Standing Committee of Tamil Speaking People founded in 1977, the oldest UK registered Tamil Charity. One of our fund-raising events is Tamil New Year Lunch and Lecture. We provide a platform for eminent speakers to share their thoughts and views with our guests to stimulate a lively discussion. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, as per last year we are conducting WEBINAR instead of a in person lunch programme. SCOTs aim is to uplift and empower the lives of under-privileged Tamil speaking people in Sri Lanka.
