Kindling Trust
We support the Kindling Trust, a local organisation aiming to combat climate change, biodiversity loss, and economic inequity, by challenging and subverting the industrial food system. We buy vegetables through Kindling’s operatives and have taken shares in Kindling Farm – a new blueprint for fair, organic and ecological farming.
Student financial support
A significant proportion of our students are from families that fall below the national poverty line.
We offer a range of support to ensure that financial issues don’t present an obstacle for learners, including:
- The Manchester Bursary
- The Manchester Master’s Bursary
- The Undergraduate Access Scholarship
- The Living Cost Support Fund
- The ‘Helpmegetonline’ scheme
The Works
We’ve supported more than 4,000 local people into work through our unique partnership with the Manchester Growth Company on the initiative, The Works.
