Trek4Ceylon | About the Charity

Trek4Ceylon Ltd is a charity registered in the United Kingdom, which raises funds through cycling, marathons, trekking, walking and other activities to provide support to the medical infrastructure and underprivileged communities in Sri Lanka and other countries across the world.

We ride together across Sri Lanka as a visible symbol of our hope and desire to bring physical, emotional and mental healing, as well as unity and peace, to a land scarred by war and division.

Trek4Ceylon is run by a group of volunteers who are keen to help the less fortunate, and strive to operate the charity with integrity and transparency. The bike ride is organised and run by a dedicated T4C team.

We work together with other Trek for Ceylon charities based in Canada, Australia, USA and Sri Lanka. Please contact us if you require a charitable donation receipt.

Our Projects

Trek4Ceylon identified St Luke's Methodist Hospital (Puttur Mission), in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, as a suitable cause to support and has established a long-term agreement to help in the restoration of its facilities and healthcare services. The mission hospital is run by the Methodist Church and has a proven commitment to the health and well-being of the local community and, in return, receives its respect and acceptance.

St Luke's Methodist Hospital is approximately 125 years old and in urgent need of help. Due to a lack of funding, the hospital is unable to provide adequate care for the community and is on the brink of closure.

Through the T4C2025 ride, Trek4Ceylon aimed to raise funds towards renovating the outpatient department, providing laboratory and pharmacy services, establishing and equipping three consultancy rooms to support the doctors, one of whom will be a paediatric specialist.

Funding from future rides will expand these services to include in-patient facilities. There will be a special focus on offering medical services that are not particularly well-addressed by the Government health care system in this region. These services would likely include treatment and care for special needs children, a diabetic clinic, short- and long-term rehabilitation, palliative care, maternity services and dental services.

Trek4Ceylon has its own qualified and experienced medical representatives on the St. Luke's Methodist Hospital Board to guide these strategic investments with accountability.

St Luke's is one of many projects and causes that Trek4Ceylon wishes to support in the future to bring hope and healing to those in need.
