Charities

Our charity efforts directly benefit both the specific charities that we focus on as well as raising pupils' awareness of the needs around them. This encourages all involved to develop as considerate citizens with a strong sense of responsibility in society.

Our charity work has a benefit to the community, raises the boys’ awareness of the needs of those around them and encourages them to develop as considerate citizens with a strong sense of their responsibility in society.

Each year, our College community raises over £40,000 for our Charity of the Year, as well as for other well-known causes such as Festive Jumper Day and ‘Movember’.

For 2024-25, our Charity of the Year is Spring Community Hub (SCH), a local charity in Camberwell that provides crisis support services, including holiday and after-school provision, a food bank, and a social supermarket. We are proud of the close ties we’ve built with SCH, welcoming their leadership team to the College and providing opportunities for pupils to visit the Hub and engage with their invaluable work through volunteering.

When selecting our Charity of the Year, we aim to strike a balance between local and international support. In 2023-24, we were proud to support The Uganda School Project, an educational charity founded by two OAs in 2016.

One of the most inspiring aspects of charitable fundraising at the College is the enthusiasm and initiative shown by the pupils. In response to growing demand, we’ve launched Impact 500, a programme designed for pupils who are eager to learn more about and become involved with specific social and environmental causes. Impact 500 consists of two main components: a research project followed by an enterprise initiative aimed at raising awareness and promoting involvement. Since its launch in 2024, over 100 pupils have participated in the programme. A few examples of charities and causes that have been supported through Impact 500 include:
