Community Spirit Shines Through in Successful Calling Campaign

Thank you to everyone who picked up the phone

Between 18th August and 1st September, thirteen recent leavers called OKS and parents as part of our King’s Calling telephone campaign. Their goal? To raise support for transformational bursaries at King’s through the Charter Awards.

We can now reveal that our enthusiastic team of callers reached out to more than 500 members of the community, receiving an outstanding response. The generosity shown has already helped raise significant funds towards providing life changing bursary opportunities.

The campaign was not only about fundraising. Callers thoroughly enjoyed reconnecting with the community, listening to OKS memories, and hearing inspiring stories. Many also benefitted from valuable careers advice, with opportunities for mentoring arising through these conversations showcasing the true strength and warmth of our network.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to speak with our callers and for the incredible support you have shown. The final fundraising total is being confirmed and will be shared with you shortly.

Together, we are building brighter futures one call at a time. Thank you.
