‘I am delighted to share that as part of our 175th celebrations, Bradfield College will host its very first Giving Day  from 25 – 26 June 2025, culminating in the 175 Gala , a spectacular celebration of Bradfield’s legacy and community. This 36-hour fundraising event is dedicated to our 175 Bursary Campaign, ensuring Bradfield can continue to provide transformative educational opportunities to talented and deserving pupils from a broad range of backgrounds.

Please take a moment to watch our short video to see the impact that our means-tested Bursaries have for the College, our donors and of course our talented Award Holders. 

Join Us to Honour the Past and Empower the Future 

What is Bradfield Giving Day?  

Giving Day is a whole community event where Bradfieldians unite over 36 hours to take part in on and offline challenges. Hosted on our Giving Day website, as the clock ticks down, thanks to the generosity of our Challenge fund donors, more funds will be added to our total. It’s an opportunity for parents, alumni, staff, former staff, students, and friends of the College to join forces and help make a difference to the lives of our current and future Bursary Award holders.  

Why are we running Giving Day? 

Bradfield doesn’t benefit from an historical endowment and our means-tested Bursaries are funded through the Bradfield Foundation from the generous philanthropy of our Bradfield community, and fee income the College chooses to sacrifice. With recent political changes and financial pressures, it is now more important than ever that we protect and grow this fund to build on our proud tradition of inclusivity and inspire future generations of Bradfieldians to flourish  

Help Us Make a Difference  

This Giving Day honours the past by celebrating Bradfield’s 175-year history of providing means- tested Bursaries to help nurture talent and empower future generations. Our challenge is to reach 175 donations to celebrate this milestone. Every gift—no matter the size—will move us closer to this target and make a lasting impact. If you are unavailable on Giving Day, the good news is that you can make a gift at any time via the link below

As a regular donor myself to the Bradfield Bursary Fund myself, I hope you’ll join me and others in supporting this meaningful initiative in whatever way you can. Please mark your calendars for Giving Day on 25 – 26 June, keep visiting our Giving Day website and Bradfield College instagram to see our progress over the coming week and together, we can make Bradfield’s 175 Giving Day unforgettable.’

Warm regards,
