Why we need your support
We're aiming to raise £70,000.00. So far we've raised £17,681.00
For almost 132 years Hymers has provided an outstanding education to bright and hardworking young people. A flagship school of the North, Hymers has long symbolised excellence, raising aspirations and creating opportunities. Hull is the fourth most deprived area in the UK and with disadvantage deepening, access to a Hymers education represents a transformational opportunity for the children on our doorstep to make the most of their potential.
Our School community is invited to come together for Hymers first Giving Day, raising money to fund bursary places. It's an opportunity for everyone to act, so that collectively we can transform the lives of talented children in Hull, Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire.
We will be running challenges throughout the two days and inviting everyone to get involved.
Our School is as diverse and multi-faceted as the world outside our gates; our bursary programme ensures deserving children who will enrich our community are a part of that.
We are asking Old Hymerians, parents and friends of Hymers to make a difference this Giving Day. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will contribute towards providing a bursary place which will transform young lives through a Hymers education.

The Treelined West Drive Garden within our grounds will be enjoyed by children for generations to come. We are asking our alumni to support our Giving Day by purchasing one of 30 native English trees (Oak, Copper Beech and Cherry) for £400. This generous donation will secure an invitation to the Garden tree-planting morning. During the morning, we will also unveil a permanent commemorative plaque to celebrate your donation. The purchase of one of these beautiful trees makes you a permanent part of our School’s history in a unique way. We hope our Giving Trees will inspire others to consider supporting Hymers and contribute to changing a child’s life. Please make your pledge of £400 by clicking the button on the following donation page.

Without question, my time at Hymers laid the foundations for the happy and successful life that I've enjoyed in the intervening 63 (!) years. Looking back, I now realise that this lovely old school encouraged me to 'Dare mighty things', a mantra that I've passed on to my children and grandchildren. I hope that my financial contribution to 'Giving Day' similarly helps some of the present generation of Hymerians to dare their own mighty things.
My donation to the Bursary fund is in memory of my father William Leslie Rank (OH) who left Hymers in 1926.
A fantastic cause at the heart of Hymers College.
