Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Annual Fund raises over £500,000

21 July 2011

For the third year running Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's Annual Fund has generated over £500,000 in income, which each year is used to support scholarships,Ìýresearch and the work of departments across Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê.

Student callers A key part of this success is the role of current Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê students who phone Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê alumni to encourage them to give back to their alma mater. The most recent campaign finished at the end of last week and we saw a remarkable level of warmth and willingness to give from our 2009 graduates - the first cohort to enter Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê under the new variable fees introduced in 2006.

Over the past three years it has been graduates of the last five years who have shown a growing willingness to give back - appreciating the quality of the education and the experience they received at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê. Perhaps even more remarkable during the current calling campaign were the two gifts members of the calling team chose to make - without any prompting from Development Office staff!

In addition to encouraging more alumni to support Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê the calling campaign also provides a connection between current and former students - enabling them to share their experiences of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê.
