A vintage actof giving

A small gift, a lasting legacy. What the room gives on the day buys art materials, and the teaching to go with them, for girls in rural schools.

SDG 4 · Quality education

Why it is small

The gift is deliberately small. It is close to nothing at an event like this, and it maps to something you could pick up and hold: one kit, one lesson, one seat on the bus.

That means every guest can give, and nobody is asked to fund an abstraction. It also means the total is a headcount rather than a figure on a slide.

Sponsors can match the room. If your organisation wants to double whatever is raised on the day, we will set that up and credit it properly.

Giving opens soon

The campaign amount and the payment page go live closer to the event. If you want to give ahead of the day, or sponsor the match, write to us and we will take it from there.

Every gift goes to the arts programme. Nothing is taken out for running the event.

What it buys

Art supply kits

A full set of materials per student: paper, brushes, paints and the case to carry them in.

Time with an artist

Hours with a working local artist, paid properly, in a classroom that would not otherwise have one.

Seats on the bus

Transport to the cultural heritage tours, which is usually the reason a student cannot attend.

Heritage and education,in the same room

Vintage Gala exists because old things are worth keeping. The same argument applies to a tradition of making. Everything given on the day goes to the girls who will carry it next.
