Dear donors,

Since joining the University, I have alreadyhad the pleasure of meeting a number ofsupporters from overseas and the UK, andbeen struck, not only by their enthusiasmfor the University itself, but also by theirinterest in its future growth. Donations ofany size make a huge difference, and Iwould like to thank you for your support.

In order to help achieve this we rely on the generosityof our donors to help fund scholarships, to help improvethe University’s facilities, and to invest in the nextgeneration of high calibre leaders and innovators.

I hope you will continue to support us and, perhaps,even extend your generosity with a donation, transferof shares, or a legacy pledge. Combined with thegovernment’s new Voluntary Giving initiative (see page 7)these tax-efficient methods of giving provide a valuableopportunity for you to help us raise the funding we needfor the University to continue to thrive.

This is the University’s first publication to focus entirelyon donor-related news. I look forward to keeping youupdated and involved in our activities in the comingmonths and years, and showing you how your gifts tothe University are making a real impact on students,staff and our society at large.

With kind regards

AREAS OF GREATEST NEED

IMPROVEMENTS TO LEARNINGFACILITIES AND SERVICES

SCHOLARSHIPS, BURSARIESAND STUDENT HARDSHIPS

The University has a proud tradition of helping talentedstudents to benefit from all that higher education has tooffer, regardless of their personal circumstances.

Whether awarded based on merit or need, scholarships,prizes and bursaries provide a real opportunity for studentsto realise their full potential and academic dreams.

The Alumni Scholarships have been in operation since2000 and up to 10 are awarded each year on the basisof academic excellence, thanks to the generosity ofUniversity of Liverpool graduates through the Benefactors’Fund. During the course of their studies, students anddonors have the opportunity to meet - something whichdonors find tremendously rewarding.

Your donations are being used to invest in libraries,IT facilities and services for students and graduates,including a group tuition room in the Sydney JonesLibrary which houses a number of computers, an idealenvironment for student tuition.

Your generous donations this year have totalled almost£50,000, which has been used to facilitate a number ofprojects aimed at enhancing the student experience,including the development of the Careers andEmployability Service.

As well as redesigning the main reception area, a new,open-plan, Student Development Zone has been created,providing a range of work experience, mentoring and

volunteering opportunities for students.The University Careers Library and ResourceCentre has been updated and refurbished,and one of its seminar rooms has beenredeveloped. There is also a newopen-plan reception area forgraduate recruiters.

The Benefactors’ Fund is an opportunity for alumni,friends and supporters to have a direct and positiveimpact on the University and its students. All gifts,however large or small, help to make a real difference.

The scholarship is not just a great morale boost and ahuge honour, it pays just under two thirds of my fees andthe fact that it is renewed annually takes off a lot offinancial pressure. I chose the University because of itsexcellent standard of research and teaching and I have notbeen disappointed. I have a fantastic, motivating tutor andI’ve really enjoyed seeing how the campus continues todevelop and facilities are constantly being improved.

Financial support is always an important subject for EUstudents because we are meant to be self-funding, but, inmy experience, unlike a lot of overseas students who tendto come from wealthier backgrounds, most of us do nothave the same level of financial support from our families.The scholarship has allowed me to relax about myfinancial situation and concentrate on my studies. It wasalso a confirmation of my academic abilities and a greatconfidence boost.

As a mother of three children the scholarship meant thatI did not have to take out a loan for the masters degree,thereby putting my family in debt. Without the scholarship,this year would have been financially much more difficult.I felt very honoured to be chosen for the award but, on amore pragmatic level, I also realised that being awardedan alumni scholarship is a useful addition to my CV.

The scholarship is an amazing achievement. At themoment I am trying to save as much of it as possibleso that when I decide to pursue a career in Oral andMaxillofacial Surgery I will have some savings to studyfor a medical degree once completing my Bachelor ofDental Surgery.

Liverpool is a great city to live in. It’s not too big and it offersso much culture and entertainment. The scholarship has madeit possible for me to live and study here and to research a fieldI feel very passionate about. To put it in one sentence, withoutthis scholarship I simply could not have afforded to be here,so it has had a huge effect on my life.

The Grade II listed building, with its distinctive redbrickexterior, inspired the term ‘redbrick university’ whichbecame synonymous with civic universities establishedin the late 19th century.

Originally built to provide administrative headquarters,a library, a large lecture theatre, staff accommodation forthe Arts departments and common rooms for staff andstudents, it has now been transformed into the VictoriaGallery & Museum, and your gifts to this project havebeen used to help facilitate this transformation.

Speaking of the Victoria Gallery & Museum, CultureSecretary Andy Burnham MP said: “The University,its alumni and others deserve huge credit in havingthe foresight to invest in this fantastic project.”

