- The University of Manchester: Greatest Need

Here at Manchester, we do things differently. This was the world’s first civic university, in the world’s first industrial city.

For 200 years, our University has given bright people the skills they need to build a better future. 

Now we need your help. From giving disadvantaged students the opportunities they urgently need, to tackling global challenges with bold and brilliant solutions – your gift to Manchester will help to forge a healthier, fairer, and more sustainable world.

Your gift will be used wherever it will make the most difference. Thank you.
