Treloar’s School: Double Your Donation Opportunity

DATE

November 5, 2025

Treloar’s School and College is a charity in Alton, providing outstanding education, care and therapy for disabled children and young people throughout Hampshire and beyond

Many of our students require support day and night. We ensure that every student receives the outstanding care they deserve and for which Treloar’s is known. 

Right now, there is an opportunity to Double your Donation to help us renovate one of our residential buildings.

Gloucester House is our residential building for our School-age students. It’s more than a place to live – it’s where young people build friendships, independence and confidence. But after 40 years, it urgently needs updating. 

We’ve launched a fundraising appeal to renovate Gloucester House. Our Supportive Spaces campaign aims to raise £780,000 to create a modern, accessible space without limits, that meets the needs of our students.

Thanks to a generous donor, right now all contributions will be matched pound for pound up to £100,000, doubling the impact of every gift.

✅ £5 becomes £10   

✅ £10 becomes £20   

✅ £25 becomes £50   

Donate today and double your impact. Help us reach the full match before Christmas and create supportive spaces where every student can thrive. 

Why Gloucester House needs renovating

Gloucester House is a vital part of our students’ journey, but its outdated design makes daily life more complex:

  • Bedrooms are too small for modern wheelchairs and essential medical equipment 
  • Shared bathrooms are away from bedrooms, complicating personal care 
  • Multiple staff are often needed in cramped spaces 

We plan to create:

Larger bedrooms with space for equipment and personalisation

Accessible ensuite or Jack and Jill bathrooms

Improved ceiling hoist systems linking bedrooms and bathrooms 

Wider door frames for easy movement of beds and wheelchairs 

Improved communal areas for socialising and making friends

This transformation will give students more space, dignity, and independence.

Thanks to the generosity of one of our donors, every pound you give to our appeal to renovate Gloucester House will be matched – at no extra cost to you. 

Please donate today and help us reach our target of £100,000.
