Thanks to donations from alumni and friends, current staff and students can apply for up to £10,000 to fund projects which benefit the student experience.

Previous Cascade grants have supported student-led projects such as Community First Responders, Liter of Light, Foodprint, Night Owls, Global Buddy Scheme and Vets in the Community.

Cascade runs in tandem with the University’s bespoke crowdfunding platform, Jumpstart – another useful channel to source funding for extra-curricular projects.

The current round of Cascade funding is open for applications until Monday 19 February.
