Philanthropy

As we approach Chigwell School’s 400th anniversary in 2029, we continue to evolve engagement with parents, Old Chigwellians and the wider community to promote philanthropy. Simply put, we seek to raise awareness, volunteerism, and money to enhance funds for everything from bursaries to buildings.

What is philanthropy? From Greek and Latin origins, ‘philanthropy’ loosely translates to ‘love of humankind’. Put more simply, we consider philanthropy as ‘people helping people.’ As Chigwell’s Philanthropy Department, we try to help people, help people.

Chigwell School’s ambitious goals include funding a sports centre. In line with our holistic approach, we are developing physical education and sport in young people. Additionally, we wish to increase access to a first-class education to pupils, regardless of their financial ability. We do this best through raising money for the Bursary Fund.
