Support & Donations
Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are reaching out to kindly request your support in helping us repay an outstanding loan that continues to weigh heavily on our financial stability. Your contribution—no matter the size—can make a meaningful difference, lifting this burden and enabling us to continue our vital work with clarity, focus, and freedom from financial constraint.
As of today (May 2025) , the remaining loan balance stands at £255,000 (two hundred and fifty-five thousand pounds). Our goal is to gradually repay £35,000 (thirty-five thousand pounds) each year, with the aspiration of settling the full amount within seven years.
We sincerely invite you to be part of this shared effort. Every donation brings us one step closer to long-term sustainability and ensures that the temple can serve as a spiritual and cultural refuge for generations to come.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Ven. Phramaha Bhatsakorn Piyobhaso Chairman and Founder of Wat Phra Srisanphet UK

Food donations
Offering a meal to monks happens every day between 10:00 am -12:00 pm whenever the monks are present. Please always double-check with the resident monks as sometimes, they have appointments to take the service and meals outside.
At the Temple, we always have plenty of rice, instant coffee, black and green tea, hand soap, cream cleanser, toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, paracetamol/Panadol, thus before shopping dana for the temple, it would be best to ask about the specific needs of the temple.

Temple’s outstanding loans
Although the Trust successfully purchased the property to accommodate monks and hold religious services and events, the Trust still has an outstanding loan of £255,000 (two hundred and fifty-five thousand pounds). We, therefore, appeal for your kind donations towards repaying the loans and funding the running costs of the temple.
Standing Order
Temple income varies greatly from month to month, depending on numbers of visitors, public events and festivals. A Standing Order allows a bank to take the same amount of money regularly from your account to pay to the Trust on a specified date. Standing Order donations will be spent on paying utility bills and other running costs. You can set up a direct debit on your own, or download the standing order form and return the completed form to the Temple.
