Your generosity is helping the University:

  • Provide students from low-income backgrounds with support through the Liverpool Bursary and hardship fund, ensuring that students, like Lily, have the opportunity to access all Liverpool has to offer.
  • Provide educational opportunities for young people facing disadvantages including the opening of a new educational IntoUniversity hub in Kirkby.
  • Give future entrepreneurs the chance to benefit from entrepreneurial education through the transformational Sir Peter Rigby Centre for Enterprise, which is due to open on campus soon.

Our donors have funded ground-breaking research, including a project that seeks to make new discoveries and interventions in Parkinson’s disease, along with further projects to advance nanoscale research and women’s health.

Thanks to our supporters, we’ve been able to achieve some extraordinary milestones and you can read about them in the 2024 annual donor report.
