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!

#GivingWeek
The college hosted some very exciting guests last week! @gtc_gcr invited some Alpacas (and a Llama!) to come in for a student wellness event. They were indeed a welcome distraction for all!
A huge congratulations to everyone from @greentempletonboatclub who took part in Summer Eights 2026.
The club fielded an impressive five crews across four days of racing on the Isis, demonstrating commitment, teamwork and determination in one of Oxford`s most iconic rowing events.

👏You have earned your degree - a major milestone in your life.👏
