Long Ducker is a festival of sporting events in which participants are sponsored to raise money for charity. In 2024, money raised will be divided between Lumina (the main charity), The Harrow Club and the School's Shaftesbury Enterprise partners.

We have elected to support Lumina as our main recipient this year: they will receive half of the money raised. Lumina is a transformative collaboration amongst like-minded schools that enables young people in care, a group at significant educational disadvantage, to achieve their potential. Lumina provides personalised, one-to-one online tutoring and mentorship, fostering academic success, building self-esteem and creating a network of support for vulnerable students – all on a pro-bono basis by teachers in the community and at no cost to young people, carers or local authorities. A number of our own beaks volunteer their time to deliver Lumina tutoring. The support we will give them will allow Lumina to scale-up operations significantly in the coming year to change the lives of more young people.

A quarter of the funding will go to The Harrow Club working to provide some of the most vulnerable young people in London with accessible and high-quality opportunities that will enable them to maximise their life chances and enhance their personal development. The final 25% will be given to Shaftesbury Enterprise partners such as Harrow Carers and local schools.

Harrow Development Trust acts as the collecting point for Long Ducker proceeds and donations.
