Story
Today is your chance to change the life of a new generation of Greenwich student.
For over 130 years, the University of Greenwich has empowered students from all walks of life to realise their dreams and make a difference in the world. From our pioneering history as Woolwich Polytechnic in 1890 to our ambitious 2030 vision of Education without Boundaries, we have always believed in the transformative power of higher education to unlock our students’ potential.
Financial barriers are among the many challenges facing young people today, preventing them from reaching their full potential.
That’s why as alumni – you play a vital role in removing these obstacles. Your generosity ensures that every student, regardless of their background, can fully embrace the Greenwich experience.
Your donation – whatever the amount – to the Greenwich Annual Fund can provide emergency assistances for students facing unexpected hardship:
£25 could support our Food Voucher Scheme giving students access to nutritional meals.
£50 could provide a student with emergency funding for groceries.
£250 could provide a student with breakfast on campus for a term.
£1,000 could help a student continue their education despite financial hardship.
Ahmad, Crowdfunding Recipient
Last year, thanks to the generosity of our alumni community, we contributed an additional £10,000 to the Food Voucher Scheme. This vital support helped students like Ahmad, a BSc Construction Management student, who was deeply grateful for the assistance he received.
While Ahmad's story is just one example, there are hundreds more students who could benefit from your continued support.
Balancing studies and living expenses while far from home wasn’t always easy, but the assistance from this fund helped lift a significant weight off my shoulders. Covering essentials like groceries, travel and laundry was no longer a source of stress, allowing me to focus fully on my studies..
Whether you studied at Thames Polytechnic or today at the University of Greenwich, from pulling all-nighters in the library to sunny picnics in the park, the Greenwich experience is like no other. The legacy of Greenwich is built on generosity – and with one click, you will be continuing this tradition and make a difference that can be felt for generations to come.
