Paid work opportunity – telephone fundraisers

In July 2025, the GDST is undertaking a multi-school telephone fundraising campaign across six schools. Each school is fundraising for their own bursary fund. 

The schools participating are: 

  • Newcastle High School for Girls 
  • Norwich High School for Girls 
  • Nottingham Girls’ High School 
  • Sheffield Girls’ 
  • South Hampstead High School 
  • Wimbledon High School 

Recent alumnae (Class of 2021 – 2024) are eligible to apply to become one of three telephone fundraisers for their school. The role is calling alumnae from earlier years from the school to re-connect with them, and to ask for their support of our bursary campaign. Calling times are weeknights and weekends, and the campaign is run entirely remotely, meaning that callers can work from home or university accommodation. The aim of the campaign is to raise vital funds to support school bursary programmes, which ensure that girls from all walks of life can access a GDST education regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.
