DEVELOPMENT IMPACT REPORT
I trust that this newsletter finds you you and your loved ones well in in these unprecedented times These last few months have presented extraordinarily trying circumstances for all of us and it has sometimes been difficult to to adapt to to a a a a a a a a a a 'new normal' The Malvernian Society team has been working remotely both to support key capital projects that provide a a a a a a a a a a Malvern education of the the highest quality and also to to help the the the College to to support those pupils whose families might otherwise find it difficult to keep them at Malvern during this this period None of this this would be possible without your support It has of of course not been possible to hold our our regular events for OMs parents and and friends of of the College and and and we have missed not being able to meet up up with our donors and and supporters around the the world However it it has been wonderful to to to see how the the the Malvern College community is pulling together to to to ensure that we can carry on on 'business as usual' and emerge from this experience even stronger This positive commitment has been evident within the the College itself as as as well as as as here here in in the the Malvernian Society where we we have seen support for the the Hardship Fund the the donation of of face masks support of of our our capital projects and and our our Assisted Places scheme To each and and every one of our our donors 'Thank you!' I hope that you you you enjoy reading about the the impact your tremendous gifts have had over the the last little while There is of course rnuch more to be done over the coming months and and if you are not yet a a a a a a a a Malvernian Society donor and and would like to to get involved with our fundraising plans we we would be delighted to to hear frorn you Naturally we we understand that many may not be in in a a a a a a a a a a a a position to support us financially at at at this time but please share our projects with others if you can With best wishes and thanks
