magdalene IMPACT REPORT 2023–24
From the Master
It is a great pleasure to introduce this year’s Impact Report. It has been a very good year for the College and once again the generosity of so many of our Members has made a great contribution to the successes which we have enjoyed.
Examination results this year were some of the best we have ever had, with just under 30% of students obtaining First Class Honours. 88% of our graduating cohort achieved either a First or an Upper Second. While congratulations go to the students, these results would not have been
achieved without high quality teaching and pastoral support.
The donations, which so many of you have made, have allowed us to employ a fulltime Head of Student Health and Wellbeing. The bursaries, to which numerous alumni have contributed, have relieved some of the financial burdens faced by our students. A major benefaction has made it possible for us to recruit a new Fellow in History, and the Dias Law Fund has been established to support a Law Fellow.
Extra-curricular activities have also flourished this year. The choir had a very successful tour of Bosnia-Herzegovina, performing in both Sarajevo and Mostar. 31 students were awarded Blues or Half Blues, more than we have had for many years. MBC1 moved up to second place on the river in both the Lents and the Mays.
The New Library has enabled us to embark upon an ambitious, and muchneeded, programme for the restoration of the Pepys Building. Now that the celebrations marking the 300th anniversary of the Pepys Library’s arrival at the College are complete, the collection will move into temporary accommodation, and work on the building will begin. There has been a wonderful response from Members of the College to support the restoration project.
I look forward to welcoming a new cohort of students and to seeing old friends at the various reunion events. Meanwhile, my warmest thanks to all those of you who have supported the College during the past year. Floreat Magdalenae!
Sir Christopher Greenwood, Master
From the Senior Bursar
COLLEGE FINANCES AND INVESTMENTS
Looking back over the financial year of 2023–24 (1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024) it’s surprising to see that overall income has slightly declined by 0.7%, whilst expenditure has increased by a modest 1.3%, when compared to the previous financial year. This is unexpected within the context of an inflationary environment.
The College has a relatively diversified income stream which helps to protect the College if there are factors impacting a particular income source. It’s been pleasing to see our continued improvement in conference income after the pandemic, and endowment income is growing, although donation income is lower
following an exceptional year last year. Revenue from tuition fees, research and Member catering has been very stable. Underlying expenditure is growing significantly due to the high cost of maintenance to buildings, and labour costs continue to increase at a pace. An unusual and large (c. £1m) accounting credit to expenditure, arising from the Higher Education’s pension scheme (USS) moving back into financial balance, is artificially reducing underlying costs. The cost of delivering College services remains high, and whilst the intention is to maintain all services, we try to do so in an efficient manner whilst incrementally growing income. The College has continued to invest in teaching and student mental health and welfare throughout the year.
The College endowment had performed relatively well by the end of the financial year, with its financial (securities) assets growing. However, the commercial property which the College owns (and is about half of the total endowment) has been more constrained by a sluggish economy and a weak office market sector. Investment income performed well overall
and the size of the endowment, including new donation capital, increased from £101m to £104m at the end of the year.
The College’s operational finances, as with all universities, have been difficult and it has proven tough for us to grow income at a pace to match the unavoidable cost increases, in particular labour costs. The College’s revenue (unrestricted) financial account is still in deficit, and although this is forecasted to improve a little, it will remain, nevertheless, negative in the short term.
Plans and preparations in readiness for the start of the works on the Pepys Restoration Project have been advancing during the year, with the detailed design work being undertaken and listed building consent obtained from the local authorities. The College has managed the partial decanting of the building, and with specialist plans now made for the temporary relocation of the Pepys Library itself, the move is ready and due for autumn 2024. New electrical infrastructure has been installed and is available for when the project starts next summer on the ground.
COLLEGE INCOME
College revenue includes income from its long-term endowment, tuition fees, provision of residential accommodation to students, commercial conferences, and donations from Members. All together this amounted to £15m over the course of the 2023–24 financial year.
