Everyone is invited to our Making a Difference Awards!

25 Mar 2022

A date for your diary - Tuesday, 10 May, 6pm - 7:30pm

Join us live from the Whitworth Hall to celebrate how our staff, students, alumni and external partners are making a difference.

Everyone is invited to join our Chancellor Lemn Sissay OBE and our President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell, live online at our Making a Difference Awards for Social Responsibility.

The Awards, which recognise and celebrate the social responsibility achievements of the University’s staff, students, alumni and external partners will be held on Tuesday, 10 May, 6pm - 7:30pm, live on YouTube and Facebook.

After two years of virtual presentations, we’re fortunate to be hosting our 2022 awards ceremony live from the Whitworth Hall, where we will be presenting the winners and highly commended Awards in person. So why not join our annual event to help us celebrate the many ways in which our University community is making a difference?

The 2022 shortlist includes projects as far ranging as using drones for tuberculosis diagnosis in Nepal, to combatting fast consumerism through building a sustainable student community.

The event is an opportunity for us all to show our appreciation for the positive impact that our University community are having on society and the environment.

This year marks a special year, as Lemn will be hosting his last ever Awards, since he will be passing on the Chancellor baton this summer. Tune in to watch Lemn perform live.
