Hi Friends and Family,

On Sunday 19th October 2025, I’ll be taking part in a 5 km Charity Run at Richmond Park in support of the UK-registered charity Blossom Trust (Charity No. 1145318).

I’d be super grateful if you could take a few minutes to visit my fundraising page and make a donation to this worthwhile cause.

About Blossom Trust

Since 2012, Blossom Trust has been empowering lives through education, healthcare, and community support in Sri Lanka. This year’s Charity Run will raise funds for 2 key initiatives:

1️⃣ Graduate Financial Support Scheme (launched 2014)

• Blossom Trust partners with Jaffna, Eastern, Moratuwa and other Universities to provide financial assistance to select students in need

• To date, 167 undergraduates are receiving support across diverse degree disciplines including Medicine, Engineering, Law, the Arts etc.

2️⃣ Unicom TIC – IT Training for Employment (launched 2024)

• Offers an intensive Diploma in Software Programming to equip young people with job-ready IT skills

• Students are selected nationwide through an aptitude-based process.

• In its first year, 90 students were trained and 70% secured employment in I.T. Industry and 24% working in other industries or pursuing higher studies. Blossom Trust funded boarding and lodging for all participants

• This year, we will be supporting 101 students who are enrolled and in need of financial support

Why it matters

Your donation, however big or small, can help transform lives, uplift families, and strengthen entire communities. And if you’re a UK taxpayer, you can add 25% Gift Aid at no extra cost.

Every penny count, and 100% of your donation goes directly to Blossom Trust.

Thank you so much in advance for your support! And feel free to come to Richmond Park on the day to support us and learn more about the programmes:
