Fund Raising
We are only able to sustain the group analytic training programme in India, through fund raising here in the UK for several reasons.
First and foremost, the fees being charged to the Indian candidates, which although considerable from an Indian perspective, are unable to meet the costs of the programme.
Second, even if we were able to raise sufficient money in India through whatever means, the Indian Government prohibits the payment of foreign professionals, particularly by charities like HNI (the institution that is hosting our training in Bengaluru).
It is for this reason that we have to raise funds outside of India.
To this end we have started the charity Group Analysis India (Charity Number 1192636) , the function of which is to raise funds to pay the costs of teachers, supervisors and group therapists.
Many colleagues and well wishers have supported us through one-off or regular monthly donations - for which we are very grateful. However, there continues to be a considerable shortfall.
This event, and others like it, are in the service of this end.
