The closure of Sun Kyeong Qi
The trustees have had to make the difficult decision to close Sun Kyeong Qi. On 28th November 2025 the trustees met and reviewed the financial situation and the future of the charity in practical terms It was not an easy decision, and many factors came into play and were discussed and looked at by management and the board of trustees before we came to this final decision. The trustees reviewed the charity’s financial position, funding outlook and recent performance, alongside the charity’s organisational structure and governance arrangements. The trustees concluded that the current structure is no longer aligned with the charity’s activities and resources and that maintaining the charity in its existing form is no longer sustainable. From this meeting it was decided to begin the process of winding up the charity and to cease trading as a charity on 6th February 2026.
Main achievements
During the final six months, Sun Kyeong Qi continued to help people across the UK enhance their quality of life. In the Glasgow and London centres, we provide an oasis of calm for our clients, looking to recharge and restore physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. The charity has continued to provide a range of in-house, online and outreach events around the UK and worldwide. We continued to offer some events, classes, talks and meditation courses both in the centres and online. As well as day-to-day services of classes and treatments. Our practitioners have continued to support the clients from Manchester, where we had to close the centre, with regular monthly visits offering treatments, Qi classes and meditation sessions.
Exhibitions and Events
During the past six months we have not attended any events. There are far less events available but the cost of attending them and hiring a stand has proved to be increasingly expensive and not within the charity’s budget.
In house events and collaborations.
London and Glasgow have held open days as a potential way of sourcing new clients and raising revenue for the charity.
We tried to partner with businesses and community organisations to promote Sun Kyeong wellbeing services on an ongoing basis. We created a new service called ‘Energy in the Workplace’ in which we looked to collaborate with the businesses and corporate world as well as other health professionals who specialised in a particular field. By collaborating we hoped to be able to open the door for people to understand the importance of energy in supporting their physical and emotional wellbeing.
The London and Glasgow centres have continued to offer online Qi Classes to all those unable to come in person. This enables people throughout the UK and overseas to join classes from home six days a week.
Supporting charities and community groups
In November we had a charity wellness day for members of the Hello Love community. We have partnered with Hello Love before, a charity supporting people going through and in remission from cancer with different classes, talks, art, and non-toxic alternatives. We invited their members to come and spend an afternoon at the centre to try a Qi energy class, some meditation and a full body treatment.
We continued to make fruit and food donations to the Glasgow City Mission and the Euston Food Bank. The Glasgow Centre has also made regular fruit donations to Garnet Hill Multicultural Centre for their community cafe and community meal for refugees and asylum seekers. They have greatly appreciated this healthy regular contribution to their community cafe.
Sadly, the Euston food bank closed at the end of 2025. Since then, we have donated to Food Cycle. Food Cycle is a UK charity that takes surplus food from supermarkets, markets, and local food businesses and turns them into free community meals. The meals are cooked by volunteers and served in welcoming community spaces where anyone can come and eat together.
