PHILANTHROPY AT QUEEN'S
As a charity, Queen’s College, London relies partially on philanthropic support and has done so throughout our long history. The Pfeiffer (now Somerville) Hall was developed entirely from donations in 1926, along with many named spaces throughout our historic home on Harley Street. The most recent addition to our space, The Thrive Centre, was half funded through generous donations from our community.
The Old Queens Society created the first hardship fund in 1951, which has now evolved into the Queen’s Bursary Fund supporting 10% of our pupils. Bursaries continue to be our priority, and we have expanded our Bursary provision to include the Music and Brass Bursary Fund, providing lessons and instruments, and the Trips Bursary Fund.
Thank you for considering making a donation in support of Queen’s. Whether it be towards the Queen’s Bursary Fund, Student Support such as the Music, Brass or Trips Fund or the reinvigoration of our historic buildings.
Thank you so much for considering a donation to Queen's College, London (registered charity number 312726). The generosity of our supporters is fundamental to enabling Queen's to meet the challenges of the future, to widen accessibility and to provide the very best learning opportunities and facilities for our pupils - both now and in the years to come.
