What is BinsonGives?

BinsonGives is a thirty-six-hour Campaign involving our whole community - students, alumni, fellows, staff, and wider friends from across the world – inviting them to come together, take a moment to remember Robinson, and give back towards vital funds for both the present and future of the College.

What are we fundraising for?

This year’s BinsonGives will be themed around place – building on the generosity of previous years where our supporters claimed parts of the College, we are encouraging our community to give back to support these spaces for future generations. For this reason we are fundraising for three important causes that each reflect this central message:

Maintaining our Heritage – our beautiful red brick buildings are approaching fifty-years old, and require an ongoing programme of restoration and renewal. This is particularly important as we work to solve the long-term water proofing issues, through work on the infrastructure, the plumbing, and even the fabric itself. This comes alongside wider work to make Robinson more accessible, and well-equipped for the challenges of the coming years.

A Sustainable College – nature is central to Robinson, with the gardens a major feature of the original architects' designs, and we hope to continue to invest in them from a sustainability and environmental perspective. They are the first step towards a wider move towards Zero Carbon, and placing biodiversity at the heart of our work – but also giving students space to reflect and relax at the heart of their learning experience.

Make Student Memories – our Wellbeing Campaign has been one of the cornerstones of our fundraising work in recent past, and with your support we have been able to offer support to members of the community that need it most. ‘More Students, More Active, More Often’ is our guiding mantra, and every gift helps reach more of our undergraduate and postgraduate body, to help them make the most of their time at Cambridge.

Uniting all three is the way they each contribute to the College’s inspirational and forward-thinking community. This is the time to define Robinson for a lifetime to come, and we hope that you will take part in it.

I’ve made a gift – what else can I do to get involved?

First of all – thank you! Our work wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of supporters such as yourself.

One of the best ways to maximise your support is by connecting with your friends, and inspiring them to get involved as well. For example, you can even share our BinsonGives posts on your social media, we will be using #BinsonGives2024 throughout the Giving Day on the following platforms:
