Free Places progress

On 1 April 2024 St John’s officially passed the halfway mark for the Dobson Free Places Fund. This milestone achievement has been made possible through the generosity of more than 1,500 alumni and friends who have collectively donated more than £5 million, helping to release an additional £8 million in seed- and matched-funding in the process.

To all who have given so far – thank you! Your generosity has enabled us to launch Free Places on a pilot basis, with the first three recipients welcomed to St John’s in October 2023. We look forward to updating you on their progress in the near future.
