Nobody's background should limit their education or stifle their dreams. But sadly, it happens all too often. Young people from the poorest households are five times less likely to go to a top university than the richest. And the ever rising cost of living means that students are facing more challenges than ever before.

I'm helping change that by fundraising to provide scholarships and hardship support for bright students at Manchester. With our help, they'll be able to say "yes" to Manchester and achieve their amazing potential.

Students work hard to secure their places at Manchester. The Covid-19 pandemic meant students had a difficult start to their academic journeys. But they've persevered with their studies to make up this lost time.

Now they have the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

We can make sure that hard work pays off and give them the chance to make the most of their amazing potential at Manchester. With us by their side, they'll be able to shine.