College income was flat overall when compared to 2022–23 but it should be noted that this sum does include £0.23m of capital donations for investment in the endowment. Tuition fee income has been largely stable throughout. Income from student rents has increased as has the demand for College catering which resulted in large increases for these two income streams. Conference activity has almost doubled and was £1.2m, although the pace of future increase is likely to slow. Our total philanthropic income from Members was again hugely positive this year and we are enormously grateful for the continued generosity. Support was received for student welfare, the Magdalene Bursary Scheme, buildings, and gardens with a particular emphasis on the significant forthcoming restoration project of the Pepys Building.
In addition a generous research grant was received for the Centre of History and Economics, a small yet important institute based at Magdalene.
College Income for the Financial Year of 2023–24 (1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024)
Total: £15.08m
Student Rents, Member Catering and Conferences: £4.8m
Endowment Income: £4.4m
Tuition Fees and Research: £3.2m
Expendable Donations: £2.2m
Other: £0.25m
Capital Donations for Long Term Investment: £0.23m
COLLEGE EXPENDITURE
College expenditure increased to £13.64m and was 1.3% more than the previous year even with a c. £1m accounting adjustment credit from the sector’s pension scheme. Without this accounting adjustment, total expenditure would have been 8% higher. The College increased its spending on teaching, tutorial support and student welfare again and this is now £890,000. This reflects the emphasis on student support for the College community at Magdalene.
The costs of running the College estate have eased in the sense of energy prices falling but are still substantial in terms of maintenance costs and staffing. Catering costs grew again with strong demand from resident Members, some food price inflation and labour costs, and more summer conference activity requiring higher resource levels.
Although the pace of inflation has fallen back to more normal levels for food and commodity pricing, an ongoing tight labour market is keeping recruitment and retention costs high, and building works in Cambridge remain expensive. All of these factors are likely to continue to lead to growing expenditure for the College’s operational costs. This means that it will be necessary for the College to carefully and thoughtfully manage expenditure and protect our services for our students. The ongoing support of our Members is hugely appreciated as it helps us to navigate this challenging financial climate.

From the Development Director
The Pepys Restoration Project has been the focus of our fundraising activities this year as 2024 marks the 300th anniversary of the arrival of the Pepys Library at Magdalene in 1724.
Samuel Pepys, probably one of the best known of all the graduates of Magdalene, bequeathed to the College its greatest treasure – his library, a unique collection of 3,000 books and manuscripts, still preserved as he left it. He died in 1703, and by codicils added to his will, directed that his library be housed in the Pepys Building after the death of his heir and nephew, John Jackson.
The exact history of the building is unknown, and it remains full of puzzles. It is asymmetric and the back of the building is built to look like a Jacobean manor house, while the front is neo-classical and in Ketton stone, the only part of the College
not built in brick. And yet, the beauty of the Pepys Building with its freeze inscription ‘Bibliotheca Pepysiana 1724’ with Pepys’s arms and his motto Mens cujusque is est quisque (‘The mind’s the man’) painted above it, is as captivating today as it was when completed around 1700.
The Pepys Restoration Project is focussed on the careful sustainable renovation of the entire building; we have recently been granted planning permission, interior enabling work is underway and scaffolding will go up after the May Ball next year. Once completed in late summer 2026, the building will have a new entrance hall, new seminar and teaching rooms, a new lift and the Academic Office will have a new home in the left cloister.
We have already raised almost £3 million towards the cost of this important
£6.3 million project and with your help, we will be able to minimise the call on College Reserves to cover the shortfall. Samuel Pepys made three subscriptions to the building fund during his lifetime; should you choose to follow in his footsteps we will record your name in the Book of Benefactors for posterity.
You will find the list of our generous donors in this report, and we are hugely grateful to every Member and every Friend who chooses to make a gift. Your donations support our students, our teaching staff, our buildings, helps safeguard student welfare and mental health but more than anything, the impact of your philanthropy is felt everywhere in College. We are truly thankful.
