Trustees

The FARS Chanmugam Trust is a Charity set up by Tony Chanmugam in order to improve the lives of disadvantaged children in his native country of Sri Lanka. He has co-opted onto the board of trustees other family members, friends and acquaintances of varying ages and backgrounds, some based in UK, some in Sri Lanka and others from around the world, who are enthusiastic about this work and who can offer a variety of skills and experience to this very worthwhile project.
