Purple Pounds, feel good every payday

- The University of Manchester: Supporting Research

Our University is a global research powerhouse. For almost 200 years, world-changing discoveries here at Manchester have been made possible by gifts from our generous community. And over the years, those breakthroughs have saved countless lives.

By making a gift, you’ll join a worldwide community of donors who help to scale-up our research, at a time when it’s needed like never before. Postgraduate researchers are crucial to our research here at Manchester. They’re worker bees that power every discovery.

Gifts from our community are already helping early-career researchers make an impact in critical areas – like developing new treatments to help more people survive stroke. But there's still so much more to do – in areas that affect us all – like cancer, inequality, and the climate crisis.

You can make sure the brightest minds are helping to power our research. You can help find solutions to society’s big questions. And you could even help us make the next big Manchester discovery.

Every penny you give through your pay will help to create more opportunities for early-career researchers. So you can be sure that you’re making a difference.
