Charities
By supporting the expertise and energy of others, we may further the overall contribution that the College can make to society. Here is just a tiny snapshot of the fundraising and collections for charity organised by our houses and pupils this year. Well done to all our pupils and staff for digging in to support others.
The Tiger Kloof school in South Africa is one of our longstanding charitable partners and a recipient this year of nearly £20,000 raised by the Blücher. The Benson has raised nearly £6,000 for the Junior Diabetes Research Fund; and the Mityana Charity which runs education projects in Uganda received nearly £5,000 from the Orange and the Raglan. College non-uniform days have supported the Disasters Emergency Committee appeal to help those affected by flooding in Pakistan, Comic Relief, and the Egmont Trust, an Aids charity working with children. One of our pupil-led committees organised a collection of period products for distribution locally to women and girls who cannot afford them; and the annual College concert in aid of the Crowthorne Community Minibus raised £1,500.
