The Mary Hare Foundation
The Mary Hare Foundation was established in 1991 by Sir Philip Wroughton supported by a group of individuals who wanted to help Mary Hare School by raising funds. The Foundation is a registered charity (number 1002680). All profits from Arlington Arts go to Mary Hare School.
Since the Foundation was established, it has raised over £8 million for development projects at Mary Hare School, including an indoor heated pool, a Year 11 boarding house, and the Arlington Arts Centre. The school is the biggest school for the deaf in the UK. Whilst the school receives funding from local authorities and the government, these only cover the teaching and care of pupils. Development of new facilities and updating of existing ones depend wholly upon fundraising and donations. The work to raise much needed funds is therefore key to the future of Mary Hare School and its ability to supply excellent provision to so many deaf pupils going forward.
