Telephone Campaign

Each year, in February, we host our annual telephone campaign in support of the Forever Surrey Fund, which provides crucial help across the University.

This year's campaign took place from Monday 5 February until Sunday 3 March 2024.

This year, our friendly team of student callers were excited to speak with over 1000 of our alumni to share the latest Surrey news and information on how they can stay involved with the Forever Surrey Community.

Thanks to the generosity of our alumni community, we are delighted to say the 2024 telephone campaign has raised £173,684.25 to date from more than 245 alumni donors. All the funds raised will support the Hardship Fund and the Forever Surrey Scholarship programme to support our students across the University.

There is still time to be a part of the 2024 telephone campaign! If you would like to make a gift, please click here!

What is your favourite thing about studying at Surrey?

"My favourite thing about studying at Surrey is that I am never bored! I like to be on the go, with something to do all of the time. My course is very full on, as you can imagine with law, but there are always other things to do and see when I'm free. I love going to the Surrey Sports Park to cool off, but on campus, I enjoy the therapy dogs to the open mic night by the lake - weather permitting!!"
