Our Be the Change Calling Campaign seeks to promote the work of our bursary initiative.
This summer, a group of twelve dedicated Sixth Form students and recent Benenden leavers came together to participate in what has been for the past two years, a truly inspiring initiative: our Be the Change Calling Campaign.
Over a two-week period, they picked up the phone to call Seniors, Former Parents, and longstanding past staff members, promoting the work of our bursary initiative and seeking support via donations, raising an impressive £44,041.25 in pledges.
