Giving Days at Glasgow…

This year we celebrated the University of Glasgow's third Giving Day on 02 and 03 October 2025!

Giving Day is an opportunity for our entire global community to come together, celebrate what makes Glasgow so remarkable, and showcase what we can achieve when we unite for a cause.

Over the past three Giving Days, your unwavering generosity has helped more students access a Glasgow education, provided critical hardship funds for those facing unexpected challenges, funded over 20 sports bursaries and enabled student-athletes to excel in their studies whilst achieving great things in their chosen sport. Your support has also enhanced the student experience by supporting 42 staff and student projects - ranging from Chapel Choir tours and Sign Language Cafés to sustaining the Glasgow Guardian, creating sanctuaries on campus, and advancing outreach from local to global scales. Your generosity has also fuelled medical research, bringing hope for a healthier future for everyone.

Over Giving Day's 36 hours a variety of events and activities brought together alumni, staff, students, and friends worldwide. Together, we ensured that Glasgow remains not just one of the world’s leading universities, but a university for the world.

There are many ways to get involved: attending events, sharing posts on social media, participating in online challenges and activities, or making a gift. Every year, we rely on as many people as possible to get involved- we hope you will join us next year. Or you can still join our Giving Day Abseil on the 6th November - more information below!

This year your support went towards three key fund areas: The Access to Opportunities Fund, Student Experience, and Global Health. Learn more about why these areas need your support by clicking on the pages below.
