At Wycombe Abbey, giving support to the community – whether global or close to home – is not an afterthought, but an intrinsic part of school life. Charitable involvement is evident everywhere in the school, from bake sales to support house charities and the Sock-Meter showing the number of socks donated to the Central Aid Society, to large-scale events in aid of the main school charity. Some of the charities we support have been with us since the school’s foundation in 1896, while others are chosen each year by the girls themselves. Through their charitable involvement, Wycombe girls become more informed, active and responsible global citizens.
