SUPPORTING THE AREAS OF GREATEST NEED
•
We were delighted to open The Greatest Need Fund to applications this year for the first time since fundraising began in 2017. This vital fund supports a range of hugely valuable projects which, had it not been for the wonderful generosity of our alumni and friends, may have been difficult to fund. Of the 31 applications from across the University, which were assessed by a panel* chaired by Pro-Vice Chancellor Professor Martin Stringer, twelve were successful and received funding of between £672 and £3,672. From digitising the catalogue of collections at the Egypt Centre, to improving access to information for disabled children and carers, you can read more about some of these inspiring projects in the pages that follow. We’ll also keep you updated on these and future projects though our e-newsletters, including :
Student self-disclosure for those experiencing sexual violence
• • • •
Facilitating Conversations about Race
Creative writing afterschool clubs for Swansea primary schools
Townhill Children’s Zone
The Virtual Art Gallery
*For more information about any of the funded projects, on the constitution of the panel, or if you would like to sit on next year’s panel, please contact Bill Saunders at w.saunders@swansea.ac.uk
