Alumni Telephone Appeal 2025

1 - 23 November 2025

Our annual telephone appeal will run from 1 – 23 November for the Student Opportunities Fund.  

The campaign calls are also a fantastic opportunity for our student callers to gain valuable advice and inspiration for the future. The insight and career advice our alumni can offer students is greatly appreciated.   

The Student Opportunities Fund provides bursaries and employability grants for students needing financial support. Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends we can ensure that all students, irrespective of background or circumstances, can realise their potential.   

Keep your eye out for a call from a phone number with an 0191 area code. Our team of student callers will ring on weeknights between 6.30 pm and 9.30 pm, on Saturday between 10.00 am and 5.00 pm, and on Sunday between 2 pm and 8 pm.  

If you’d like to request a call with one of our student callers, please email the Individual Giving team at annual.fund@durham.ac.uk or you can call us on: 0191 334 8611.
