The projects listed below have all been entirely funded by donations from you.
The Treasury This wonderful new resource is now being enjoyed by boys, dons and the public. Donors not only funded the capital expenditure, but also an endowment which will support ongoing costs. The Ralph & Cathy Townsend Bursary Fund Eight boys are being supported by this Fund, thanks to donations and pledges given in honour of Ralph and Cathy Townsend’ s tireless commitment to Winchester. The Golf Bursary Fund There are now three boys at the school benefiting from the generosity of the donors. The Northern Ireland Bursary Fund One boy is currently benefiting from this bursary. Winchester is working with local schools and communities in Belfast to identify candidates. The Shedden Bursary Fund for Quiristers This year five Qs have been awarded a bursary from the Shedden Fund. The Governing Body has agreed that Winchester will underwrite the scholarship element of the Quirister Appeal so that we can focus exclusively on setting up a fund which will support bursaries for Quiristers. The Duncan Louis Stewart Fellow in Natural History The Fellowship’ s endowment has been funded entirely from donations, and the first Fellow, Nick Baker, has now been in post for a year. His exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm is really encouraging the boys and the staff to appreciate the natural environment around us. iMac Suite A new state-of-the-art facility in Music School is now being enjoyed by the boys. Projects funded by the Annual Fund One-off and regular donations to the Annual Fund, as well as‘ unspecified’ donations are all used to support a variety of projects, and are spent in the financial year. These include the first phase of the Wi-Fi rollout, professional sport coaching, gym equipment and equipment for adventure training.
As part of our ongoing fundraising efforts we will be running a telephone campaign in July to raise money for the Annual Fund.
