Churchill’s first Giving Day

Our first-ever Giving Day, ChuGives ran for 36 hours in March 2022. During this time our entire community of alumni, students, Fellows and staff were encouraged to join together, from all over the world, to celebrate the best of the College and support key projects benefiting Churchill students.

Thanks to our community we raised over £240,000 across our priority projects from over 400 donors.

Over £70,000 was donated for student support projects, and nearly £20,000 for the College’s endowment fund. The matching challenges were all met during the 36 hours.

The campaign saw the introduction of Quackson, the duck, who visited many sites around the College and Cambridge and alumni as the College community were invited to send him to their favourite place.
