Hear about the difference you're making
From scholarships, grants for sports clubs and societies to giving back time and expertise, our alumni and supporter community are elevating our students' experience every single day.
“I see first hand the impact grants for student experience have on our students. For many our sports and societies are a highlight of their time at University with many making memories and friends for life. The Alumni Fund helps us keep these activities inclusive and accessible to all. Thank you for choosing to support our students, it means a lot.”

Clubs and societies bring like-minded students together. The friendships forged are so important because they provide a support network for students. The pandemic has shown how these networks help students feel less lonely and isolated. Thanks to you, we’re here for those who don’t feel connected.

Thanks to generous donors, this student-led makerspace gives free access to manufacturing facilities, helping students from across disciplines design and build their own projects.
I’ve gained so many new skills after taking on roles such as Publicity Secretary and Operations Officer. I’ve learnt how to plan events, manage communications and engage people online. I’ve enjoyed taking responsibility and feel really proud of the work we do helping to eradicate period poverty.

With weekly games and training, being involved keeps me active and fit. I've met loads of people, led training sessions and got involved in activities I wouldn't have otherwise.
