Our 2025 Telephone Campaign will run from 1–14 July, and we hope you’ll enjoy a friendly conversation with one of our enthusiastic team of recent leavers. They’re looking forward to chatting with fellow Old Blues, parents and friends – and to hear your stories.

These calls are a great opportunity to:

• Hear first-hand what life is like at Christ's Hospital today
• Share your memories and experiences with one of our youngest Old Blues
• Catch up on recent news and developments
• Find out how you can make a difference through our our 21 Futures campaign to increase bursary support.

Christ’s Hospital is a remarkable community where lasting friendships are formed and memories are made. Our callers and supporters regularly tell us how much they enjoy these conversations. If, however, you’d prefer not to receive a call, you can opt out by emailing [email protected] or calling 01403 246570.

Supporting 21 Futures

This year’s telephone campaign supports 21 Futures — an urgent effort to save 21 transformational bursary places that are now at serious risk. A sharp rise in employer National Insurance contributions, coupled with the loss of charitable Business Rate relief, has placed unprecedented pressure on Christ's Hospital’s finances.

With increased support for our Blue Fund Bursaries from Old Blues, parents and friends, we can ensure that Christ's Hospital continues to keep the door open to an education that changes lives.

Unlock extra support

If you're inspired to support future Christ's Hospital students through our telephone campaign, your generosity could help unlock a special £25,000 match donation. Thanks to the generosity of Old Blue Trevor Tomkins, every new or increased regular gift in response to this appeal will unlock an additional £150 in match funding — up to a total of £25,000. Making an even greater impact on transforming young lives.
