The Bangor Fund Telethon

The Development and Alumni Relations Office runs the Bangor Fund Telethons every spring and autumn, spanning four weeks on Sunday through Thursday evenings.

During the campaign, our student calling team reaches out to alumni to connect, reminisce about their favourite memories, and support their alma mater.

As part of the alumni community, you may get a phone call from one of our students to talk about your time in Bangor and about the Bangor Fund.

The Bangor Fund aims to support as many projects as possible that add a margin of excellence or an element of ‘additionality’ to the student experience.

Our team of students have recently completed our spring telethon campaign with great results. Our wonderful alumni have pledged to give a further £62,000 to the Bangor Fund over the next five years. These gifts will allow The Bangor Fund to provide extra bursaries, field trips, well-being activities, sports opportunities, and services, which all make a tremendous difference! 

Persida Chung, Development Officer, said, "The Telethon provides a great opportunity for student callers to connect with past generations of Bangor University students, to share news and experiences while strengthening the wider University community. We are particularly grateful to all alumni and honorary fellows who generously took the time to share their insight into their post-Bangor lives and careers. The advice and words of encouragement given to our students as they are about to make significant decisions hold immense value to them."

Thank you again to those of you who donate!
