Widening Worlds – Transforming Lives
By the age of 16, around 1 in 20 children will have experienced the death of one or both of their parents*.
Imagine the impact on them and their wider family.
The Lord Wandsworth Foundation plays a vital role in supporting vulnerable children who have lost the support of a parent by providing them with an LWC Education. A Foundation place provides far more than schooling – it offers children facing significant loss the chance to thrive through stability, opportunity and community.
Our Foundation Awards and Extras are only possible through the generosity of our donors.
*Child Beravement Network
Every gift – large or small – helps ensure that more young people can benefit from the life-changing opportunities offered by Lord Wandsworth College. When donating you can choose to give to the Foundation or to the Foundationers Extras Fund.
Help transform a life. Donate or bid on our exciting Silent Auction. SILENT AUCTION DATES: 6PM SUNDAY 22 MARCH – 8PM SUNDAY 29 MARCH

Kate’s Story:
“The Foundation was genuinely life-changing”
Kate came to Lord Wandsworth College after a difficult childhood marked by domestic violence. As a Foundationer, she flourished, discovering a love of books and writing, and forming friendships that would last a lifetime (including meeting her future husband, Kit, also a Foundationer). The Foundation gave Kate the stability, confidence, and opportunities that shaped the life and career she enjoys today.
Today, Kate enjoys a successful career in global marketing, a loving family, and a secure life – all opportunities made possible by her Foundation place at Lord Wandsworth College.
