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 ‘Mind' 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:

Mind is a charity that campaigns vigorously to create a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all - a society where people with experience of mental distress are treated fairly, positively and with respect. Mind listen and make sure their voices are heard by those who influence change. They demand higher standards in mental health care and challenge discrimination wherever it occurs.

The aims of the organisation are to:

Provide accessible services to anyone from Swindon who experiences emotional distress

Reduce stigma and discrimination

Raise awareness of mental health issues.

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.
