Story

Lord Wandsworth College is set to celebrate it's first 100 years! Sternians (alumni) 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 and really hope you will support me.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.

Having recently attended the centenary foundation today at the college and hearing firsthand from past and current pupils of LWC, what life changing differences it’s really made to them ........blew me away. 

Emotional accounts how at young tender ages children have formed lifelong friendships at the college and have been given endless opportunities to grow into amazing individuals, conquering and achieving. 

Enclosed is a 'YouTube' link hearing directly from students past and present on how the Foundation programme has changed their lives. Grab a cuppa and please watch.

Even before I knew the walk was taking place I knew I wanted to make a difference with the foundation, this was an ideal opportunity for me to take on a new challenge but really see the difference my part can make.


I’m genuinely excited by the challenge,  I can’t wait to fund raise and spread the word and how amazing the foundation is at 
Lord Wandsworth College.
