The Spirit of Giving at Tintern
As Tintern approaches its third Giving Day, I am reminded once again of the strength and generosity that define our community. Giving Day is more than a fundraiser; it is a celebration of the connections we share and the opportunities we can create together.
What I love most about Giving Day is that it’s never about pressure. My new role as Development Manager, is about discovering what people care about, listening to the stories of what they have loved, or continue to love about Tintern, and exploring how they might wish to leave a legacy for others. When someone’s personal story connects with a cause they truly believe in, generosity becomes not just an act, but a deeply fulfilling experience. Helping to transform that passion into life-changing opportunities for students is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
The benefits of Giving Day are far-reaching. Every gift is amplified through the support of our generous matching donors, ensuring that contributions go even further in providing scholarships and resources. These scholarships change lives, opening the doors of a Tintern education to students who may not otherwise have had the chance to join our School. Beyond this, Giving Day unites us as a community; Alumni, families, staff, students, and friends, in a collective effort to make a difference.
I am always amazed at the extraordinary support we receive on this day, and I am both excited and proud to be part of our third annual Giving Day on Wednesday 27 August. I encourage everyone who has the capacity to give, whether a little or a lot, to take part. Every gift truly matters, and together, they create an enduring impact for generations of Tintern students to come.
