Birkbeck’s summer telephone fundraising campaign has come to an end after five weeks of calling. The team of dedicated student fundraisers spoke to over 1,100 of the College’s alumni.
The £61,506 in alumni donations will support students and enhance their Birkbeck experience by providing bursaries, employability workshops, disability support and ensuring they have access to the best facilities during their time here.
Shakeela, a returning caller studying Social Sciences said: “I’ve been on the call team for over two years now, and I love talking to Birkbeck alumni in each campaign. It’s a great feeling being able to raise vital funds for Birkbeck, whilst also getting some invaluable advice from alumni who are well-established in their chosen professions – I find it very rewarding”.
Telephone campaigns allow Birkbeck to stay connected with alumni by ensuring that we have the correct contact details, and also inform them about upcoming volunteering and mentoring opportunities.
If you’d like to receive a call from one of our students in the next telephone campaign, please get in touch with Tara Millington.
