Celebrating World Book Day | A Wycombe Abbey Giving Day, 5-6 March 2025
16 January 2025 - All
World Book Day is a much-loved fixture in the School calendar. We delight in the opportunity to celebrate the books that have shaped us, exploring characters, plots and themes through a series of events, competitions, and of course, costumes!
World Book Day 2025 will be more exciting than ever as we mark the refurbishment of the Junior Library and launch our first Giving Day, an interactive fundraising challenge.
Our focus will be ‘libraries of the future’, expanding and enhancing the materials and spaces available to pupils to keep them at the forefront of an increasingly global and digital culture of reading.
Giving Day will run for 36 hours, enabling our supporters all over the globe to take part. During this online fundraising challenge, we will celebrate all that is exceptional about Wycombe Abbey. You will be able to track progress against challenges, matched funding, participation and messages from donors across the world – all in real-time.
It is also inclusive – our strength is in what we can achieve as a collective, so any gift of any size will be meaningful and impactful to this community-wide effort.
This is an exciting event for our School and we do hope you will join us. Please mark the date in your diary and keep an eye out for further information.
In the interim, if you would like to be part of a lead or challenge gift, for example, to encourage participation in your daughter’s House, please do not hesitate to contact the Director of Development, Ms Robin Sharp.
