Help the Â鶹ÊÓƵ care for an exceptional art collection, advance scholarship through world-class teaching and research, and ensure every student – regardless of background – has the chance to thrive.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ Fund Challenge Week
We are incredibly grateful to our global Â鶹ÊÓƵ community for all the ways you continue to support and inspire us.
During 2–8 December 2025, your donations will be matched by a group of extraordinary philanthropists. Our Â鶹ÊÓƵ Fund Leaders have generously pledged to double every donation you make, up to £75,000 – with special thanks to TrinityBridge for their lead gift in support of this campaign. This means your generosity will have twice the impact and, together, we can raise £150,000 to support areas across the Â鶹ÊÓƵ where it is needed most.
