Giving Day 2021
The college hosted its second Giving Day on Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 June 2021.
Giving Day presents an opportunity for the whole Green Templeton community, alumni, students, fellows and staff to come together and raise much needed funds to support students, widen access through scholarships, maintain the college’s architectural heritage and to give students an enhanced experience through access to funds that support community projects and extra-curricular activities.
We hope there was something for everyone during the 36 hours of Giving Day, and as you enjoyed the events and were reminded of your time and connection to Green Templeton, you will consider making a regular gift to the college.
Thank you!

✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
These peaceful moments around college were captured by work experience student Izzie.

As conservation work continues on the Radcliffe Observatory, we were delighted to climb to the very top of the impressive scaffold and enjoy a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.
Along the way, we uncovered some fascinating details—and a few cheeky surprises—carved into parts of the stonework. ✨
These hidden marks offer a glimpse into the stories, craftsmanship, and personalities that have become part of the building’s rich history. Stay tuned as we continue to share more behind-the-scenes moments from this remarkable conservation project.
