Supporting Cyclone Ditwah relief efforts

In late November and early December last year, Cyclone Ditwah caused widespread devastation across Sri Lanka, impacting almost every part of the country. Severe flooding and damage to infrastructure disrupted daily life, with hundreds of lives lost and millions of people affected. Many families were displaced, homes were damaged and communities were cut off from essential services.

In response, the team at Finlays Colombo demonstrated remarkable solidarity, with many voluntarily contributing a day’s salary towards national flood‑relief efforts, collectively matching the company’s own contribution. In recognition of the scale of the devastation, Finlays donated £35,000 to the disaster relief effort, alongside a generous £20,000 donation from the Swire Charitable Trust. These funds are being used to support the ongoing recovery of communities across Sri Lanka.