Mrs Corinne Lloyd, Development Director

ENHANCING MAGDALENE BURSARIES
35 full undergraduate bursaries awarded
157 undergraduates have received financial support
In today’s challenging economic climate, many students face financial barriers to their academic aspirations. Magdalene addresses these challenges through our Enhanced Bursary programme.
The Cambridge Bursary Scheme provides up to £3,500 annually to eligible UK students from households earning under £62,215. However, Magdalene enhances this with an additional £2,000 per year for those qualifying for the full Cambridge Bursary. Students receive £5,500 in total, generously funded by Magdalene alumni committed to needs blind admission.
We are able to award many partial bursaries, significantly alleviating financial worries, enabling students to fully engage in academic and cultural life at Magdalene and Cambridge. This is made possible through the ongoing support of our alumni.
We invite alumni and supporters to contribute to the Magdalene Bursary Scheme. Your donations provide crucial financial aid, empowering future generations of Magdalene Members. Scan the QR code or visit our website to support Magdalene bursaries today.
STUDENT HEALTH AND WELLBEING
The Health and Wellbeing Service at Magdalene is dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of our students through early intervention, preventative measures and providing a comprehensive wellbeing activities programme. Students can come to the service with any issue impacting their wellbeing, whether it’s mental health, physical health, disability-related or anything else.
We offer Freshers appointments, which are brief check-ins with our service, including initial intake assessments to evaluate individual needs, discuss mental health and counseling options, and create a plan for moving forward. Additionally, we provide wellbeing appointments for mental health advice, emotional support, or simply a listening ear for any concerns. Physical health appointments are also available for assessing and addressing physical health issues, minor injuries, and illnesses, as well as offering advice and ongoing support.
This year, over a third of our students have used the Health and Wellbeing Services. We supported students with a wide range of mental and physical health conditions, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, neurodivergent challenges, and various physical ailments. Our team effectively assessed students’ needs, managed complex cases, provided short-term evidence-based interventions, and coordinated referrals to appropriate services.
Our Health and Wellbeing Service promotes the support available through wellbeing newsletters, email reminders, posters, and in collaboration with the JCR and MCR. These communications encourage regular self-care, participation in wellbeing activities, and prompt students to seek help when needed.
In addition to providing individual support, the Health and Wellbeing Service facilitates various in-College wellbeing activities.
Tea-at-Three has become a weekly fixture on Wednesdays, encouraging students to rest, reset, and connect informally in the New Library social space. Attendance consistently exceeds 40 students each week.
Weekly Yoga sessions are available throughout the term, known for improving flexibility, enhancing self-awareness, and reducing stress. These classes are well attended, with up to 20 students per session.
Regular ‘How Art Thou’ workshops are offered to students who find it challenging to articulate or express their feelings. This method helps alleviate symptoms of distress, provides a way to express emotions, and improves general wellbeing. Many participants have reported feeling more connected to themselves, experiencing reduced stress, and gaining emotional clarity.
During Easter Term, in collaboration with the JCR and MCR Welfare Officers and the Dean of Chapel, wellbeing activities were enhanced to support students in managing stress and exam tension. Activities included an Owl and Raptors event, Pet Therapy sessions with Hattie the Cocker Spaniel, sunset walks, and welfare rounders.
The Owl and Raptors event was a standout success, attracting over 150 students and staff.
To monitor success and gather feedback the Health and Wellbeing Service have implemented surveys and routine check-ins, supplemented by anecdotal insights from JCR and MCR Welfare Officers. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with students expressing appreciation for the service’s responsiveness to their needs.
Looking ahead to the upcoming academic year, we will continue offering physical and mental health appointments with a focus on expanding the physical health programme. This will include initiatives such as termly health checks, gym inductions and a couch to 5K challenge.
We will focus on psychoeducation sessions and spotlight topics such as reducing alcohol intake and women’s health awareness. Popular activities such as Yoga, Tea-at-Three and the art workshops will carry on as we remain focused on improving the health and wellbeing of our students.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS
When I graduated from Magdalene in 1970 with a degree in Agricultural Science, I was offered a scholarship by the Ministry of Overseas Development (ODM) to study and teach at Makerere University in Uganda. I jumped at the chance and spent two fascinating years researching interactions between soya bean genetics and the environment.
I returned to Cambridge in 1973 to finalise my thesis. As the ODM scholarship only covered my time in Uganda, I had to seek alternative means of support. Fortunately, I was granted bursaries by both the University’s A.J. Keith Fund and Magdalene College’s Coulthurst Fund, and as a result, I was able to complete my doctorate.
After leaving Cambridge in 1974, I worked in Lebanon on an international R&D programme to genetically improve local crops for smallholders in West Asia and North Africa, collecting a diverse range of seeds from several countries. These were stored in a genebank in Aleppo, Syria. In 1991, I became head of the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute in Rome and became heavily involved in helping genebanks in developing countries to better conserve local crops. With the growing climate crisis, the vast range of genetic variants now stored in such genebanks worldwide is proving invaluable to help ensure that there will be sufficient food long into the future. I led the creation of an international financing mechanism to support genebanks in perpetuity. It currently has an endowment of approximately £250 million and plans to reach £700 million by 2030. Additionally, I helped establish the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which now safeguards 1.2 million crop varieties.
Since leaving Rome I have helped establish a backup seed store to safeguard duplicates of all the world’s collections. The facility, known as the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, is located in the permafrost, 800km from the North Pole. It currently conserves samples of 1.2 million different crop varieties.
Earlier this year I was awarded the World Food Prize for 2024, together with a colleague, for “leadership in preserving and protecting the world’s heritage of crop biodiversity and mobilizing this critical resource to defend against threats to global food security.” The $500,000 prize money, split between us, has provided an opportunity both to help expand critical genetic diversity conservation work, and to recognise the student grants that set me up in my career.
I plan to donate part of the prize money to Magdalene to assist PhD students through ‘Top Up Bursaries’, in the same way that I was supported by the Coulthurst Fund more than 50 years ago.

TELEPHONE CAMPAIGN
Magdalene’s annual Telephone Campaign took place after Lent Term, with a team of student callers reaching out to alumni around the world.
We were once again delighted that our Members took the time to engage with our students, hear the latest Magdalene updates, and generously donate in support of the College’s priorities.
As 2024 marks the 300th anniversary of the Pepys Library’s arrival at Magdalene, it felt fitting to make the Pepys Restoration Project the focus of this year’s campaign. We are deeply grateful to our Members for pledging nearly £110,000 towards the restoration of this unique and significant Grade I listed building. Other donors chose to support different areas of College life, including student welfare, mental health, and undergraduate and postgraduate support.
The Telephone Campaign is a crucial element of the College’s regular fundraising efforts. Over the course of just under two weeks, our callers connected with more than 1,000 alumni across 40 countries, raising an impressive £201,796! We are incredibly grateful for the time you took to speak with our students, who greatly enjoyed the chance to hear your Magdalene stories and engage with so many Members. Thank you!

Access and Outreach
During the 2023–24 academic year, Magdalene’s Schools Liaison Officer, Outreach Fellows, and Student Ambassadors have continued to deliver and expand our annual programme of access and outreach events.
The Schools Liaison Officer developed and maintained relationships with secondary schools in Magdalene’s Link Areas of Merseyside, North Wales, and the Isle of Man, as well as coordinating in-person and virtual programmes for prospective applicants from across the UK.
Here are just a few examples of programmes we have been proud to deliver in the last year:

Magdalene’s Schools Liaison Officer spent eight weeks of the 2023–24 academic year visiting schools and students in Merseyside, North Wales, and the Isle of Man. They delivered 68 workshops in schools, covering topics including A Level subject choices and the UCAS application process, engaging a total of 3,700 students. Such workshops have also contributed to launching the Welsh Government’s Seren programme for the 2023–24 academic year, with over 250 students in attendance at the Seren North Wales Conference in November 2023. Engagement with in-region workshops has been further increased through collaborations with projects including HE+ Merseyside and Aspire Liverpool.
“The session was expertly delivered and engaging for the students. It provoked them to think about what they need to research in the coming months ahead of applying to universities. Thank you!”
Head of Sixth Form, Secondary School in Liverpool
“The Study Skills and Critical Thinking workshop gave me a really useful insight on how to approach any form of application, whether it is for a university or a job, as well as structuring revision effectively.”

ARMSTRONG ARTS AND HUMANITIES ESSAY COMPETITION
190 Year 12 students submitted essays to the Armstrong Arts and Humanities Essay Competition in April 2024.
Magdalene Fellows, Dr Simon Ravenscroft (2018), Professor Silke Mentchen (2005), Dr Hannah Marshall (2022), and Mr Alistair Mills (2006), set a series of essay questions encompassing the range of arts and humanities subjects offered at the University of Cambridge.
First Prize was awarded to Miss Ciara Potter from Bristol, for her essay A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: What Is The Place Of Studying Texts In A World That Is Increasingly Dependent On Visual Communication?
The winners and their guests were invited to a prize-giving ceremony hosted by the Master in September 2024.
VISITS TO MAGDALENE
We regularly welcome school groups to Magdalene, where students learn about the university application process, experience the academic environment, and meet our Magdalene Student Ambassadors.
“I really enjoyed researching and writing my essay for the competition. Thank you for the opportunity to take part!”
Armstrong Arts and Humanities Essay Competition Entrant
In the last year, we have hosted 1,127 students from 47 schools for visit days at Magdalene, and partnered with The Brilliant Club Scholars Programme and the Cambridge Physics Experience to enable as many students as possible to visit Cambridge.
In July 2024, Magdalene proved popular with visitors to the University Open Days, during which over 3,500 prospective applicants visited the College over two days. Visitors had the opportunity to tour the College, meet Admissions Tutors, Directors of Studies, and Student Ambassadors to learn more about undergraduate study at Magdalene.
STEM SMART
Each August, Magdalene hosts 20 STEM SMART students for a four-day residential. The STEM SMART initiative provides subjectspecific support for talented state school students through online learning, weekly tutorials, and residentials in Cambridge. The students attended academic sessions at the Cavendish Laboratory, during which they engaged with problem-solving activities relating to Maths, Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering. Throughout the visit, the students were able to talk to and ask questions of Magdalene Student Ambassadors, who shared their insights about living and studying at Magdalene.
“The students were so inspired and had found out lots of useful information. We really appreciated your hospitality, including the accommodation and food. It was overall an invaluable experience.”
Teacher, attended Open Day with Year 12 students
“The best residential event I have ever experienced! This week has solidified my determination to apply to Cambridge and be more active in STEM SMART supervisions.”

Your Legacy, Our Future
The College has been most fortunate to receive bequests from Members for centuries, in fact our Legacy Society, the Buckingham Society, is named in honour of Henry Stafford, the 2nd Duke of Buckingham, a past benefactor who chose to make a gift in his will to Magdalene.
Legacy gifts, however modest, can really make the difference to the College and to the lives of our students.
The College embarked on the Future Foundations Campaign in March 2017 and we are delighted with the generous response of our Members who supported their College. However, it is humbling to note that we received just short of £4 million in bequests during the Campaign and these legacies played an important part in realising our vision for Magdalene including the New Library which received over £1.5 million of these bequests.
We are indebted to the Members who choose to leave a bequest in support of the College. Each bequest reflects personal reasons, relationships, and connections

with Magdalene, and we sincerely appreciate the affection shared for the College through this meaningful gesture.
More recently, the position of Head of Student Health and Wellbeing at the College has been endowed, thanks to the generosity of Members. The final step in securing this role was made possible by a generous bequest of £60,000.
Members and friends of Magdalene who choose to make a bequest to the College are invited to join the Buckingham Society.
The Master hosts a biennial luncheon for all members of the society in early June.
