Like many Triratna charities, our team operates on a ‘Give what you can, take what you need’ basis. Most people listed above give their time freely out of devotion to our teacher, Urgyen Sangharakshita, while a few are paid some basic living costs (support) for the days they work for the Trust. No-one is currently working full-time for the Trust.

The ongoing costs of running the Trust are funded by your donations.
