The Annual Fund is a yearly approach to the
wider St Edward’s community. It aims to develop a closer
relationship between the School and past pupils,
parents, staff and friends, and to ask these communities
to support the School in whichever way they feel they
can.
The Annual Fund was launched in 2006 to
support the School’s ambitious Strategic Development
Plan, which seeks to augment and improve our buildings
and facilities through numerous capital projects and the
formation of an endowment, thereby continuing to deliver
the standards of excellence you would expect from a
leading independent school. Priorities are set by a
committee of senior staff; the Annual Fund provides
immediate funding for specific projects.
TELEPHONE CAMPAIGN
A key part of
the Annual Fund is the Telephone Campaign, which was
held this year from 7th-25th July 2009. Over 1,000 OSE
both in the UK and overseas were called by a team of
fifteen young OSE, who left the School within the last
four years.
The Telethon raised pledges of over
£66,000. The immediate disbursal of these funds means
that students are already benefiting.
Projects for 2009
All projects for
which we are seeking financial support are on a modest
scale and will be realised within the next year. This
year’s projects are: Scholarships and Bursaries, the
North Wall Theatre and Music programme, a new Sports
suite.
You can choose to allocate your gift to a
project of your choice, or to donate to the ‘area of
greatest need’.
Unrestricted gifts provide the
flexibility for the School to use the gifts it receives
wherever the need is greatest, ensuring that your money
will provide the maximum benefit to the St Edward’s
community.
Every donation, whatever its size, can
make a real difference.