A particularly generous gift of £200,000 from theestate of the late Marian Thomason, who graduated in1931, was donated by her nephew, John Thomason.

“Marian was very proud of her University,” said John.“She had particular memories of using the VictoriaBuilding, which was very much the heart of theUniversity when she graduated”.

Among many other donors, the appeal also receiveda welcome boost of £100,000 from The Linbury Trust,

The University’s iconic ‘redbrick’ Victoria Building was designedby the distinguished Liverpool-born architect, Alfred Waterhouse,in 1887 and officially opened in December 1892.

which was established by Lord and Lady Sainsbury ofPreston Candover KG.

The Victoria Gallery & Museum is open from Tuesdayto Saturday, 10am – 5pm and admission is free.For more information about the VG&M visitwww.liv.ac.uk/vgm/.

The Small Animal Teaching Hospital was opened byHis Grace the Duke of Westminster in April 2007,placing the University at the forefront of small animalveterinary care.

The referral-only hospital services the whole of the UK, as wellas providing a facility to train 600 students on the University’sVeterinary Science degree programme.

In addition to supplying an excellent teaching environment, thehospital aims to provide the very best in patient care. With thispriority in mind, this year gifts to the Benefactors’ Fund, whichhave totalled more than £15,000 for the SATH, have helped theUniversity to invest in state-of-the-art equipment for monitoringheart, blood pressure and carbon dioxide in anaesthetised dogsand cats.

The Voluntary Giving scheme is designed to encourageuniversities to increase their fundraising effortsand stimulate more interest from individuals andprivate investors.

The current level of giving across the sector, asindicated by the Ross Group survey of philanthropy,is over £200 million a year, with more than 50higher education institutions active in fundraising.The government injection of £200 million over threeyears is intended to stimulate additional private cashdonations to the sector of £400 million, meaning atotal of £600 million could be generated.

The additional funding will mean that the University ofLiverpool can maximise the benefits of philanthropic giftsmade by individuals, charitable trusts and foundationsas well as companies, in support of the institution’sstrategic priorities. This will allow the University tobecome more financially independent, enabling greatercontrol over the future direction of the institution.

Kate Robertson, Director of Development and AlumniRelations, said: “The Voluntary Giving initiative will beof great benefit as we are keen to increase both thenumbers of donors we have, as well as the amount ofsupport they give. We are already moving in the rightdirection but we hope that this new scheme willmotivate everyone to do that little bit more.”

When the newly restored Victoria Gallery& Museum was opened by HRH PrincessAnne, the Donor Board for principal benefactorswas also unveiled.

The Board lists the names of donors who have given morethan £100,000 to the University, as well as all majordonors to the Victoria Gallery & Museum appeal.

There is also a Book of Benefaction on display, whichcontains the names of donors who have given donationsin excess of £5,000 to the University.

The University has begun its appeal to raise funds todevelop The Philip Leverhulme Equine Hospital atLeahurst with help from the Bransby Home of Rest forHorses, who have awarded the hospital with a £300,000gift to create a special Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Professor Chris Proudman, Chair of Equine Studies at theUniversity, commented: “Good quality post-operative care isessential. Colic surgery is a complicated procedure and carriesa high-risk of post-operative complications unless horses arewell cared for. This donation will enable us to offer the mostcutting-edge facilities available.”

The Equine Hospital is now aworld leader in research into

colic prevention, research whichincludes the development of an

in vivo test for Equine GrassSickness, demonstration of the

role of tapeworms in specifictypes of colic, and ground-

breaking work on the seasonalityof equine colic.

The University now aims tobuild a dedicated research

facility on the Leahurst Campusthat will be an internationally

recognised centre for thetreatment of equine colic, to

facilitate research and educateand inspire the next generation

of clinicians and researchers.

PROFESSOR SIR CYRIL PHILIPS’ BEQUEST

The School of History has received a generous donation of£100,000 from the widow of Sir Cyril Philips, an alumnusof the University, to establish a scholarship in his memory.

Cyril graduated in 1934 and became one of the leading20th century historians of colonial India. His interest in thesubject was stimulated during his time at Liverpool, and hisfirst book, The East India Company, 1784-1834 was partlybased on research he carried out while he was here.

He subsequently taught for many years at the School ofOriental and African Studies, serving as Director from 1957,and later became Vice-Chancellor of the University ofLondon. Sir Cyril’s contribution to British public life wentfar beyond the confines of higher education. He served asChairman of the Royal Commission on Criminal Procedurein the 1970s, and later acted as Chairman of the PoliceComplaints Board.

Professor Michael Hughes, Head of the School of History,said: “We are very grateful for the donation, which willprovide a fitting tribute to one of our most distinguishedgraduates, and hope in due course to rename one of theSchool’s principal rooms in his memory.”
