THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE
Thank You for Your Support Throughout 2021 Sam Corfield, LWC’s Development Director, would like to say a huge thank you to all Sternians who supported the College across another extraordinary year. That support came in a number of ways... ATTENDING EVENTS Obviously, our normal events programme was hampered again by covid for most of the year. However, it was wonderful to see Sternians and LWC parents come together and get involved in a variety of LWC Focus talks and Donor Club events via Zoom. We were so grateful to all those who hosted an LWC Focus talk during one of the lockdowns - people tuned in from all around the globe to watch a wonderful series of interesting topics, thank you.
SUPPORTING ONE OF OUR CAMPAIGNS For those of you who have read our latest Supporter Update, you will have already seen a report about fundraising income for the academic year of 2020/21.
sure the whole Association join us in being grateful for the work that you do. Thank you too to those who have helped our pupils with careers advice – whether you have hosted a Roundtable session for pupils interested in a particular industry sector, offered work experience opportunities, or have started to mentor pupils or young Sternians, your help is much appreciated. We know others have already signed up for events in 2022, so thank you in advance.
We were delighted to have raised almost £640,000. This showed a 15% increase overall on 2019/20, and a 30% increase in donations from individuals. This was truly incredible particularly in light of the pandemic. Income from Trusts & Foundations and Legacies , however, were down. We are so grateful to the whole LWC Community (Sternians, LWC parents, staff and friends) for everyone’s continued support of the College and our endeavours. Read on to hear more about each campaign.
If you would like to volunteer in some way, whether that be with Sternian events and initiatives (especially with the Centenary around the corner), joining the Committee or helping with careers support, then do get in touch with Justine.
Fundraising Income 2020/21 In person events began again in September and it was fantastic to see so many of you at different venues throughout the Autumn term from the Young Sternians at the Leavers events to the Over 60s lunch, and everything in between. VOLUNTEERING Firstly, a massive thank you to The Sternians’ Association Committee members for giving up your time and energy for the membership and the College.
