Emeritus Fellow Sir Muir Gray celebrates staff step-a-thon success with book giveaway

Green Templeton College staff were thrilled to smash their recent step-a-thon target for Giving Day 2021.

Staff initially committed to walking 2,021,000 steps between Wednesday 19 May and Wednesday 2 June to raise funds for college, but through a tremendous group effort they more than doubled that figure, clocking up an incredible 4,184,918 steps instead!

Emeritus Fellow Sir Muir Gray celebrated the achievement by gifting signed copies of his book, Dr Gray’s Walking Cure, to all members of staff who took part. The book details how walking a little more each day can help you look better, feel better, and reduces the risks and effects of disease.

Sir Muir Gray is currently working on a second edition of the book.

Congratulations to all staff who took part!

Something remarkable is happening at the Radcliffe Observatory.

Our new film takes you behind the scenes to discover the extraordinary expertise, dedication and craftsmanship involved in conserving one of Oxford's most significant buildings. With works progressing at pace, the Observatory is entering an exciting new chapter.

The Radcliffe Observatory was created through the generosity of one generation. Its survival depends on the stewardship of another. Its legacy will be inherited by generations yet to come.

Thanks to existing supporters, important progress is already being made. But there is still much to do.

Now, we have an opportunity to play our part in securing the Observatory's future.

Be part of what comes next.
