Reading Time: < 1 minute

Join us live from the University’s Whitworth Hall to celebrate how our students, staff, alumni and external partners are making a difference   

Thursday, 9 May, 18:00 (online) 

We’re hosting our annual Making a Difference Awards ceremony live from the Whitworth Hall, where we will be presenting our winners and highly commended awards in person. Why not tune in live on YouTube and help us celebrate the positive impact our University community is making on society and the environment.  

The 2024 shortlist includes projects as far-ranging as a student-led initiative contributing to anti-poverty strategies in Manchester, to a community empowerment program addressing education, health, economy and environmental problems in Indonesia. 

The event is an opportunity for us all to recognise, celebrate and show appreciation for the social responsibility commitments and achievements of our students, staff, alumni and external partners. 

Join our Chancellor, Nazir Afzal OBE, and President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell, live online on Thursday, 9 May, from 18:00.
