Alumni and Friends Focus Groups - London

An opportunity to let us know what you think.

The University is looking to host one day of focus groups, intended for our alumni and friend community in London on Friday 21st July, to understand individual views on being asked for support by the University as part of our ‘Making the Exceptional Happen’ philanthropic campaign.


Event details

The University is keen to increase its income from a diverse range of sources, including legacy fundraising. We therefore wish to ensure that communications on this sensitive subject matter are absolutely appropriate, and the only way to do this is to listen to the views of our alumni and friends. We are inviting you to attend consultation sessions in order that we can use every penny invested in fundraising wisely. The meetings will be informal, confidential and (we have been told by our facilitator) highly enjoyable.

The purpose of the meetings are not to ask for gifts of money; we are purely interested in developing our understanding of what our closest supporters may find appealing, or not, about our fundraising appeals and wider communications. We are incredibly grateful for all feedback received.

We aim to undertake three, separate sessions on Friday 21st July to be held at Winckworth Sherwood LLP, Minerva House, 5 Montague Close, London SE1 9BB, courtesy of Hugh MacDougald (Law, 1976). There will be three sessions, timings are below and refreshments will be provided throughout.

Session 1 - 10.00-12.00
Session 2 - 13.00-15.00
Session 3 - 16.00-18.00

Should you wish to attend one of the above sessions please register using our online form. Non-alumni guests are welcome to attend. 

PLEASE NOTE: There will be 10 places available for each session, allocated on a first come, first served basis. We will confirm your session time as soon as possible after booking. 

We look forward to hearing from you.
