On Saturday 15th December 2018, Nottingham Trent University was deeply saddened to hear of the deaths of two of its students, who were studying on the BA (Hons) Fashion Marketing and Branding course.
Becky Ward and Philippa Bertram will be remembered fondly as two highly valued students, and are missed greatly by their tutors, friends and fellow students.
The families of Becky and Philippa hope that by creating the fund "Supporting Opportunities In Memory of Becky and Philippa", they will be able to support students in the Fashion Management, Marketing and Communication department to access opportunities that will enhance their University experience and future careers and help them form friendships for life.
The Fund will support:
- Bursaries to help students in financial hardship participate in events or study trips to include museums, galleries and fashion collections, which would otherwise be beyond their reach;
- Community initiatives and student events that enhance the student learning experience, and encourage students to bond and form lifelong friendships; and
- Students to take up prestigious work placement opportunities regardless of financial means.
Thank you for your support in memory of Becky and Philippa.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Blank Canvas Collaborative event and raised £1336 in support of the fund.
The FMB degree show would like to thank everyone for their kind donations to the Supporting Opportunities Fund in memory of our incredible fellow classmates, Philippa and Becky. The degree show team are ecstatic to be able to donate the money to a cause close to our hearts that we know will be achieving extraordinary and important acts for future students.
