The Arts Fund
The Wellington College Arts Fund is powered by the generosity of parents and visitors attending art, drama, music and dance events at the College. The funds are allocated each term to local schools that are establishing arts projects of their own.
Since 2020 , WCAF has donated over £150,000 towards arts projects including:
- Technical equipment such as sound and lighting
- New musical instruments and lessons for state school pupils
- Supporting drama productions
- Art resources and equipment
- Staff training and pupil support workshops
The average donation value is £1,000. If this could boost your arts project, please email thearts@wellingtoncollege.org.uk
Local Schools Fund
We disburse some of the proceeds from our commercial activities via an annual grants competition for the schools located within 5.5 miles driving distance of the College. Headteachers tell us that the projects funded have brought joy to their school; increased pupil pride in their school; and reduced everyday frustrations for children and staff.
Eligible schools will receive an invitation to participate in the spring.
The Wellington Crowthorne Trust
This independent charity has a shared history with the College, being funded from the 1978 sale of buildings belonging to Old Wellingtonians. It is majority governed and managed by Wellington staff. The Trust makes donations towards the cost of school trips so that young people without family resources are able to join in. Applications are welcome from schools in Crowthorne, Finchampstead, Sandhurst and Wokingham Without.
For more information, please contact crowthornetrust@wellingtoncollege.org.uk
