Support/Membership
We rely completely on donations to fund our activities. Donations from retreats and events help us meet our expenses, but can be unpredictable.
More regular support would help us to plan ahead, book course guides and support wider activities. It would also enable us to make most of our activities available to those who are not able to pay the full donation requested.
Why do we need money?
1. Venues usually cost money. Even when a venue does not charge us for their premises, we like to make a donation anyway.
2. We make donations to visiting teachers for their time and effort.
3. We pay the travel costs, accommodation and food for visiting teachers and facilitators. This can obviously add up to a substantial amount.
4. Snacks and biscuits for Day Retreat participants.
5. Donations to Rigul Trust and Ringu Tulku. We would like to make these donations on our regular basis, but at the moment we are limited to when there are enough funds available.
Annual Membership
We are offering annual membership for those who want to provide regular support, for an annual donation of £200. It will cover your attendance at all monthly retreats during the year, saving you £60 per year.
When the membership is big enough, we can register as a charity, and claim additional tax relief through Gift Aid.
To become a member just let us know you would like to be a member by sending us an email.
Then set up a standing order through your bank to make an annual or monthly donation.
See here for the Bodicharya London bank details. You can also use Paypal, if you prefer. If you want to donate more, we are of course grateful for any extra support you can give us.
