Welcome to 9X’s sponsorship page!
We’re taking part in a sponsored walk for Giving Day on Thursday 18 June to support the Marjorie Hulme Bursary Fund and we’d love your help!
Every form is aiming to raise as much as possible. If we can reach £1,976, we’ll unlock an extra £1,000 towards our total, so every donation really counts.
Your support will help provide life-changing opportunities for girls to attend Withington. And, of course, there’s a little friendly competition too… the form that raises the most by the end of Giving Day wins a pizza party!
Thank you so much for your generosity and encouragement, we really appreciate it!
Help us reach our target of £1,976

As part of our celebrations to mark 50 years of the WGS Trust and bursary support at Withington, we are hearing from 50 people throughout the year about why bursaries matter to them. Here we share four of their stories.
Teeba, Alumna & Former Bursary Recipient
Quite simply, the bursary didn’t just give me access to an education, it gave me direction, belief, and opportunity. I am deeply grateful, and I hope my journey shows just how life-changing bursary support can be.
Susan, Donor & Alumna
My father was involved in WGS governance in the late 1970s and fully committed to the creation of bursaries. I support the Bursary Fund because an excellent education can change the course of a person's life, and not only of that one person but of her whole family and her future family too.
Elizabeth Robinson, Director of Sixth Form
Watching our bursary students flourish, particularly as they reach the pinnacle of their school careers in the Sixth Form, is profoundly moving. Their confidence, ambition and success are tangible. For me, they are living proof that bursaries are not simply about financial support; they are about possibility, access, and the quiet, life-changing power of belief.
Imogen, Alumna & Former Bursary Recipient
Bursary support at WGS had a profound impact on my education and future. Through outstanding teaching and rich musical and sporting opportunities the school nurtured both my academic and personal development, as well as friendships that have lasted a lifetime. That support was truly transformative and I'll be forever grateful.
Ros, Alumna & Donor
My sisters and I received bursary support and all benefited from the wonderful start our Withington education gave us. I’ve decided to include the Bursary Fund in my will, to give back as much as I can to help the girls of the future. What goes around, comes around, as they say.
Ranjit Munro, WGS Trustee
When it was suggested that I become a trustee of the WGS Trust, it was an obvious ‘yes’ from me. My education is the basis of my success. All young women deserve a great education and whilst we can’t necessarily achieve that overnight, we can all do something, and a good place to start is supporting bursaries at Withington.
