Bristol University has launched a campaign to celebrate its centenary with the aim
of raising £100 million by 2014. The income will be used to benefit research, students
and also the local community.

 

For example, the education project, with a fundraising target of £1.5 million, aims
to lift Bristol schools out of the bottom quartile of league tables. The University
plans to expand the existing ‘Access to Bristol’ project, which supports schoolchildren
who might otherwise not have the opportunity to do so to go to university.

The community-sport programme has a target of £250,000 and aims to appoint a community
sports officer, establish a community sport-leader award and set up a community 
coach development programme, which will train up to 80 coaches and officials to 
volunteer in the local community.

 

Other areas to benefit include drama and veterinary services.
