The 2015 Telephone Campaign
Winchester College is immensely
gratefully to the OWs and parents who
took part in this summer’s Telephone
Campaign. Over £220,000 was raised in
support of the Annual Fund, with 14
young OW callers, who were based in
Science School, speaking to nearly 1,000
OWs, parents and past parents. The
money raised will help to support a variety
of projects in the forthcoming year,
including bursaries.
It is important to remember that it is not
only the School that benefits from the
Campaign: it also provides a wonderful
opportunity for the callers, all recent
leavers, to take full advantage of the wealth
of experience on offer when talking to
members of the Wykehamical community.
This year, a Fellow, Andrew Joy (C, 70–74)
was our generous challenge donor and
‘Campaign Champion’ who visited the call
room and motivated the young OWs.
As in 2014 the most successful caller
received a week’s internship at Sky, thanks
to Nick Ferguson (C, 61–66). This helped
significantly with the recruitment process
and of course added an element of focus
and healthy competition! This year
Marcus Scott (F, 10–15) was the welldeserving recipient.
Thank you so much
