27 The 110 Club: Collective transformation The 110 Club enables our bursary supporters to witness the tangible results of their philanthropy. By committing to cover at least 10% of a bursary, you join a dedicated group whose support ensures that talented children from all backgrounds can thrive at Abingdon. The 1563 Society: A lasting legacy Named in honour of John Roysse, who re-endowed the school in 1563, the 1563 Society recognises those who have chosen to remember the school in their will. These bequests play a crucial role in maintaining the autonomy and spirit that defines Abingdon. Unrestricted Funds: Flexibility in excellence While bursaries are a priority, unrestricted gifts are equally vital. They allow the Head and Governors to direct resources where they are most urgently required, whether that is supporting our bursary campaign, enhancing our Academic and Other Half programmes or upgrading facilities. How to Support Us: Every contribution, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference to our pupils. Online Giving The quickest way to donate is via our secure online portal. You can donate a one-off gift or set up a Direct Debit in just a few clicks.

This means for every £1 you give, the school receives £1.25 at no extra cost to you. As a higher rate (40%) or additional rate (45%) taxpayer, you can claim Income Tax relief on the difference between your tax rate and the basic rate (20%) on the gross value of your donation—reducing the net cost of your gift while allowing the charity to receive the full amount including Gift Aid.
