Thank You!

For two weeks in September a 12-strong team of dedicated student ambassadors spoke to over 800 Johnians as part of the College’s second Telethon. This annual event is becoming one of our most vital ways of maintaining a personal dialogue with our alumni.

Our callers received numerous offers of careers advice, important feedback on our events and publications, and address updates, which are key to the College remaining in contact with Johnians. Over half of those contacted felt in a position to make a gift in support of the Campaign, raising over £253,000 for the College’s strategic priorities.

This year is especially significant for the College, as we recently paid tribute at Westminster Abbey to our Foundress, the Lady Margaret Beaufort, on the 500th anniversary of her death. During a time which is so significant for the College’s history of benefaction, Johnians have now collectively raised over £500,000 (£787,203 with matched funding) through the Telethon scheme. Just as importantly, many warm and enjoyable conversations were exchanged with Johnians of all generations.

We are very grateful to all those who helped to make this Campaign such a success.
