Story

Lord Wandsworth College is set to celebrate it's first 100 years! Sternians (alumni……that’s me!) and LWC parents are getting ready to trek across the Sahara Desert to help raise vital funds for the Lord Wandsworth Foundation. I have taken up this challenge, partly to give my new hip a good workout but mainly to give something back to the school that was so good for my development and gives children less fortunate than I was a really good chance in life. The LWC Foundation supports 50 children who have lost the support of one or both parents, generally through a bereavement, ensuring they can benefit from a transformation education in a safe, supportive boarding-school environment where they can thrive and reach their potential.If you agree, as I do, that supporting and enriching the lives of children during such a formative and vulnerable period in their life is a good thing, then please do lend me your support now as I prepare to trek across the Sahara.
