We are pleased to announce the launch of the ‘Pangbourne College Community Fund’. The fund offers grants of up to £500 to enable charities and organisations to run a project, activity or event which will enrich educational opportunities for children and young adults in the local area. Our pupils and the wider community will raise money for the fund through various fundraising initiatives throughout the year.

Formerly known as 'The Centenary Fund', previous recipients of the grant include Pangbourne Adventure Dolphin and Pangbourne Youth Football Club. It will also continue to support our international partnership with the Nabugabo Community Learning Centre.

The Pangbourne College Community Grants Committee is now inviting applications for grants which must be submitted via the online application form by 19 May 2023. Applications will be considered at a meeting of the Pangbourne College Community Grant Committee in early June 2023.

Neil Walne, Bursar explains, "I’m so pleased to see this fund being opened up to applicants from the local community. We really hope the awarded grants will bring projects to life that will benefit educational development of children, in the broadest sense to include social, personal and character development, which underpin all that we do here at Pangbourne College."

Thomas Garnier, Head comments, "Schools are about people and Pangbourne is proudly a ‘people place’, home to a team of passionate educators with a deep commitment to its pupils. Our pupils appreciate this privilege and understand that not everyone has access to the same opportunities. Through their fundraising endeavours, our pupils will be able to ‘give something back’ and will see how their efforts can positively impact children and young adults in our local community."
