Fundraising Dinner & Auction
Our aim is simple but life-changing: to fund a fully supported Sixth Form place for a talented young woman for whom this opportunity would otherwise be out of reach.
This is more than a night out – it’s a chance to give someone hope, opportunity, and the best education that could shape the rest of their life.
Remember, if you’re not able to join us on the night, we will also be hosting a silent auction with a huge variety of amazing lots to bid on remotely while still supporting this fantastic cause! This will go live on Saturday 11th April and we will inform you on how you can bid nearer the time.

We are so very grateful for any amount donated to this important cause.
There is the option to make a one-off donation or to gift a monthly amount: as you can see in the table below, any size of donation can have a huge positive impact over time.

If you would like to make a donation, please fill out the form below and The Bursary will contact you.
You have the option to boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 you donate. Gift Aid is reclaimed by the charity from the tax you pay for the current tax year. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.
Please notify us if you:
- want to cancel this declaration
- change your name or home address
- no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains
If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
I know without a question of a doubt that I would not be the woman I am today or the professional I am, or hopefully the human that I am, without The Maynard.

Here’s a taste of our fantastic auction lots…
When I found out I was lucky enough to receive the Maynard Bursary I had no idea how transformative it would be. And I wish nothing more than for other students to have the same experiences that I did.

It was a really pivotal moment when I then realised that I would be able to go to a Sixth Form school that would encourage and help me to one day become a doctor and that is ultimately what The Maynard helped me to do.
Lisbeth, maynard Bursary recipient
I really see the moment I was invited to attend The Maynard with a bursary as a complete fork in the road of my life… All of these opportunities suddenly opened up for me that I did not think were going to be possible before.
