A MESSAGE FROM PROFESSOR SIR HOWARD NEWBY

Dear donors,

As we all know, this has been a challenging year and, like many institutions across theglobe, the University has felt the impact ofturbulent economic times. However, thanks to thecontinued generosity and support of ourbenefactors and alumni, we remain in a strongposition to face the future and continue to offerstudents the highest quality experience tosupport their path to graduation.

As well as funding scholarships and bursaries, legacies and donations to the University have helpedto improve facilities across campus; thanks togenerous contributions to the Benefactors’ Fund, theUniversity Library now boasts a collection of almosttwo million books and journals, and provides accessto more than 140,000 rare printed items and 417,000electronic books.

The Better Births Appeal, which will bring togetherworld-class researchers in a new centre based at theLiverpool Women’s Hospital, has been fortunate tobenefit from substantial financial support from individualdonations, organisations and charities, as has thePhilip Leverhulme Equine Hospital at our Leahurstcampus, enabling the facility to retain its position asone of the world leaders in equine treatment.

Donations of any size make a difference. Whetherhelping to buy a new piece of gym equipment, fixinga broken flute or funding a new laboratory, every giftaffects the lives of all those associated with theUniversity. And, with the government’s MatchedFunding for Voluntary Giving scheme, the Universityreceives an additional £1 for every £3 of eligiblefunds received, maximising the benefits of everydonation. During 2008/9, more than £2.5 millionworth of philanthropic donations were eligible for thescheme. Matched funds will support the provision ofpostgraduate scholarships, enabling us to attractsome of the world’s finest students to a truly world-class University.

I hope that you enjoy reading about the many waysthat donors have helped to transform campus life overthe last 12 months, and I would like to take thisopportunity to offer my personal thanks for yourcontinuous and unfailing support.

With kind regards,

Professor Sir Howard NewbyVice-Chancellor

BENEFACTORS’ FUND

The Benefactors’ Fund is a great opportunity for our alumni, friends and supporters to have a direct, positive impact on the University ofLiverpool and its students. All gifts, howeverlarge or small, are greatly appreciated and helpto make a real difference.

Since the relaunch of the fund back in June 2007, a staggering £320,000 has been raised which hasfacilitated several projects across campus. You mayremember when you completed your donation form,or when you spoke to a student caller, that you wereable to specify which area of support you wished todirect your donation to: areas of greatest need;improvement to learning facilities and services;scholarships, bursaries and student hardship or one of our highlighted project areas.

AREAS OF GREATEST NEED THE LIBRARIES This is perhaps the most important area of theBenefactors’ Fund as it allows the University toprovide support reactively across campus. Thisflexibility was demonstrated this year with the libraryreceiving almost £60,000 which was spent onpublishers’ costs for academic journals; a vital toolfor students and researchers.

University Librarian Phil Sykes said: "We had abudgetary shortfall of several hundred thousandpounds this year, arising from the fact that we buymany journals from overseas, and because the pound

has declined dramatically against the euro and the dollar. This hashelped enormously to mitigate that problem and has enabled usto continue to maintain one of the best e-journal collections inthe country.”

STUDENT VOLUNTEERING PROGRAMME £40,000 was awarded to Liverpool Guild of Students (LGoS) todevelop a student volunteering programme. Volunteering allowsstudents at the University to make a difference in the localcommunity, while also helping them to gain confidence in a workenvironment, experience new challenges and enhance their ownstudent experience.

Guild President Danielle Grufferty said: “Volunteering is afundamental part of the student experience as it allows students todevelop beyond the lecture theatre, putting their skills andknowledge into practice. It also helps to develop relationships inthe wider Liverpool community, supporting local organisations bydelivering essential services in their area. With this generousfunding and support, we can fulfil our desire to become a leadinginstitution for student volunteering.”

"The scholarship has helped my life dramatically as ithas allowed me to fully focus on my degree. It hasoffered me much-needed support in this difficultchallenge and is playing an important role in helpingme to accomplish my goals and dreams."

CATHERINE HORTON

(BA Law)

“I would like to thank you for the generouscontribution that you have made to the University ofLiverpool. I cannot express how grateful I am. Thisscholarship has allowed me to focus wholeheartedlyon my studies without having to worry about thefinancial aspect of pursuing higher education.”

ANNA JONES

(BVSc Veterinary Science)

“My scholarship will make a huge difference to myeducation and future financially as there are high costsassociated with being a Veterinary Science student,with limited opportunities to earn money duringholidays because we have to do work experience. This award will help to ease the financial pressureonce I have qualified and I am very grateful for that.”

More than 50 student callers have helped to raise moneythrough the Benefactors’ Fund telephone campaigns,contacting alumni to ask for their support.

Joy Uyanwune is a third-year Anatomy and Human Biology student:

“I really enjoy talking to alumni, especially when I get to speak to people who have studied in my department. It’s nice to get a different view of the University from say 15 or even 50 years ago. It helps me to appreciate the Universitymore and feel like I am a part of something which is sovaluable to the city.”

Jeremy McKinney graduated this year with an MEng inAerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies:

“Being a student caller gave me the opportunity to talk to some really interesting people. It’s a great way to start givingsomething back to the University.”

The University would like to thank the following companies fortheir generous support in providing prizes for student callersthroughout the Benefactors’ Fund campaign this year:

The University invests millions of pounds in the libraries and ensures that the core teachingrequirements of all subjects are met, typicallyspending £800,000 per year on books. The Librariesappeal, through the Benefactors’ Fund, has so farraised nearly £16,500, which has allowed theUniversity to purchase more books, enhancing the resources available to students.

Phil Sykes, University Librarian, said: “I’m absolutelydelighted by the response so far to our library appeal.Through the generosity of our alumni we’ve alreadyhad an additional £16,500 to buy books to supportthe teaching and research of the University. Thismakes a real difference to the quality of what weprovide and helps us to maintain our position as one of the country’s pre- eminent research libraries.”

The University Library is celebrating the achievementof an exceptional satisfaction survey in the InternationalStudent Barometer Survey, receiving the highest ratingamong the Russell Group, achieving a higher scorethan the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
