In the spirit of our Founder, The Henry Smith Club is a crucial philanthropic group that underpins our work in the local community and supports Reigate Grammar School to provide first-class educational opportunities to children from disadvantaged backgrounds, so that they can achieve and realise their potential.
Established in 2014, the Henry Smith Club is linked to the Changing Lives, Building Futures campaign – over this decade of philanthropy, it is our hope to double the number of members so that we can continue to support Reigatians and the wider community over the coming years.
I am eternally grateful for the support that I received to attend RGS. Second only to be being born, it is the most important thing that has happened to me. “ “ “ “
Leo - Former Bursary Student
I firmly believe that a good education is a powerful enabler of social mobility, and I am extremely proud to be President of this important philanthropic group. If your situation allows, I urge you to support so that together, we can continue to change the lives of more students at RGS and help them achieve their potential.
When I left RGS on a bursary, I threw myself into my career – fast forward to present day and I am now in a position to give back as a Henry Smith Club member, I’m delighted to be giving back and helping others along their RGS journey, it changed the course of my life.
