Supporter Update Issue 5: June 2022
Latest news from the Development Office
Foundation Day 2022 On Thursday 10th March the College was once again, able to come together in person and celebrate Foundation Day, after a 2-year break in festivities. It has become a cherished, annual tradition and an opportunity to pause, reflect and commend the positive impact the charity has had on the lives of The Foundation pupils and their families. It is also a chance for the College to thank all our donors and supporters, including our charitable trusts. We were joined by Foundation pupils, past and present, who courageously took to the stage to tell their stories of how they arrived at the College and to what extent LWC has supported and guided them over the years. Beth Jackson, our Foundation Prefect, was outstanding in hosting the proceedings and speaking so eloquently about her time at LWC and exciting plans for the future. We would also like to thank Sternian Foundationer Andy Baker, and LWC grandparent, Ken Carter who both spoke movingly of how The Foundation has supported them and their families.
Beth Jackson, Foundation Prefect And finally, it was our absolute pleasure to welcome guest speaker Leah Morgan from the Royal National Children’s Springboard Foundation, a charity which provides continued funding and support for several of our Foundation pupils.
New Cedrus Club Board Unveiled This month we have been delighted to reveal our brand-new donor board which can be found just outside the Headmaster’s office, aptly opposite one of our iconic Cedar trees. This beautiful glass installation has been designed to recognise, and give thanks to, our Cedrus Club Gold Members, whose names are proudly displayed. The Cedrus Club is one of three donor clubs at LWC. Cedrus Club members have generously donated in excess of £5,000 over the years, with gold members gifting £50,000 or more. We are so grateful for their incredible philanthropy, kindness, and unwavering support. We hope to add more names to the board each year, so if the generosity of these wonderful individuals inspires you give to The Foundation or one of our other College projects, then please do get in touch.
