Each year a number of families will experience unforeseen financial difficulties beyond their control; be it redundancy, chronic or life-limiting illness, or untimely death.
At a time of uncertainty, parents want to provide stability for their children, but their financial situation may prevent them from doing so.
The Hardship Fund ensures that life at school goes on for the affected pupils and donations can support the costs of Retreats, uniforms, or educational trips.
One anonymous donor supported The Hardship Fund to ensure that one child would be able to attend their Retreat:
“It’s so important, during these formative teenage years, for young people to be able to be included and be treated the same as their peers; after all these experiences are what make lifelong memories.”
