Home>About Us>Co-Curricular>Charity & Community

Central to our mission as a school is the development of compassionate and community-minded young women.

Charity fundraising is a big part of school life at Francis Holland. From Bake Sales to Comedy Nights, girls are encouraged to share their time, talent, and treasure to raise money for a huge range of important causes, both locally and internationally. As well as longstanding commitments to local charities In-Deep and The Katherine Low Settlement, and the ongoing sponsorship of four students at Mvumi School in Tanzania, girls regularly organise and lead fundraising and awareness campaigns in response to international crises as well as other issues closer to home. Most recently the UVI led a fundraising campaign for ‘The Cycle’, a charity that provides sanitary products for impoverished young women in India.

We are proud of our strong and mutually beneficial relationships with our charity partners, which means that girls have opportunities to develop an active understanding of the important role that charities play in wider society. Every member of our LVI volunteers regularly, whether at the Love to Learn Homework Club at The Katherine Low Settlement, Music Therapy at In-Deep, or as part of the St Barnabas C of E Primary School co-curricular programme. Additionally, the school runs a regular series of trips throughout the year for Outreach activities, including visits to Hammersmith and Fulham Foodbank Warehouse to take part in a ‘donation sort’, and several befriending visits to The Katherine Low Settlement as part of our Christmas Present Wrapping and Easter Eggs for Elders projects.

Francis Holland Junior School also plays a key role in our charitable endeavours with plenty of events, including the Junior School Charity Dog Show, in the School Calendar. Find out more here.

All charity events are student-led and seek to foster creativity, enterprise, independence and collaboration. Girls are conscious of their duty to show compassion and kindness to those in need of support.
