IPSWICH SRILANKIKA EKAMUTHUWA - 5Yr Cricket Coaching Program

RCN 1151973, Warwick

Ipswich Srilankika Ekamuthuwa is a Srilankan social welfare society started by gathering Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims. As well as the work done in England, the society is investing time, money and labour in Sri Lanka. Our plans include helping under-resourced schools in order to allow children to fulfil their potential academically and in sports; we intend to help in other ways, such as distributing spectacles and school books. The charity is run by the following Trustees : Mr. Udaya Priyashantha Pathiranage, Mr Sampath Kahatapitiya, Mr Zulfikar Mihar and Mr Gayan Sirimanne. Charity’s aims back in 2013 were to promote the benefit of the citizens of United Kingdom and in Sri Lanka by the relief of poverty, sickness and distress. Also to promote Buddhist faith and improve general wellbeing of citizens from disadvantaged communities. Ipswich Srilankika Ekamuthuwa has no political, religious or social agenda and is a small charity thriving to support anyone or any institution which require support financially or any other means.

IPSWICH SRILANKIKA EKAMUTHUWA - 5Yr Cricket Coaching Program

Ipswich Srilankika Ekamuthuwa is a Charity organisation that focuses on

education/training, prevention / relief of poverty, overseas aid/famine relief for

disadvantaged communities and religious activities.

As part of our training and overseas aids for 2025, we are looking to launch our

who cannot afford cricket trainings to develop children’s basic cricketing skills.

What We have done in 1st stage (21st – 25th October 2024)

 Equipped under-resourced schools with cricket equipment to encourage

sports participation.

 Provided high standard week long cricket coaching to develop students’

skills, discipline, and teamwork.

Sri Lankan communities.
