Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell President and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Manchester

I appreciate this is a very worrying time and this decision was taken to protect the health and wellbeing of our students and staff, which is our primary concern. These are challenging times and unprecedented arrangements. I am very proud of the way our University community is rallying together in these difficult circumstances. The most important thing we can do over the coming weeks and months is to support each other.

Manchester is the only university in the UK to have social responsibility as a core goal. For our alumni and staff, this means we have long been committed to social responsibility through organizing initiatives such as Fundraising Campaign for Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust where money are to be raised to buy PPEs for NHS staff.

As 2020’s off to a rocky start, we are reminded of the importance to share, care and love each other. Apart from offering “UoM NoW” Amid COVID-19 alumni event series featuring social responsibility webinars built around alumni and the Centre’s areas of expertise, we are trying to help however we can to give back to the community.

We'd like to raise money to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) to support frontline NHS staff who are combating the COVID-19. Let UoM act now and spread our purple love!
