Centenary Appeal

It has been an action-packed Centenary Year with so many activities and celebrations.

It has been wonderful to see how the whole LWC Community have really stepped up this year to support the College. In particular, The Beckwith, Sahara Trek, Chaplain’s Challenge and the Giving Day have all helped secure hundreds of new donors, all supporting LWC. Thank you. We still have a few more months of the year to continue to raise funds for our Centenary Appeal. This appeal, unsurprisingly, focused on The Foundation, but also included our new Foundationer Extras and Centenary Sculpture campaigns.

The Foundation

It comes as no surprise that The Foundation has remained the focus of our attention throughout our Centenary year. We have had so much to celebrate with over 2,500 Foundation pupils passing through the Acorn Gates since the College opened its doors in 1922. Finding new and innovative ways to fundraise can be a challenge but it has been great fun exploring different fundraising avenues to support our charity this year. We have been humbled by your generosity as numbers of donations to The Foundation have increased. Your support is invaluable and we thank you.

Foundationer Extras

This year we launched our Foundationer Extras Appeal. An opportunity for us to ensure we widen access to the wonderful array of extra curricular activities, experiences and equipment at LWC. The appeal has struck a chord with so many of you and we thank you for your on-going generosity. An education at LWC should be a rich and rewarding experience, with the opportunity for all to explore their talents. It has been wonderful to see Foundation pupils access musical instruments, travel abroad and begin drama/music lessons this year. Please continue to support the appeal if you can.

Centenary Sculpture

Fundraising for the Centenary Sculpture of Baron Sydney James Stern began approximately 18 months ago. We have seen a steady stream of support, most notably from our Sternian community who have for many years requested a lasting tribute to our philanthropic founder, Lord Wandsworth. How wonderful it was to see the miniature draft (maquette) early this year. The sculpture is going to look wonderful when it is erected in Stern Court, outside our new Flowers Science Centre. Thank you so much for your most generous donations. There is still time to support this appeal if you are able to. We will of course report back when the bronze bust is finished and in situ!
