UPDATE: We are delighted to announce that the College has raised over £265,000 in pledges and donations over the next three years from the Campaign - a transformative total, that will allow the College to ensure that all of our students can make the most of their time at Christ's, both academically and outside the classroom. Thank you so much to everyone who participated, it will really change the lives of our students. If you would still like to make a gift, to be put towards the Campaign, you can use the links above.

This Easter Vacation, we will once again be running our annual Telephone Campaign, with our student callers taking to the phones to get in contact with you, our alumni. They will be asking about your time at Christ's and current work, whilst providing an update on College in these tough times.

As part of this, they will also ask you for your support for our Student Support Initiative. The funds provided allow Christ's to continue to attract and support the brightest students, regardless of their financial background.

With rising inflation and a decrease in real-term governmental support for students, it is vital that the College is able to support students in all aspects of their lives in Cambridge. In recent years the Student Support Initiative has been used for:

The College is committed to supporting our students outside the classroom, as well as in it, so in this year's Campaign we are launching a fundraising appeal for Christ's College Boat Club, a key part of the College's extracurricual offerings.

30 alumni giving £20 per month for five years will enable us to purchase a new eight!

W1 won blades in May Bumps in 2022, and the Headship in 2015, but in order to build upon the success of the Club donations are vital. The maintenance and renewal of our fleet can only be done with your support for this historic Christ's institution.

We are hoping to raise £230,000 from calling, a total that would allow us to continue expanding our support for the Christ's community; so please, consider making a donation when a student calls in the coming weeks. Your generosity now will make a real difference to the lives of our students for generations to come.

If you have any questions about the Campaign, or would like to schedule a time for your chat, please contact Sebastian Peel on 01223 768276, or by email at giving@christs.cam.ac.uk.
