Challenges
We’re running two great challenges over Giving Day! Keep up to date with how both challenges are going over on our Giving Day live blog.
Row-a-thon
A team of students, staff, fellows and alumni will row continuously for 36 hours, attempting to cover 250 kilometres. The more kilometres rowed the more money raised for Giving Day.
Giving Day update: Our incredible team of rowers have smashed their 250km target and have now passed 278km!
Step-a-thon
The staff of Green Templeton college are aiming to complete 2,021,000 steps between Wednesday 19 May and Wednesday 2 June at 19:00 to raise funds for Giving Day.
Giving Day update: Our final step count is 4,184,918!

An evening of reconnection, inspiration and community ✨
On Thursday 21 May, alumni returned to college to meet the students shaping Green Templeton today. Hosted in the Tower of the Winds, the evening brought together alumni across generations and disciplines for conversations, shared experiences and new connection 🤝
We are delighted to announce Green Templeton’s Community & Giving Week, taking place from 20–26 June 2026🥳
Throughout the week, we’ll be raising funds for student support while celebrating our wonderful community. There will be opportunities to volunteer you time to help our students, take part in college competitions and unlock additional funds through community challenges.
Early giving is now open, and thanks to a group of generous supporters, we have £20,000 to match donations ahead of 20 June.
