This campaign has now closed
To support talented young people in the Yorkshire Dales we are seeking to develop new facilities. Our pupils come from a wide range of backgrounds (>40% receive some form of fee remission). They go on to work in fields such as medical research that help solve some of the worlds big problems.

Situation
A lack of resources in the state sector mean that a range of subjects are not found in the curriculum of most schools. Science, Languages, Music and other performing arts all suffer because of an increasingly narrow focus. In the long run this will mean that we will have fewer people with the basic background knowledge to work in science & medicine, IT, and the performing arts, all critical for our future.
Solution
Giggleswick offers pupils from a wide range of background the opportunity to participate in a huge number of activities and helps them to become skilled interesting young people who can begin to solve our world’s problems. The annual fund supports projects that educate and inspire young people to rise to these challenges.
