As we lead up to the return of our BryGiving fundraising campaign, Director of Development Victoria Fangen Hall, reflects on its importance and shares how last year’s generous donations continue to benefit the entire School…
In 2024, we raised an impressive £170,000 through our BryGiving campaign. This wonderful result was made possible by the generosity of our entire community including parents, OBs, staff and friends. Various fun events and activities took place over two days, including a pupil versus staff boat race, and the Head’s Forfeit, activated once we hit 150 donors and in which Richard Jones bravely sat submerged in an ice bath for over two minutes.
The majority of funds raised went to Bryanston’s Foundation, which supports transformational bursaries, including pupils that join us via the Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation, which collaborates with schools such as ours to offer fully funded bursary places to children most in need. We were also able to fund other projects, including a new digital and moveable hockey scoreboard, new swings in the playground at Bryanston Prep (see video below), and the refurbishment of the A3 social space. A new B social space is also being refurbished with the funds raised, to include new seating areas and updated lighting. None of these upgrades would have been possible without the collective efforts of everyone who supported BryGiving 2024.
Building on the success of last year, we are excited to be running our 2025 BryGiving campaign across Thursday 3 and Friday 4 July. We hope to replicate and even exceed the positive impact of last year’s campaign, focusing on projects that will once again enhance our pupils’ school experience. Driven by our Development team, BryGiving unites the whole Bryanston community at the end of the academic year. Funds will be raised through match-funding and challenges set around specific projects, demonstrating what our community can achieve when we all come together. More information to follow!
We look forward to welcoming you all back for another BryGiving 2025.
