Story
Every 5 years, Marlborough College pupils undertake a 20 mile sponsored walk in aid of a range of charities. Each House at Marlborough will be supporting 3 causes for this event. 50% of what we raise as a House will go towards our chosen charity and the other 50% will be divided between the two charities chosen by the school.
Our charity rep, in conjunction with the whole house, has chosen to support ‘Trinity Hospice' which we view as a great cause. Please donate generously because everything we raise will go to three amazing causes.
When donating please put the full name of the pupils who you are sponsoring in the comments box. This is so that we can get an idea of who is raising the most money.
Below is a summary of each charity:
Trinity Hospice's skilled, compassionate end of life care helps patients, and their families and carers, to regain the confidence they need to live every moment. They care for people in our central and south west London community with many different types of illness and provide this fantastic service for free.
Lord’s Taverners is the official charity for recreational cricket and the UK’s leading youth cricket and disability sports charity whose objective is to 'give young people, particularly those with special needs, a sporting chance’.
Kempson-Rosedale Enterprise Trust is in memory of Rupert Rosedale, who died in an avalanche on Ben Nevis, and Mr Kempson who took part in Everest expeditions in the 1950s. Both were former Marlborough college teachers and great climbers. It allows students to carry out projects that fall within these two exceptional men’s interests.
