TRIRATNA EAST KENT BUDDHIST GROUP 

At the Triratna East Kent Buddhist Group we teach meditation and Buddhism in a way that is relevant to contemporary life. At the moment, that means online. Normally courses and drop-in classes take place in a variety of locations in and around Deal, in East Kent.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
