We are delighted to have been named as Winner of the “Best of the Best” Inspiring Green Initiatives category in the The Week Independent Schools Guide 2025 for our inaugural Green Giving Day last year.
The Week said: “Last year Malvern College hosted its first Green Giving Day to establish a Green Fund for sustainability projects. This progressive boarding school’s aim was to reduce its carbon footprint, preserve its historic Gothic buildings, and cultivate eco-friendly learning environments. In collaboration with its alumni department, students led fundraising, and numerous fun activities and challenges.
“300 pupils took part in sustainability challenges including planting 50 trees, and the alumni Green Club was launched. The Green Fund helped launch a 10-year masterplan centres on sustainability, testament to the school’s dedication to shaping a greener future.”
This award follows two previous awards for our first Green Giving Day: the Admissions, Marketing, Communications in Independent Schools (AMCIS) Communications IMPACT Award in May this year, and the ‘Schools' Fundraising Campaign of the Year’ Award at The Institute of Development Professionals in Education (IDPE) Development Awards in November 2023.
We remain extremely grateful to everyone who donated and helped to make Green Giving Day a success.
We look forward to Green Giving Day 2025 – details to follow soon!
