Thank you, my amazing colleagues, students and friends of Nottingham, a truly global family!

With all your contributions, we have exceeded our original target in less than 72 hours. But please don't stop giving and continue to help us make a difference.

Most of us already know the seriousness of the coronavirus in China, but probably fewer people are aware of its scale and impact on hundreds of millions of people who have been virtually housebound across China since the outbreak. Many of our staff and students will have families and friends in China and we want to support them in a positive way.

So, working with a group of colleagues at Nottingham, we are raising money to help purchase medical supplies and protective clothing for frontline medical staff at Ningbo No 1 Hospital.

We are a global family, and we care. No matter how big or small your donation may be, thank you sincerely.

In solidarity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
