Last year Canterbury Christ Church University hosted Futures Day, our first ever fundraising extravaganza raising money for students in financial hardship.

This September its back, and this is your opportunity to get involved, gain visibility, and make a lasting impact in your local community through tailored sponsorship opportunities.

Empowering Students in Need: Your support will have local impact
Last year, funds raised on Futures Day became a true lifeline for our students. With the highest-ever demand for financial hardship support, we were able to provide essential food vouchers, kitchen and bed packs, warm clothing, and support with energy bills.

We were also able to offer scholarships to talented students from disadvantaged, low-income households, helping them access higher education and unlock their full potential.

This year, the need is even greater. More students are coming forward in crisis, and your support is crucial. By sponsoring Futures Day, you can ensure that no student is left struggling due to financial hardship.

Will you be our Headline Sponsor, put your name to our epic Gunge Tank Challenge, rise to the occasion for the Great Christ Church Bake Off, make an impact through challenge funding, or donate a prize to the Futures Raffle?
