Purple Pounds, feel good every payday

- The University of Manchester: Greatest Need

Manchester students and researchers have the power to change the world. From fighting cancer to supporting our hardship fund, your gifts will provide urgent support to good causes across The University of Manchester.

Every year, more than 5,000 staff, students and alumni support the University with a gift. Together, these donations support a whole range of important projects across campus.

With a gift today, you’ll provide much-needed support to the most promising people and projects across our University. Your support will inspire bright young people through our access programmes and initiatives. You’ll give students facing financial struggles the help they need to continue their studies. And you will accelerate the world-leading research taking place across our faculties, by helping more early-career researchers join our community.

Every penny you give through your pay will go directly to our causes. So you can be sure that you’re making a difference.
