THINKING OF GIVING BACK?
Thinking of Giving Back?
There are so many ways in which you can help. You might wish to:
• host a social event: the Society already runs over 40 events each year, but we would be delighted to hear from anyone who might host regional get-togethers: perhaps a garden party or dinner.
• be the OM representative in a particular part of the UK or abroad
• give a talk to pupils at the College. Every year the Society hosts about ten lectures given by OMs (the Somme, Medical Detection Dogs, Fashion, Air-Sea Rescue, William Blake, Hydroponics to name but a few recent subjects). If you have a presentation that might interest the pupils, please get in touch.
There are always opportunities to help other OMs in the realm of career-mentoring; you might offer:
• an informal chat over a coffee or online with someone keen to find out more about your particular profession or line of business
• aplacementorsomeworkexperience,oradvisesomeoneontheirCV
• to mentor someone in middle management looking to move to a senior post
• to host a professional networking event
• to take part in one of our Careers events at the College
If you would like to discuss any of these options further, please call us on +44(0) 1684 581517 or email us at malsoc@malverncollege.org.uk
Of course, you might:
• make a gift: if you would like to make a single gift to the Malvernian Society, selecting your chosen project as the designation, you can do so online, over the phone or by cheque.
• make a regular gift: you may also make a regular gift by Direct Debit or Standing Order. The results of group- giving can be extraordinary, as seen opposite.
• leave a legacy: a legacy to the Malvernian Society is one of the greatest gifts you can make, allowing the very best traditions of a Malvern College education to continue to the benefit of future generations. A gift in your will can also provide a highly tax-efficient way of supporting the College. There are different types of legacies, ranging from a specific sum of money, to a percentage of your estate, to specific assets such as shares or property.
