DHARMARATNA BUDDHIST CENTRE 

TO TEACH DHARMA INCLUDING MEDITATION.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • This charity appears to be dormant
