Our Charity Partner
The Dust Project
We have a strong and longstanding connection with The Dust Project Charity. Both Sarah and Roy Chisnall serve on the Board of Trustees and have led several volunteer trips, helping to build homes for families living in tin shacks under some of the most challenging conditions imaginable.
The Dust Project is a not-for-profit organisation working in Sri Lanka to support children, strengthen local commerce, and provide the foundational security families need to thrive within their communities. Through our Child Sponsorship programme, construction projects, and a range of entrepreneurial and educational initiatives, our mission is simple: to help where it is most needed, creating sustainable change that lasts.
Over the past 13 years, we have donated more than one million pounds to support vital projects. This includes the construction of a community centre, orphanage, and school in Jaffna, as well as over 35 homes across the Jaffna and Colombo regions. To date, more than 200 children have been sponsored through the charity, and we are currently raising funds to build a new school in Colombo.
We are proud to partner with a number of businesses and are always keen to involve more individuals and organisations in our work. To learn more or get involved, please visit our website.
