Charities

We aim to encourage all our pupils and staff, to participate in charitable events and to help those less fortunate. Our goal is to inspire pupils to deepen their knowledge of charitable causes and to take action to help others. At Godolphin we foster a culture of compassion, generosity and community engagement. Activities range from whole school community walks, takeover days for Macmillan and assembling food boxes and participating in fundraising events like marathons and bike rides. Some individuals even donate their hair to make wigs for cancer patients. As a school, we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of others.

Godolphin uses this JustGiving page to collect donations for our chosen charities throughout the school year.

"Going to a school like Godolphin, I know I am extremely privileged. I believe that everyone should have a chance to have a successful life , surrounded by loving supportive people. However that can't happen unless you make a change, because not every thing can be left to the rest of the world to do. " Godolphin Sixth Pupil.
