There’s still time to enter the 2025 Making a Difference Awards
08 Jan 2025
The deadline is fast approaching, so make sure you enter or nominate someone for our Making a Difference Awards by 15 January!
Each year we invite our University community to enter the Making a Difference Awards. We have nine categories to highlight the positive impact our staff, students, alumni and external partners are making to society and the environment. The Awards are an opportunity to recognise and celebrate how we are making a huge difference to the lives of others. With a closing date of 15 January 2025, there is just one week to go before the deadline for entering the Awards. If you haven’t already, you can enter or nominate someone you know, to help provide recognition for the positive social responsibility achievements being made across our University.
Our commitment to social responsibility captures our unique Manchester spirit and heritage as England’s first civic university and we hope that you can share some ways in which you are part of this. Take inspiration from the previous winners, who found the recognition a powerful boost to continue tackling the issues they are passionate about, bringing increased attention and support to their projects.
Timothy Foster, a 2024 Award recipient, said: “Receiving this award is a great motivator for us to now push on with putting AquaPlan into action helping to secure a more resilient and sustainable food system.”
All shortlisted nominees will be invited to a high-profile awards ceremony in May 2025 to receive their Award and celebrate their commitment and dedication. This ceremony also serves as a platform to raise awareness of your work, highlighting your remarkable achievements.
