Hilden Grange Bursary Appeal

Hilden Grange is a caring and supportive school; we find strength in the different kinds of families and their life experiences present in the community. This helps to foster the lively and varied learning environment that we cherish. The Bursary Fund allows us to provide access to the school to students and families who come from different economic backgrounds, which has the dual impact of making a life-changing difference for the individual student and broadening and enhancing the experience and perspectives of all the students. 

The Charity 

The Gold Standard Charitable Trust raises monies for bursaries at Hilden Grange and all the schools in the Alpha Plus/Inspired UK group of schools. It operates at arms-length from Inspired UKand has its own board.   The Charity has a dedicated Hilden Grange School Bursary Fund with goal of the supporting the students already enrolled at Hilden Grange who have been awarded bursaries and adding one or more additional students each year. Donations to this fund will be designated to students at Hilden Grange and can be used at other Abbey DLD Colleges/Inspired UK schools should the student continue there. If all the needs of Ivy House students are completely met, funds may also be used where the need is greatest among the schools that GSCT serves. 

Tax Advantaged Giving: “Gift Aid It!” 

The tax laws of the UK allow you to increase your giving impact substantially if you apply for gift aid.  Families in the 45% tax bracket who claim gift aid have an impact 82% greater than the net cost of their gift. For the 40% tax bracket the impact is an additional 67% and in the 20% bracket it is still 25% extra for the students. The table below shows how that works: 

Tax rate impact  Gift amount Post tax cost Gift Aid Total to School % increase of
45% tax rate£10,000    £6875£2500£12,500+82%
40% tax rate£1,000   £750£250£1,250+67%
20% tax rate£100£100£25£125+25%
