At Manchester Metropolitan University, we believe that every talented and deserving student should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams, regardless of their financial background.

One such student shared their heartfelt gratitude for the support they received: "I cannot begin to express my overwhelming appreciation of this investment in me. Before receiving this financial support, I was juggling family life, working twelve-hour night shifts, coming straight to university from work and struggling to stay awake whilst learning. I am now able to give my studies the full commitment required. Thank you."

This is just one story among many that highlight the critical need for financial assistance in our community.

As Icon Projects prepare for their upcoming event, a personal cycling challenge where we will ride the length of Britain - 874 miles on an excercise bike set up one of our ongoing projects at mmu.

we aim to complete this challenge in just under 3 weeks starting from Monday 3rd March and finishing on the 24 of March.

we are aiming to raise £2,000 to continue providing essential support for students like this one.

We invite you to join us in making a difference. Your generous contributions will help ensure that no student has to choose between their education and their livelihood. Together, we can empower future leaders and change-makers.
