We are taking part in The Big Walk 2019, a walking challenge on Friday 28 June. We will be aiming to complete 37 miles through the Peak District starting at the University, heading out through Ringinglow down into Fox House, meeting the rest of the walkers at Bamford and continuing up through Ladybower and Bradfield before coming down to the University for a celebratory finish!

Why are we doing this? (a good question, and one we’ll be asking ourselves a lot as we trek our way through the countryside!)

We all work in Student Support and Guidance in the University, so we are committed to making the university experience as enjoyable and rewarding as possible for our students. We also all fundamentally believe that education should be for everyone, no matter their financial situation.

Scholarships are vital to reduce barriers for bright students from disadvantaged backgrounds, giving them the opportunity to have a university education.  Students who are from lower-income backgrounds often have to turn to loans to cover the cost of living. Many do not even apply to university because the costs present such a barrier.

So please donate to our page to help give students the opportunity to come and study here at Sheffield.
