Your support for Somerville is truly life-changing. It alters trajectories, empowers potential, safeguards learning and, most importantly of all, creates opportunity. 

The Cedar Circle

Regular gifts to Somerville change lives and shape the College's future. Our new Cedar Circle aims to thank alumni who give year on year and offer them the chance to see the impact of their generosity first hand. It recognises the loyal commitment of donors whose continued altruism enables the College to plan effectively for the future, invest in student support, and respond to urgent need in a timely manner.
