Would you like to include the Centre in your will?
Please support the Mary Ward Fund
More than 100 years ago Mary Ward campaigned so that people from all backgrounds could study together here in the Holborn/St Pancras area. She founded a Settlement that offered classes in art, music, languages and philosophy, a ‘Poor Man’s Lawyer’ and the first after-school playcentre.
Her vision of education for all still inspires Mary Ward students, staff and supporters of the Centre. To ensure that the unique mix of students at the Centre is preserved, we have established the Mary Ward Fund.
Students on low incomes but not entitled to benefits are hit hardest by fee increases and other costs involved in study. The majority of our students earn less than the London average, are ethnically more diverse than in many other adult learning centres and enjoy learning with others for many different reasons, e.g. to combat loneliness, to support health, to get a job or for support with a learning difficulty. The Mary Ward Fund offers grants on application for course materials, equipment, part or full fees, travel and childcare to people finding it difficult to pay.
