MCS Fundraising for Mustardseed 21-22, 15 February 2022
Mustardseed Arts and Educational Trust is building a school in Sentema, Uganda. Our mission is to provide an inspirational and practical education to the young children in our care, many of whom will be vulnerable or impoverished.

Story

On Friday 24 June - Founders Day - MCS pupils and staff are walking 14.80 km to raise money in support of Mustardseed School, our partner school in Uganda.

The challenging four-to-five hour route will take our walkers through Port Meadow, Wolvercote, University Parks and Magdalen College grounds before finishing on School Field. 

Mustardseed's mission is to provide an inspirational and practical education for young people, encouraging them to flourish and prosper in Uganda and the wider world. 

MCS has a long history of partnership and collaboration with charities close to our heart, and we are delighted to continue our important work in this area. 

On Founders Day 2022, donations will be directed primarily towards bursaries for local children who would otherwise be unable to benefit from attending the school. 

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of OW Sir Vernon Ellis (1966), if each MCS pupil were to raise just £35, we could send more than 100 children to Mustardseed for an entire year. 

Thank you for your generous support.

If you would like to set up a monthly donation, you can do this on the charity's main page: https://www.justgiving.com/mustardseedarts-education. Please let us know by email (reception@mcsoxford.org) if you do, so that we can ensure it is match-funded.
