Many of the University of Dundee Alumni agree that their best University experiences stemmed from their participation in University Sport. The Sports Union Alumni Fund is a new initiative which has been founded by former and current students to enhance the sporting opportunities available at the University of Dundee.

The Fund aims to help Sports Clubs secure the best equipment in order to improve their performance. Above all the fund has been established to encourage participation and enhance the experience for our University Sports Clubs. Key to this is our ability to recruit and retain the very best coaches available to ensure that our clubs continue to compete at the highest level possible while developing that unique, welcoming community that is so special at our University. With developments and innovations in sport, ensuring that our clubs have the best equipment to be competitive against other universities such as St Andrews and Edinburgh, is another crucial part of the continued progress of our Sports Union.

We know from our annual member survey responses that University sport gives so much to those who take part. Sports Clubs play an important role in developing sporting ability and fitness, building social networks, learning new skills both in sport and in running a club team, and enhancing the student community. Sport has also been proven to reduce isolation and improve mental health and wellbeing.

We are calling on our Alumni to support the establishment of a Sports Union Alumni Fund by becoming a Champion and making a donation to the Fund. Your support will allow our students to enjoy even more success as part of our sports clubs both competitively and personally.

You may choose to donate to the general fund and support a number of sports clubs. However, if you have an affiliation to a specific sports club you may wish to support them directly. 10% of all gifts will be held in the General Fund, to help all our clubs stay innovative and competitive.
