We are excited to invite you to be a part of our inaugural 36-hour Giving Day! This special event brings together the entire Reading School community, students, alumni, parents, and friends, to support the future of our school. It marks the launch of our Beyond 900 campaign and is all about raising funds for critical projects, including a new Sports Hall, improved Sixth Form space, enhanced Expressive Arts facilities and advancing our Future Stories social mobility programme.

During Giving Day, our students will take on exciting challenges to fund initiatives that will not only transform their own educational experiences but also shape the opportunities for future students. 

How to Support in Advance:

We invite you to amplify your impact by contributing to our Match Fund for Giving Day or to a specific challenge undertaken by our students during the event. By supporting the Match Fund in advance, you help us double the impact of every gift. This creates a powerful incentive for donors to participate on the day, as their contribution is matched, effectively multiplying the overall impact on the cause.

If the Match Fund doesn’t align with your interests, consider our Challenge Fund instead. It allows you to support specific challenges undertaken by our students during Giving Day. Your donation will be directed towards reaching a particular goal, providing an additional boost to their efforts and amplifying the impact of your gift.

For details, please contact us at development@reading-school.co.uk.

How to Participate During the Event

The final details of these challenges are still being finalised, but they’re coming soon! We’ll be sharing them over social media and email throughout the 36 hours of Giving Day. Keep an eye out for the exciting challenges our students are taking on to raise funds for the Beyond 900 Fund. You can show your support by making a donation—links will be available soon!

Save the date: 26th - 27th March 2025.
