Thank you for taking the time to read the 2024 Donor Impact Report.
In my role as Acting Master and a supporter of the College myself, I am delighted to have the opportunity to thank our community of donors and friends for supporting our vision of widening access to a Dulwich education to pupils from all backgrounds regardless of their financial backgrounds. Thanks to your support, Dulwich College was selected as a Finalist in the Contribution to Social Mobility category at the Independent Schools of the Year 2024 awards. My colleagues and I take great pride in being able to showcase the impact of the bursary programme here and the opportunities it affords our entire community. In 2010, there were 171 pupils in receipt of means-tested support, 17 of whom received full bursaries. In 2023-24, the College supported 216 boys with bursaries, 138 with fully-funded places. This achievement, amidst some of the most challenging and uncertain economic circumstances of the last years, is a real testament to you, our parents, OAs, and friends, and your shared commitment to social mobility. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, over £1.4 million was donated in 2023-24. As we continue our commitment, the potential imposition of VAT on school fees could create additional challenges in expanding our bursary programme, making your ongoing support more important than ever. Your contributions play a vital role in widening access through means-tested bursaries and supporting our partnership work in the local community. Whether through regular monthly gifts, establishing named bursaries, leaving a legacy, or generously offering your time and expertise, your support is truly making a difference and helping transform lives at Dulwich College. On behalf of the Governors, staff and pupils at Dulwich College, thank you. Without you, we would not be able to make such a difference.
