The Appeal
We have so far raised £850,000 towards
our £1 million Science Centre Appeal goal.
Help us make it a million by March! We are
counting on your donation to raise a further
£150,000. Donations are welcome in any
amount, and every donation is valued,
whatever its size.
There are a variety of ways to donate, and
to be recognised for your donation, if you so
choose. You can also honour or memorialise
an Abingdon School science teacher with
your donation. For those interested in
making a major gift to the Appeal, there are
sponsorship opportunities for donations of
£5,000 or more. Full details online at:
Supporting an important fundraising appeal
like this one can be very rewarding. A new
Science Centre will enable Abingdon’s
teachers to deliver an even better science
education for Abingdon boys. Other subjects
will bene"t too, when the current science
block is redeveloped for alternative uses.
Of course, if you are a parent of a boy in
Year 1 to Year 5, your son will bene"t from
the Science Centre the day it opens. And, if
you are a parent of an older boy, or even a
parent of a recent leaver, this is your chance
to fund a facility for future generations of
Abingdon boys in the same way that your
son enjoyed facilities that were funded by
previous generations of parents. Such is the
nature of giving within a School community.
