How you can help

Work of Each For Weal Of All has been the cornerstone around which Bedales has evolved – everyone contributing towards a greater benefit. We really do mean it when we say ‘each donation really does make a difference’. And, to enable each donation to go that bit further, the School will match every £1 donated for the first 10 John Badley Foundation bursaries. The school will also add 75% of each contribution to the Sam Banks Memorial Pavilion (up to £45,000). When you add gift aid, which increases the value of your donation by 25%, your £100 could easily become £225. You can also claim back tax relief from the Inland Revenue.

To show you how any amount can help to transform the life of a young person, by giving them access to a Bedales education, we’ve got a few examples:

Regular Giving

To raise the equivalent of a day’s boarding at Bedales each year, in perpetuity (thorough the endowment fund), you would need to donate £13.70 per month over five years – and tick the Gift Aid box.

£10 per month donation for three years would raise funds for a year’s individual music lessons at Bedales every week including the hire of an instrument.

Five people making a commitment of £15 per month for three years would raise funds for one
term’s boarding at Dunhurst.
Six people donating £20 per month for three years would raise funds for one term’s boarding at Bedales.

As you can see, any amount does make a difference. We want the involvement of the entire Bedales community with this fundraising effort – if everyone gives an amount they can afford, the numbers soon add up.

Single Donations

If you would like to make a one-off gift to our appeals, you can do so here, at Justgiving.com. If you would rather send us a cheque, or CAF Voucher, it's just as easy to do that. Please download a donation form, and  make the cheque or voucher payable to Bedales Schools Development Trust and send it back to us at:

Bedales Schools Development Trust

A donation of £50 is equivalent to four individual dance lessons.

Six donations of £500 would fund one term boarding at Dunhurst.

A single donation of £1000 would fund one month boarding at Bedales

NB: All the amounts quoted include gift aid and a matched contribution by the school.

Direct support for a child:

Bedales is also seeking generous donors who might consider offering direct financial support for a student place, match funded with the school for the full period of education (eg. five years from 13+).

Make a Standing Order
