Donations
Since 1 January 2015 the College has funded the operational costs of the Society, illustrating the close and cooperative relationship which exists between us.
We had previously asked for donations from members to help fund our operational costs and we are most grateful to over 400 who regularly gave in order for us to balance our books. Notwithstanding the College’s support for our operational costs we still encourage OFs to make donations to the Society to help fund one or more of the following:
- Capital improvements at the College
- Scholarships and bursaries to enable future and existing pupils to receive the benefit of education at the College
- Benevolence for those OFs who have fallen on hard times, an area where our Trustees have been called on twice in the last couple of years

COMMUNICATION DONATIONS
We launched an appeal in 2023 to meet most, if not all, of the cost of production (both online and physical) and delivery of annual publications to all those UK-based OFs who have expressed a preference for a printed newspaper. It is our hope that adopting a donation-based approach will allow the more eager, or able, members amongst us to support this publication reaching as broad an audience as possible. Whilst we would appreciate a contribution of at least £10 per annum, we would of course welcome a little more to help meet the approximate £10,000 annual cost to the Society.
To make such a donation easy, we now offer three different ways to donate:
