Giving Day was on the 7th & 8th November and we just wanted to give a massive thank you to everyone who got involved. From watching our videos, liking our posts, sharing our stories, supporting our students to those who found a way to donate, from small to large gifts, we thank you. 

We were so overwhelmed and delighted to raise over £350,000 from 468 donors, blowing our targets out of the water. You did that. .

Giving Day is all about promoting the mission of the 500 Campaign, raising funds, increasing donors, and engaging the whole school community.

As well as the last 36 hours being an opportunity to support the 500 Campaign it has prompted a number of comments and enabled us to reconnect with many within the BGS global community. We have really enjoyed hearing and sharing stories from our pupils, OBs, staff, friends, and supporters. It is a reminder of the long history of support that BGS has provided to individuals and families and my hope is that this will continue long into the future. 

If you missed the opportunity to make your gift, you can still do so via the Giving Day website and all that remains in the meantime is for us to say once again a heartfelt thank you – your support during Giving Day will help us to change lives through bursaries at BGS. 

Thank you so much for everything.
