Eton Action Fair
The Eton Action Fair is Eton Action’s biggest charity fundraiser event of the year!
Eton Action transforms Eton College’s grounds into a community fair every year to fundraise for five chosen charities. Games, stalls and performances are organised by the students and staff of Eton College to raise money for charities supported by Eton Action (an independent charity conceived of and founded by Etonians to promote charitable activity and social responsibility). In addition to this, many outside organisations, mainly charitable foundations, are invited to bring stalls and raise funds for their own causes. Every year, the fair draws thousands of visitors from Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead, as well as parents and friends of Etonians, and raises large sums of money for a wide range of charitable causes. The income from all these events is pooled and divided between charitable foundations and projects chosen by the committee and voted on by every boy in the school.
For this academic year 2026/27, Eton Action is raising funds for:
Busy Buttons CORE Charity
Busy Buttons is a local charity based in Windsor promoting art for mental wellbeing in young people and fostering positive community relations.
