or 2 temporary community members.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The charity continues to streamline existing operations so that practical aspects are more time, energy and labour efficient, whilst also being more accurate and complete. The process of further training of paid and volunteer staff continues each year, with the aim that senior members can act in a more supervisory role and use their time more creatively and expansively and focus more on the in depth spiritual work. This has not been achieved as much as hoped. There is still more demand for in-depth spiritual work. The charity is committed to training, both within the Centre and for the many who wish to take this ethos into their own lives. Empowering others in all ways is central to the charity's objectives. As a professional training school, the charity continues to train Natural Energy Therapists and Animal Healers.. The Centre's Course Programme continues to reflect new courses. The Centre has opened its doors to those who wish to lead retreats and other suitable courses in accordance with the Charity's objectives.

The Centre's clinic continues to serve patients for both Natural Energy Therapy and Intuitive Guidance. As a Retreat Centre, the Centre continues to accommodate people in need.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory . The level of funding during the year was adequate to support both the continuation of the charity's work and its financial commitments at the time, but was not sustainable long term. The Trustees are hopeful that funding will increase again.

Due to the current situation in the financial markets the Charity's investment policy is one of flexibility and funds continue to be held in a number of accounts to reduce risk. The Charity feels it is important that investments should be as risk free as possible.

The principal funding source for the Charity is accommodation (including Self Catering and Personal Retreats) and course fees. Fees for Natural Energy Therapy, Intuitive Guidance/Coaching and use of Therapy Pool also contribute. Donations are encouraged, particularly by regular direct debit, which helps to fund Bursaries for those in need. Large donations require the person donating to seek legal advice first.

It is the policy of this charity to hold 3 months running costs in reserve to cover unforeseen emergencies. The level of reserves currently required is £45,000, to be reviewed quarterly at trustee meetings. Reserves held at the year-end were £159,025 in the Charity's main bank accounts. This policy was reviewed in August 2023 and remains the same.

Claims have been outstanding against the charity for many years. The final claims were settled and transfers made in May 2024. This difficult period for the charity is therefore now at an end.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Centre will continue to adapt to meet the changing needs of those it serves. The focus will always be on teaching Meditation. Although the Centre is still going through a period of contraction in some avenues, and this may continue for some time within the economic climate, the Trustees feel confident that the programme will expand again, and that more outreach work can be done which will, in turn, provide even more demand for Meditation. The Charity will continue to train and support those who wish to take this way of living into their own lives. The Charity's involvement in accrediting organisations to help to set standards is continuing and the Charity will continue to meet with and aim to exceed the standards of all accrediting organisations to which it belongs or seeks to belong.

The Charity will continue to streamline and refine its procedures and delegate the practical aspects where appropriate so that those members with specialist training can focus more on expanding the spiritual work to meet the ever growing demand.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee registered under the Companies Act incorporated on 8 September 1988 and registered as a charity on 1 February 1989 (Change of names took place on 13 March 1999, 22 December 2018 and to current on 22 March 2022) It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, directors are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Page 4

Open Pathway Retreat Centre Trustees Annual Report

The governing document of the charity is the Memorandum and Articles of Association establishing the company under company legislation. There are no restrictions in the governing documents on the operation of the charity or on its investment powers other than those imposed by Charity Law. By operation of law, all trustees are directors under the Companies Act 2006 and all directors are trustees under Charities legislation and have responsibilities, as such, under both company and charity legislation. The trustees are all individuals.

All directors of the company are also trustees of the charity, and there are no other trustees. The board has the power to appoint additional trustees as it considers fit. As positions become available, or as the board sees fit, it seeks to appoint trustees with an understanding of the nature, depth and scope of the work of the charity and those who can bring to its management their own particular skills, experience and outlook to encourage continual expansion of thought and direction.

New trustees would normally already be familiar with the work of the charity. Through copies of past minutes, they gain a deeper understanding of the background work involved in the management and day to day running of the charity, further insight being given by our Company Secretary who is part of the Senior Management Team. As the work of the Charity expands and new systems come into operation, all trustees are kept informed by relevant departmental reports at the quarterly meeting.

Trustees are encouraged to spend time at the Centre to view and experience at first hand any changes taking place and to become familiar with key members of staff.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

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.

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Freehold property 0.5% Straight line Plant and machinery 25% Reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% Reducing balance

==> picture [205 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

The Charity has a general policy of capitalisation for fixed assets if the value of the individual asset purchased exceeds £300. In rare circumstances the Charity may consider an item of value under £300 should be capitalised due to its nature.

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Page 11

Open Pathway Retreat Centre Notes to the Accounts

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Page 12

Open Pathway Retreat Centre Notes to the Accounts

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

2 Company status

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
