In 2021 and 2022 Northumbria University ran three successful
Alumni Telethon campaigns which collectively raised over £75,000 to support
those most in need across the University community. Over these three month-long
campaigns thousands of alumni from across the country were contacted by a team
of current student callers with the aim of raising funds to support the University’s
Higher Education Without Barriers campaign.
Northumbria University’s Higher Education Without Barriers
campaign provides a range of financial initiatives, mental health and wellbeing
services and community-based projects to make participation and progression in
higher education more achievable for academically talented students regardless
of their social or economic circumstances.
In the video below Student Caller Ahsan Zafeer describes his
experiences of working on the call team and the importance of the Higher
Education Without Barriers campaign.
