Giving Days at Glasgow…
On 05 and 06 November, the University of Glasgow will celebrate its fourth Giving Day - and with your help, we can make it our biggest and best yet!
As we celebrate 575 years of Glasgow, Giving Day is a chance for our global community to come together, celebrate what makes our University so special, and reflect on the difference we can make when we unite behind a shared purpose.
Over the past three Giving Days, your generosity has made a real difference - helping more students access a Glasgow education, supporting students facing unexpected challenges, funding sports bursaries, enhancing the student experience and contributing to vital medical research.
Now, we’re looking to the future. Together, we can build on this impact and help light the way for the next generation.
Whether you join an event, take part in an online activity, share #GlasgowGives or make a gift, every action counts.
If you have any questions or wish to be removed from Giving Day communications, please get in touch. You can opt out here.
Join us on 05 and 06 November and help #GlasgowGives light the way for the next generation.
