Eton Action Fair
The Eton Action Fair, which takes place in September, is the largest annual fundraising event for Eton Action. Eton College’s grounds are transformed into a charity fair with games, stalls and performances organised by pupils and staff of Eton College to raise money for the five charities supported by Eton Action. In its 48th year, the fair was run on Saturday 18 September 2021 and drew thousands of visitors from Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead, as well as parents and friends of Eton pupils. On the day, over £30,000 was raised for Eton Action.
The involvement of the Eton Action Boy Committee and other student volunteers was incredibly positive with students feeding back that they gained a lot of experience working with the public. Their roles at the fair included, manning the ticket booths, helping at the Jumble Sale, litter picking and more. There was also lots of praise of the students' conduct from both visitors and stallholders.
