There are a swathes of Old Radleians doing important work for local, national and international charities. From silent auctions and fun runs to founding charitable organisations, we are proud to see that so many Old Radleians are both ingenuous and humble.
Take a look at the Charities section of the Old Radleian 2023 to see what ORs have been up to.
Charity Alliance
Each year RadSoc selects, supports and promotes an OR charity. By doing this, we shine a light on the work of a particular cause, increasing awareness among the Radley community and helping it to deliver its mission.
We believe that creating these annual alliances will showcase some of the best work that our community is doing in the charities sector. While we will highlight our chosen charity, we will also continue to promote other fundraising efforts by Old Radleians more broadly.
If you are doing something amazing for a charity you care about, get in touch.
Kit 4 Kenya
Introducing the Radleian Society Charity Alliance for 2023-24: Kit 4 Kenya
Kit 4 Kenya was founded in the summer of 2017 by 6.1s Tom Sweetnam & Archie Barrow (both 2014, J). At school they loved sport, football in particular, and landed on the idea of recycling sports kit by sending it to those who needed it, in Kenya.
Kit 4 Kenya have recently acquired a warehouse in Milton Keynes where they can store kit, and they have an established shipping partner which has helped reduce costs. Last year, they reached a huge a milestone: successfully shipping out over £1 million worth of football kit to Kenya! Scaling up has meant that for every £1 that is donated, one full kit can be sent to an aspiring young footballer in Kenya.
Hear from Tom Sweetnam in the Old Radleian 2023.
They rely solely on donations to continue doing their work. If you want to help them on this journey you can:
