"A hugely important and inspirational project that deserves support. It is so difficult to imagine the true effect of these conflicts on asylum seekers; this fund provides a real way for them to rebuild their lives and ambitions."

Professor Saul Tendler, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost

Thank you so much for all your support of this campaign so far, and to Professor Tendler for his kind words and donation to the campaign. The work we do now will make an invaluable difference in helping to make a University education more accessible to people who currently face significant barriers in accessing higher education.

So thank you again, and please keep spreading the word!

And we're off with a bang!

Thank you to all you lovely University of York students for voting in this year's YUSU Elections! Thanks to your votes, the University has generously donated a whopping £2,301.20 to this year's One More Education appeal!

Combined with donations to YUSU RAG charities IDAS and Action for Children, your engagement with this year's YUSU Elections raised £2,876.50 !

That's got us over a fifth of the way to our target already - let's keep it up! Remember, it only takes an action as small as a vote or a small donation to create a massive change.
