Lawsons extends support for Christ’s Hospital School
Builders merchant Lawsons is funding an annual scholarship for a pupil to attend Christ’s Hospital School in Sussex. The Lawson family has long maintained a private association with this unique institution and this association has now extended into formal support by the company’s charitable fund.
Founded in 1552 on the wishes of King Edward VI, Christ’s Hospital was established “to educate and nourish the destitute children of the city”. The leading independent school now offers free or substantially reduced fees to over 670 of their 830 boarders, significantly more than any other independent school in the country. Chairman Simon Lawson says: “As a business that prides itself on creating development pathways for our staff, it was a very natural step for us to support a charitable institution which offers an outstanding education and excellent pastoral care to young people, irrespective of background. It is a privilege to work with Christ’s Hospital to enrich and enhance the life of a young student.” As a corporate donor to the school, Lawsons will help to raise awareness and understanding of the supported entry pathways to the school amongst staff and customers.
