Support our vision

When the £60m Making a World of Difference Campaign launched in 2010, its ambition echoed that of the University – to use our outstanding, teaching, research and facilities to make a major impact on global society.

As our first major fundraising effort since the 1920s, it took a significant leap of faith. It was launched in the belief that those who had studied here or had been touched by our work, held the University in such affection and esteem that they would help us to achieve that vision.

That faith was not unfounded. Five years on, our Campaign is making a crucial contribution to the University, its students and its impact on the world.

Thanks to our donors, we are raising young people’s aspirations, encouraging talent, developing new medical therapies, giving society the tools to better manage global resources, extending our cultural and artistic contribution and providing an outstanding campus.
