The Langley Foundation Launch Evening Saturday 17 March (01 February 2012)
As you will know, Durham School has recently formed The Langley Foundation which is a registered Charity and named after our School’s founder, Cardinal Thomas Langley. The purpose of the Foundation is to raise funds for the provision of means-tested bursary assistance to parents of pupils, from disadvantaged backgrounds, wishing to join Durham School. This will allow us to broaden access to outstanding education to pupils regardless of their family circumstances. Through offering up to 100% bursaries we will be assisting those pupils who, without this financial support, could not realistically access the school. We will be creating truly life changing opportunities for these children.
To formally launch the Foundation we are hosting a Gala Evening which is to take place Saturday 17th March 2012. This promises to be an amazing evening and we are delighted to welcome our Guest of Honour and speaker for the evening, Ian Hogg, OD School House 1951 – 56. Ian has appeared in many television and film roles including classic serials such as Bleak House and David Copperfield. He is best known for his lead role in the BBC’s Rockliffe’s Babies and its follow-up Rockcliffe’s Folly. Ian has regularly performed leading roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company. We are overjoyed to be welcoming Ian back to the School on such a special evening.
Alongside this article you will find details of our Langley Foundation Launch Evening, which I do hope you would like to be a part of. You can get involved either by purchasing a ticket and attending the evening, or donating a raffle or auction prize (of course your name will be mentioned prior to the item being auctioned). You may wish to advertise your business at the event in our programme or be our key sponsor for the evening. Whichever option you may decide to choose, please do get in touch with the Foundation office for further information. Tickets are anticipated to be highly sought after and will therefore be allocated on a first come first served basis.
We are so very enthusiastic for the Foundation’s future, but most importantly for the future of the potential bursary recipients that could benefit from the Foundation’s assistance. We hope you would like to join us and be part of the Langley Foundation, making a real difference in children’s lives. Knowing that your assistance will result in securing a fantastic education and opportunity for a child, and that your contribution will change a child’s future for the greater good, might be amongst the most lasting investments one can make.
