Alison Barlow, Community Relations Officer for the University comments:
“So many community organisations face ever increasing funding challenges and the University is once again delighted to be able to offer support in the form of our Community Donations Fund. We are particularly delighted to be able to offer our Special Projects Fund this year which we hope will allow community groups to consider some very special projects which they might have previously considered unachievable.”
