Giving Tuesday - Thank you for your generosity
03 Dec 2024
Giving Tuesday takes place today (Tuesday, 3 December) and is the international day of giving back
Over the past year, many of our colleagues have supported our local, national and international good causes.
We want to take the opportunity to thank you for all your generosity, be it volunteering in your local community, joining a Social Responsibility programme, taking on a fundraising challenge, or taking advantage of our Payroll Giving Scheme which has seen over £150,000 donated to great causes over the past year – your gifts really do make a difference.

Purple Pennies enables you to donate the pennies from your salary, towards three local charitable causes voted for by our colleague community. It’s easy to sign up and your donations make a big difference.
Our nationally commended Payroll Giving Scheme, Purple Pounds enables you to donate tax-efficiently on a regular or one-off basis by automatic deductions from your monthly pay. You can support our University causes, or other charities close to your heart.
Volunteering
Colleagues can get involved in a variety of volunteering activities, both inside the University and externally.
