2024/5 CHARITIES
Here are the charities the QCPA are supporting this year:
Pupils’ Charity Choice
Based in London, Glass Door operates open-access services for people affected by homelessness. Year-round, people find practical advice and advocacy to end their homelessness through trained caseworkers based at partnering drop-in centres. During the hard months of winter, we provide emergency night shelter. Our vision is a world where no one has to sleep on the streets of London, and we’re working every day to achieve this.
Parents’ Charity Choice
GOSH has set out to create a new, world-leading Children’s Cancer Centre – a unique resource for children with some of the most complex cancers. In order to achieve this ambitious project, the charity has pledged to raise £300 million through the Build it. Beat it. Campaign.
Designed with the needs of children and families at its very heart, the centre will be far more than just a building. It will support every aspect of care for children and their families from diagnosis to remission and beyond.
Providing digitally advanced wards, cutting-edge imaging technology, state-of-the-art treatment facilities, and a new school. Each child – and the adult they will become – is at the heart of everything we do.
Queen’s College Charity Choice
The Queen’s Bursary Fund provides full and partial bursaries to enable pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to benefit from a Queen’s education. Our ambitious goal is to have 10% of pupils receiving a bursary annually. The Queen’s Bursary Fund is also used to support existing members of our community who suffer financial hardship, for example, helping more than 50 families during the coronavirus pandemic.
