Telethon target smashed!

This year’s Telethon raised a final sum of £206,936 with over 350 pledges of support for the College’s fundraising Campaign exceeding our original target of £180,000. Over the course of two weeks, our 13-strong team of student callers spoke to 634 Johnians, well over half of whom (56%) decided to make a gift to the Campaign. This included a substantial number of new donors. Now in its third year, the Telethon has cumulatively raised an impressive £993,936 (with matched funding in the first year).

This annual event is also becoming one of our most vital ways of maintaining a personal dialogue with our alumni and many warm and enjoyable conversations were exchanged with Johnians of all generations.

Funds raised from this year’s Telethon will be directed to support core activities such as student support, strengthening the endowment, teaching and research activities and sports.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to help make this year’s Telethon a success.
