Ways of Giving

Truro School Foundation – Charity number: 1070969

Every gift, no matter how big or small, will have a life-changing effect on a child for whom a bursary might be the only way of accessing a Truro School education.

Giving a one-off gift will make an immediate impact to our bursary fundraising, whereas a regular gift, whether monthly or annually, can help allow the School to plan for the future.

Remembering Truro School Foundation in your Will is one of the most impactful ways of supporting Truro School’s mission of increasing the number of our transformational bursaries.

“Together, we can make a world of difference.”
