You’re invited to Northumbria University’s Sport Dinner on October 20 at St James’ Park. This black-tie event is proudly supported by Enterprise, Santander Universities UK, Qolcom, and North East Times.
Whether you want to get together with your team and reward their hard work, network with fellow North East businesses, or just give students a sporting chance.
You can expect a drinks reception and three-course meal at St James’ Park, entertainment by after-dinner speakers from sport and business, and an opportunity to show your generosity in the charity auction.
You’ll be supporting Northumbria’s Higher Education Without Barriers Fund - helping students realise their potential at university and in the sporting arena, regardless of their background. It’s an ideal opportunity to align your CSR agenda to a high-profile campaign. One with local roots and international relevance.
Your generosity will:
- provide scholarships for underrepresented students to pursue their academic studies and develop their sporting talents as athletes, coaches or officials.
- support the development of sport volunteering and internship programmes that enhance students’ leadership and employability skills.
- fund research studentships for gifted scholars to undertake PhD studies in Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation (which ranks 5th in the UK for research power).
- provide learning resources, kit and equipment for students to reach their potential in sport and increase diversity in the sporting arena.
- extend sport participation and physical activity programmes, including the NUTHINKING mental health and wellbeing programme.
