WHAT IS GIVING DAY?

Giving Day is an opportunity for alumni and supporters around the globe to come together across 36 hours to raise as much money as possible for three incredible causes:

• support students from disadvantaged backgrounds

• fund cutting-edge research in the fight against breast cancer

• help postgraduate researchers make new breakthroughs at your university

Every penny from your generous donations will go straight to one of these causes. What's more, giving early will make sure Giving Day gets off to a flying start! Thanks to generous donors, all gifts will be matched until we reach £40,000 − so you can turn your gift of £50 into £100, while a £1,000 gift would be immediately double to £2,000!

Giving Day is your opportunity to make a life-changing impact.

THAT WAS THE DAY

As well as looking to the future, it’s also a moment to reflect on your time studying here. What was campus like during your student days? What memories stand out most? Nottingham is a common thread that links all our alumni - no matter if you studied here in the 1950s or 2000s, or moved here from across the globe. Your time at Nottingham was something special.

Throughout Giving Day, you will have the opportunity to look back at the University of Nottingham through the decades - and we would love to hear your stories and see your photographs!

Email your favourite memories to supportus@nottingham.ac.uk, and we’ll share as many as we can before and during Giving Day. Academic experts and staff from around the university will be commenting on images from the archives and looking back at the period they represent.
