Annual Fund and Telethon



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.
