Thank you for answering our call
This year’s alumni phone campaign was a great success - over 1,000 of you took part and generously raised over £140,000. Thank you!
You’ll be funding more hardship bursaries and more volunteering projects, which help our community and make our students' CVs stand out from the crowd. Your gift will help someone like Ben, who told us: "Your funding has enabled me to complete my course. Without it I would be unable to pay my next instalment of rent and still be able to buy food. I cannot stress enough how grateful I am, as someone with no financial support from a partner or parent. I would like to sincerely thank all of you donors. When I am in a position to contribute to this scheme myself, I will certainly be doing so."
You can find out more by watching our video. And if you didn’t get a chance to take part, you can make your gift. Thank you again - you’ve given a massive helping hand to those in need. You’re our heroes!
