Charity fundraising involves the whole school community in raising money and awareness for good causes.

Senior Department

• The Senior Department elects a charity for the year, which becomes the major focus of charitable giving; charities alternate between an overseas charity and a UK based charity. This focus does not preclude other charitable giving, and each year there are a number of smaller charities which benefit from the school's fundraising efforts.
• Each Form in the Senior Department has its own Charity Representative who encourages their form members to organise events. The Sixth Form Charity Committee steers the charity events programme, and meets regularly to discuss future events. Events organised include mufti days, a Christmas Fair, numerous sporting activities, and other events, such as talent contests. Individual Form activities include cake sales and raffles. Students are informed of the charities supported at whole-school assemblies by visiting speakers and via the Charity notice board.
• In 2010-11, some £20,000 was raised. ‘The Laura Crane Trust' was the school's major charity, receiving some £10,000. Other charities attracting funding included ‘Get Kids Going' and the Fistula Hospital, Adis Ababa, and £5,000 was put aside towards the purchase of an electricity generator for Nakanyonyi Girls' School in Uganda.

Junior Department

• The Junior Department has a strong association with the local Shooting Star Hospice, regularly raising funds for the charity and taking part in charity events, such as the Shooting Star Carol Service.
• Charities supported this year included: ‘Children in Need', the Baraka Community School, Morocco, UNICEF and ‘Welcare'. In total, pupils raised some £4,000.

Whole School

• In total, in excess of £24,000 was raised
• Some 100 shoeboxes of Christmas gifts were collected by pupils in both the Junior and Senior Departments for Samaritan's Purse.

Nakanyonyi Girls' School in Jinja, Uganda

• In 2007, LEH forged a link with Nakanyonyi Girls' School in Jinja, Uganda. Following on from the Head Master's visit in May 2009, two Sixth Formers and two members of staff visited NGS for three weeks in the summer of 2010, leading a number of educational projects at the school.
• Pupils also raised funds to send to the school, along with books for the school library and other educational equipment.
• Currently, £9,000 has been raised towards the cost of an electricity generator for the school.
