Birmingham Gives

'I'm a very proud member of staff of nearly 20 years, and it is here where I met my now wife, and where I have made and continue to make many close friends. I'm also in a privileged position where I can see the impact that Birmingham Gives supporters make!'

'I'm a proud alum of Drama and Theatre Arts (2014) and I've been a staff member here for almost a decade. Through the power of Higher Education, we can share what we have learned for the common good so that we can build a world where equity, justice and sustainability are realities, not aspirations.'

'Proud to be a UoB alumna and now, staff member. My life has been transformed by the opportunities I have had in Brum and hope this goes some way to helping others experience the same thing.'

'Birmingham has shaped much of my life- as an undergraduate student, for over eight years as a colleague, and a part-time masters apprentice. I donate with thanks for what it has given me, and continues to offer others.'

'Proud to be part of class of 2025. Between lectures and moments of laughter across campus, UOB became home. It's a place where I grew, challenged myself and created memories I'll carry for life. Uob will always hold a special place in my heart as the place where I discovered myself.'

'Proud to be a part of the class of 2022 and still come back to the university to share my amazing memories! I cherish and miss the university so much and hope others get the same experience!'

'I am only a recent graduate, but I am glad that UoB brought me together with some wonderful people, taught me new ways of looking at the arts of cinema and literature and gave me my first taste of adult independence. I would happily walk under Old Joe with my head held high'

'A university experience I'll always cherish. The years at Birmingham passed quickly, but the memories will last forever...'

'6 years at Birmingham shaped me, laid the foundations for a fulfilling career and left me with lasting friendships. It's a great institution upholding free and creative thinking. Long may that be continue through the generations of students following.'

'The university supported me when all hope was lost. I couldn't meet up with my fees and was not sure I would be able to take my final exams. Through a grant, the university supported me in that difficult time. I will always be proud of UoB.'

'So proud my parents, a lorry driver and housewife saw my graduation and nearly 30 years later I watched my son's in the Great Hall with Dr Dyson still playing the organ'

'Birmingham massively supported my time at Uni and I couldn't have attended without them. Time to start giving back!'

'Donating to enable someone to benefit from the amazing opportunities that UoB offers and that I benefited from 40 years ago.'

'A wonderful university and campus that provided me with so many study and social opportunities. I hope these donations can help students struggling financially to enjoy their studies at the university.'

'Birmingham will always be in my heart! As a former staff member and now friend of the University, I am excited to get involved with Birmingham Gives again this year from afar. Proud to be a part of this fabulous community!'

'Very impressed by the quality of the research being done in Birmingham'

'Proud to support the talented scientists at Birmingham who are at the forefront of breakthroughs and discoveries.'

'Because every young person deserves the chance to study at Birmingham!'
