WHAT IS A GIVING DAY?

The Purcell School Giving Day is a 24-hour celebration of community, music and giving. Taking place on 11th and 12th December 2025, this special event invites our entire school community - students, staff, parents, alumni and supporters - to come together in support of The Purcell School Bursary Fund.

At the heart of the Giving Day is a 24-hour concert with performances by students from all year groups. Musicians from all departments, from Strings to Jazz, will perform classical, commercial, chamber music and everything in between, continuously for 24 hours. We will also have additional fundraising activities on the day involving our academic departments.

WHY?

Our mission is simple but transformational. To raise as much as possible to support students with access to a world-class musical education. Fundraising helps us provide essential training for our remarkable young musicians and provides support for families in financial need.

The overall aim is not just to raise vital funds, but to create a culture of philanthropy within the School and highlight the importance of the School’s Bursary Fund.

Thanks to a generous donor, your donation will be matched £1 for £1 up to the value of £10,000, doubling your gift to the Bursary Fund!
