Hindu College Colombo Past Pupils Foundation UK

Registered Charity No. 1219218

We are delighted and immensely proud to announce a historic milestone in the journey of the Colombo Hindu College Past Pupils Association UK (CHCPPAUK).

On 11 August 2026, the Hindu College Colombo Past Pupils Foundation UK was officially registered as a charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, under Charity Number 1219218.

💛 40 Years of Giving. A New Chapter of Impact.

What began in 1985, when a group of past pupils came together in London with a shared desire to support their Alma Mater, has grown into a global alumni community committed to education, student development, sports and welfare.

Over the years, CHCPPAUK has initiated and supported numerous programmes at Hindu College Colombo, including:

🎓 Education & Empowerment Programmes
🏃 Sports Scholarships & Sports Development
⚽ Road to Division 1 – Football Development
🍛 Hunger Relief Programmes
🌟 Retaining a Talent Programme
🏠 Housing & Welfare Assistance
🌧️ Flood Relief & Emergency Support
🎒 Student Development & Essential Equipment

Our recent projects — from sports equipment scholarships supporting young athletes to emergency flood-relief initiatives — demonstrate what can be achieved when alumni, sponsors, well-wishers and partner organisations work together.

🤝 From Past Pupils Association to a Stronger Charitable Future

This registration marks not an end, but the beginning of a new chapter.

The Foundation provides a formal charitable framework through which we can continue to develop our work, build partnerships and support meaningful projects for the benefit of students and the wider community.

Our charitable objectives include advancing education for the public benefit by supporting and providing co-curricular and extracurricular educational activities, programmes and opportunities, working in partnership with Hindu College Colombo and other charitable organisations, alumni associations and educational institutions.

🙏 This Milestone Belongs to All of Us

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to:

💛 Every past pupil who supported CHCPPAUK
💛 Our members and volunteers
💛 Our sponsors and donors
💛 Our well-wishers around the world
💛 Hindu College Colombo
💛 The Sri Lanka OBA and other global alumni organisations
💛 Every person who has contributed time, ideas, resources or encouragement

Without your trust and support, this journey would not have been possible.

From our first gathering in London in 1985 to becoming a registered charitable organisation in 2026, the purpose has remained the same:

To give back to our Alma Mater and create better opportunities for the next generation.

🇬🇧 One Alumni Community.
🏫 One College.
💛 One Purpose.
🌱 A Future of Greater Impact.
