The Old Stoic Society endeavours to support Old Stoics throughout their lives after leaving Stowe. We do this by offering a wide range of members’ services and activities, from sports and social activities to careers guidance and professional advice, along with introductions to others in the OS network.
As part of this support, we have set up the Old Stoic Benevolent Trust (OSBT) as a registered charity in its own right, to provide support for Old Stoics in an hour of need.
Any Old Stoic facing a personal crisis can contact the OSBT and we will provide a friendly face to speak to and practical help if we can. This could include modest financial support.
All approaches will be handled confidentially by the OSBT Trustees, who can draw on Stowe and the OS network for resources and specialist advice, and who also have access to various other sources of support.
The Old Stoic Benevolent Trust is now available to you should you find yourself unable to find a place to sleep; pay your rent; buy food for your family or afford a suit for a job interview.
Questions and queries should be directed to Anna Semler via OSBT@stowe.co.uk or telephone 01280 818252.
All enquires and applications to the OSBT will be handled in the strictest confidence.
Our seed funding is coming from the Old Stoic Society, who have committed a modest annual donation.
