Established in 2004, APSL is an association open to all Sri Lankans in the UK, irrespective of their ethnicity, creed or political affiliation. Our aim is to promote unity and professionalism among the Sri Lankans, foster good will and cultural relations in the UK, as well as support relief and development activities in Sri Lanka.
In 2019, APSL founded the Florence De Silva Memorial Trust for Children, dedicated to helping underprivileged children in Sri Lanka. With three million rupees invested in nearly 25 projects, this initiative owes its success to the generosity of Mrs. Aruni De Alwis, who contributed from the estate of the late Florence Cecilia De Silva.
Over the past five years, the trust has provided 10 scholarships to students affected by the Easter Sunday attacks in Katuwapitiya. It also funded cancer treatments for children and supplied essential medical equipment to pediatric units during critical health crises across Sri Lanka, bringing much-needed support to children and their families.
Beyond medical aid, the trust has distributed school essentials and sponsored community projects aimed at improving the lives of children. By funding education and development initiatives, the APSL Florence De Silva Memorial Trust continues to uplift and empower Sri Lanka's younger generations.
Empowering bright minds to pursue higher education, the Scholarship Fund supports talented students in need of financial assistance to achieve their dreams.
