Philanthropy helps Lucy become the ‘go-to’ inter-disciplinary College for those committed to tackling global challenges

Since our foundation, philanthropy has played a vital part in providing opportunities for marginalised or under-represented students to study at Cambridge and it is just as crucial now to help us identify untapped potential from those who haven’t had access to world-leading education, ensuring that their experience here is unsurpassed and that they can grow to become future leaders. 

From innovative outreach initiatives and bursaries, to programmes aimed at closing academic attainment gaps and initiatives to support career progression, the impact of gifts to Lucy Cavendish College will be felt long into the future.

The College and its community wish to thank everyone for the ongoing support, providing opportunities at Cambridge for individuals from under-represented and disadvantaged backgrounds who have the passion, commitment and leadership potential to address the global challenges that characterise our societies in the 21st Century. Together, we will bring about a movement for change at Cambridge and beyond.
