An amazing £107,748 was given by 416 donors by the end of the Giving Day at 8pm on Thursday evening. Every pound raised will be used to change young lives in our community.
Central to the Giving Day were the Pupil Challenges carried out at the four RGS schools which huge enthusiasm by everyone involved:
Added to the challenges was the Green Day on Wednesday which really set the tone and spirit for the event. Even the lunch menu had a very green theme!
Donations flowed from across the School community and it was inspiring to see such a wide range of donors and to read their messages of support on the Donor Wall. A sample of which are shared:
“Having been the beneficiary of a Government Assisted Place during my four years at the school, it is great to be able to help others access such a wonderful education opportunity”.
“Having myself been the recipient of a bursary during my ‘A’ Level years – I am grateful for this opportunity that RGS Worcester has provided to promote that same spirit of giving.”
“We love RGS and the vision to see increased accessibility. Thank you to all the pupils undertaking challenges and for the staff making it all possible.”
“Proud to be green today!”
