A Giving Day is an opportunity for those associated with The Royal Hospital School all over the world, to unite to make a lasting difference to the lives of current and future pupils.
During this 36 hour online fundraising challenge, on 26 – 27 June 2024, we are aiming to raise as much as possible to increase our bursary provision. The Royal Hospital School is committed to providing life-changing opportunities through bursaries. 2022 saw the launch of our Centennial Bursary Campaign, where, with your support, we will transform the lives of 100 children by 2033, the centenary of the Royal Hospital School’s move to Holbrook.
Your gift today will enable pupils from all backgrounds to come to The Royal Hospital School and make the most of their time here irrespective of their financial circumstances.
All gifts, whatever size they may be, add up. Having many donors encourages others to support us too. So, whatever you can give, you can be sure that your contribution is effective and greatly appreciated.
Gifts made during this period will go even further than usual. Thanks to the support of our match and challenge donors there is the opportunity for your donation to be matched or further donations unlocked through special donor challenges that will unlock additional funds.
We want to make it easy for you to participate in our Giving Day, and gifts can be given a variety of ways on the day:

Want to make an even bigger difference? Help spread the word by becoming an ambassador.
An ambassador is an individual who chooses to help support us in the lead up to the Giving Day and on the day itself, by acting as a ‘digital’ volunteer.
Don’t worry, if you sign up to be an ambassador for us there is no minimum requirement. All that we ask is that you help us to spread the word about our Giving Day by sharing the page on social media and posting the occasional updates that we send out throughout the day. As much as we try to tell all of our community about the amazing work that’s going on, it’s not always easy to reach everyone. By asking our community to help us, we can reach many more people.
Yes, we’re using a secure, off-site payment processor called Stripe to process our credit card transactions.
The minimum online gift amount is £5. There’s no maximum donation, and no limit on the impact you can make.
Yes! So long as you have paid as much Income Tax and/or Capital Gains tax as the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in that tax year, the RHSCT can reclaim the basic tax rate (25%) on your gift, with no extra cost to you. So your donation of £100 will actually be worth £125 with the Gift Aid.
UK: If you’re in the UK and eligible for Gift Aid, The Royal Hospital School Charitable Trust can claim 25% back in tax from your donation. If you’re a Higher Rate Tax Payer (40% and above), you can claim tax back on your charitable donations at the end of the tax year. The Royal Hospital School Charitable Trust is a registered charity, the HMRC Charities Reference Number is EW61541.
USA: Your gift is tax-deductible - when making your gift, just select ‘Donate in USD’. You will receive an email confirmation and tax receipt.
