Story
Tim went to Leicester University in 1976 to study for a combined arts degree and graduated with a 2:1 in 1979.
Tim thoroughly enjoyed his time at Leicester, both the University and the City, and recognised that he left with much more than just a qualification. While signing up for his degree course in music he met his lifelong best friend James (Jim) Stewart. Tim was a proficient pianist, and also played the cello and trombone.
About ten years ago he and Jim visited Leicester to see their old haunts and this rekindled his interest in the University. He became involved with the Alumni and was a keen supporter of the Student Opportunities Fund.
Gifts made to the Student Opportunities Fund recognise individual potential and support some of the most talented and deserving students and enable them to continue their education at Leicester to the highest level.
The Fund offers vital support in a variety of ways including Alumni Research Scholarships, Hardship Awards, other awards, prizes and Music Scholarships, helping to promote a culture of excellence, raising ambitions and academic standards.
It is the family's wish that any gifts received in memory of Tim will go to the Student Opportunities Fund, a cause very close to his heart.
