“I began supporting Assisted Places at BGS twenty years ago, as part of the Hoc Age Campaign.

I have supported 19 students so far, and over the years it has been gratifying to learn about their progress, getting to know them and being in a position to give them advice.

I am heartened that the Hoc Age campaign has inspired a new drive to grow bursary provision at BGS. Rewarding, hard-working and bright young people who wouldn’t be able to attend BGS without financial support has long been a cornerstone of all that makes our School great.

As a benefactor, I believe one hundred per cent that in making a gift, you can change a young person’s life.”
