This year, our charitable endeavours were directed towards three worthy causes. Firstly, we extended our support to the Foundation of Goodness, dedicated to assisting rural communities in Sri Lanka. Additionally, we contributed to The Felix Project, a charity that helps feed local communities in London. Lastly, supported with the Friends of the Holy Land, a charity supporting families in the West Bank, Gaza, Israel and Jordan.
