Massive thanks to our fantastic Queen's community for getting behind this year's Giving Day so generously. Together, we raised more than £76,000 over 36 hours, with donations coming from supporters all over the globe. Every penny will go towards creating new opportunities for young people at Queen's. This year gifts supported more bursaries for brilliant children, and the Queen's Wish List (which included a golf simulator among other things). We look forward to telling you more about the impact of your donations very soon.

Big thanks are also due to Kate Michaels (OQ 2017) and Maddie Beaumont (OQ 2016) for giving up their time to come along and judge this year's Great Queen's Bake Off. Sales of the bakes topped £600 this year - everyone loves a good cake! Florence Broderick (OQ 2009), Fay Graham (OQ 2020) and Mike Gough (OQ 1976) also lent their faces and voices to the campaign this year, sharing their 'why' stories. Thank you again to everyone who got involved.

Giving Day 2026 may be over, but you can still get involved and support your old school. Explore the Queen's College Connected site to find out more.
