Aim: Please help save Bristol Steiner School and ensure a Steiner Waldorf education survives and thrives in Bristol in perpetuity.
Dear friends and supporters,
As you may know, Bristol Steiner School is experiencing a challenging time. The school was put into administration by the board of trustees on 14 December 2023 due to financial difficulties.
Since then a group of dedicated parents, carers, teachers, staff and supporters have been working hard on a plan to save the school from closure.
In just 8 weeks we have secured £800k in potential loans to rescue the school and ensure that we can pay off the necessary debts and exit administration.
We are continuing to work around the clock and we are doing everything we can to save the school.
Now we need your help.
Whilst the £800k in loans is fantastic, it is not enough to ensure we can exit administration, in order that our business plan to rescue the school is as robust as possible we need to build on this generosity with some gifted income.
For the rescue plan to be successful we need to demonstrate to the administrators that we have the ability to raise gifted income as well as loans, via a committed parent/carer and supporter community at the school.
So this is your chance to show that parents, carers, teachers, staff and supporters are committed to, and care passionately about, Bristol Steiner School. We all know that, but now we get to loudly and clearly demonstrate our love for this school by donating some money to the cause.
This 50 year old school has provided a creative, holistic, dynamic, excellent, alternative education for children in Bristol since 1973.
Now it’s your chance to dig deep and give generously to help save Bristol Steiner School, and ensure a Steiner Waldorf education survives and thrives in Bristol now and into the future.
Your donation will be used to give our wonderful school building some love and care via some repairs and upgrading; to financially support the rich and varied Waldorf curriculum of art, music, handwork, woodwork and movement that the children at this school thrive on; and to make sure we have enough money to really sail through our first 6-12 months after exiting administration.
Any money gifted to this Crowdfunder will not be called in unless we successfully exit administration. In the event that we do not exit administration all gifted money will be cancelled.
Don't forget to select gift aid! HMRC give us an extra 25p for every pound you donate if you are a UK taxpayer and select gift aid.
Thank you everyone for your continued support, and please spread the word around the world!
