KADAMPA MEDITATION CENTRE LEEDS 

Our Centre runs classes, day courses, workshops, chaplaincy, visits, GP and FP. Through GP we introduce basic Buddhist view, meditation and action, and other teachings and practices, of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition of Atisha and Je Tsongkhapa. FP enables extensive study of Sutra teachings. GP and FP help deepen our experience of Buddha's teachings & the commentaries by Ven Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
miles
