NPF UK Event
The Nicholas Pogose Foundation proudly presents Coffee and Conversation — a vibrant and informal initiative designed to create real human connection through the power of language.
Hosted in pop-up spaces within university campuses across Bangladesh, these relaxed gatherings offer students the chance to practice English with native speakers from the UK and beyond.
Get Involved
At the Nicholas Pogose Foundation, we believe every child deserves the chance to dream, grow, and thrive. Inspired by the pioneering legacy of Nicholas Peter Pogose, our work is focused on empowering young people across Bangladesh through transformative programmes in Education, Technology, and Sport.
Your involvement—whether as a volunteer, donor, partner, investor or advocate—helps us shape a brighter, more equitable future for the next generation. Explore the ways you can be part of this mission below.
Sponsor our Volunteer Program
Our volunteers share their time, wisdom, and encouragement over a simple cup of coffee. Volunteers meet regularly with young people through our 'Coffee and Conversation' experiences. Volunteers mentor, inspire, listen, and guide with informal English speaking.
A small donation helps provide coffee, welcome packs for volunteers, and a safe, welcoming space in Bangladesh schools and universities.
Sponsor an ‘Umpire Uncle’
Our Umpire Uncles are the wise mentors of our cricket community. Sponsor their gear, training, or travel to help them keep the spirit of the game alive with integrity and heart.
Our Uncles are our eyes and ears for grass roots cricketing talent - their scores carry a greater weight on the YZA Cricket app.
Invest in YZA Tech Projects
We create new tech projects and take them to MVP Minimum Viable Product stage. Help take our projects in Sport, Education & Business to reach greater heights and commercial success, while simultaneously supporting the young people of Bangladesh.
Partner with Us
Are you a business, sports or education specialist or an NGO. We welcome collaborations that create long-term impact — let’s build something lasting together.
Sponsor our Coffee Cups
What if a single cup of coffee could inspire change in a young person’s life?
With our Coffee & Conversation programme, that’s exactly what happens.
What Is Coffee & Conversation?
It’s our unique approach to teaching English through encouragement, connection, and conversation. Every week, we host informal meetups where young people in Bangladesh engage with volunteers over a simple cup of coffee — building confidence, practicing English, and feeling heard.
These aren’t classrooms. They’re safe, warm, and hope-filled spaces.
