Privileges for Donors

We are very grateful for every donation we receive and we like to thank and acknowledge your generosity. All donors, of any amount, are listed in the annual Roll Letter unless you prefer to remain anonymous. We have also established a number of giving circles to recognise and celebrate our supporters.

Buffet in Clough Hall

The Friends

With the Guild of Friends at its heart the Friends of Newnham thanks donors for your annual contributions of £500 or more. We hold regular events for our Friends and in previous years you have enjoyed lectures, lunches and a wine tasting.

The Young Friends

If you are aged 28 or under you can become a Young Friend. You will enjoy the same privileges as the Friends by contributing just £5 a month.
