LELUNG DHARMA TRUST

Activities of the Lelung Dharma Trust include helping Tibetans in a number of areas; creating greater awareness of Tibetan Buddhist culture and religion; organising teaching and meditation courses; providing sponsorship of monks, nuns, school children, university students and the elderly; the preservation of the Geden Phacho Bhucho lineages and publishing the works of the 5th Lelung RInpoche.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are only 4 trustees

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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
