Are you ready for Giving Day?

Giving Day graphic featuring a group of students wearing Loughborough hoodies. The graphic has textthe text: “Giving Day, Tuesday 17 November”. It is all in lilac and purple colours.

Giving Day is back on 17 November 2026 – and it's going to be bigger than before!

Last year, together, you donated a full Opportunity Scholarship, supported sport and research, and contributed to causes via the Loughborough Fund.  

This year, you have the chance to change lives by donating to one of three incredible causes:  

  • Opportunity Scholarships: helping students with living costs during their studies.  
  • Sports Scholarships: a chance for students to make the most of everything on offer to them at Loughborough as they combine sport with study. 
  • Loughborough Fund: supporting student hardship and projects where the need is greatest.  

Your gift can shape a student's future. By donating on Giving Day, you're part of something bigger.  

Giving Day is also about raising awareness. You can also get involved by sharing the stories across social media (tag 'Loughborough Alumni'!), talking about Giving Day amongst your networks, and wearing purple on 17 November to show your support. Starting those conversations is a huge help. And it will be great to see photographs of alumni around the world wearing purple in support of the day! 

Head to our Giving Day site to find out everything you need to know.  

Together with others on Giving Day, you will make a difference. Thank you!
