Ways to Support RNC

Give a Gift in Memory of a loved one or create a Memorial Page to celebrate their life
We can provide donation envelopes, Gift Aid support and guidance on how to set up a JustGiving memorial page.
Major Gifts
RNC has a range of strategic projects including campus capital developments that it is aiming towards but which require serious investment. In recent years, major gifts have paid for the completion of a new Audio Media Production Suite supporting the curriculum and leisure activities, a sensory and working garden and a range of specialist IT and VI-related equipment.
We welcome enquiries from individuals or Trusts and Foundations with the propensity to support larger scale strategic projects, helping to deliver an exciting and vital improvement for the students living on campus.
