CHARITABLE TRUST
OLD BRUTONIAN ASSOCIATION CHARITABLE TRUST
One of the more difficult responsibilities of the Vice President is to try to persuade and encourage Old
Brutonians to part with their money in the form of a Gift Aid Payment to our Charitable Trust.
There are many financial demands on us and this may well be seen as just another begging letter,
and indeed it is. However, I do ask you to at least consider whether you are prepared to donate the
equivalent of £1 a week with an annual payment of £50 per year – or even £25 a year or a “one-off”
donation, however small. Most of this money is put towards scholarships. Your donation would help to
make all the difference to whether or not a talented young boy or girl, whose parents would not
otherwise be able to afford the full fees, might be educated at King’s School, Bruton.
There are several pupils at the School who are supported by OBA Scholarships and they really are
making the most of the opportunity which we Old Brutonians have helped to give them. The plan is to
award further Scholarships at the start of the next academic year. We are also looking at awarding
prizes for excellence in art, drama, music, sport and leadership.
There are currently twenty or so Old Brutonians making donations in this way. It would be a major
achievement if, as a result of this appeal to you, we were able, between us, to secure a Bruton education
for a child who would not otherwise be able to go there.
