Take a seat, change a life

Help us provide a life-changing opportunity for a talented child by sponsoring a chair in the Old Library. Please support us so we can confirm a place for a child this year.

The RGS Foundation’s Changing Lives social mobility campaign raises money to provide bursaries for talented children whose potential is far greater than their financial means. Since its launch in 2014 the Changing Lives campaign has supported over 100 children at RGS.

There is much more work to do. This year we have received more applications for bursary places than ever before and, due to limited funds, we are unable to offer every deserving child a place.

That is why we are promoting the Seats of Learning initiative, offering our community the chance to sponsor a chair in the Old Library and capture your connection with the school for all time. We only have 26 chairs remaining, out of a total of 170. With match funding, this will provide 100% bursary for a disadvantaged child.

You can sponsor a chair for £300. Sponsorship entitles you to a personalised inscription on a solid brass disc on the back of the chair.  This can be used to commemorate associations with RGS in many ways, such as:

– an individual’s time at RGS e.g. ‘Jane Brown, Class of 2010’
– a special role e.g. ‘Fred Smith, RGS Governor 1984-1988’
– a family e.g. ‘Smith Family’

 

Sean Davey, Head of Foundation asks for your support:

“Please support this initiative and be part of a community effort to change a child’s life”

 

So, please take a seat! You can secure your sponsorship here – or click on the button to the right of this page.
