University Community Fund
Our University Community Fund enables the University to listen to ideas, adapt to local needs, and provide financial support to deliver tangible benefits for the wider community.
The Community Fund accepts applications of between £250 and £3000, including those which:
- benefit communities in the local area
- increase engagement between the University and the community
- promote knowledge exchange and widening participation
- promote environmental sustainability
- promote diversity and inclusion
- celebrate the local area’s heritage, whether physical or cultural
Round 2 of Year 5 is now open
The deadline for applications is 5pm on Friday 15 August.
In the meantime, download the latest copy of Community Connections 2025 (PDF), which showcases the many initiatives the fund has helped since its launch in 2020. The contents of the document will be available as webpages in due course.
