In just four decades, the OU has become one of the UK’s finest universities, and we’ve helped an amazing two million people build better lives through education. Now we want to give everyone the chance that you have enjoyed – irrespective of their background or circumstances.

We would like you to consider making a donation to the OU, to enable us to offer bursaries to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, provide tailored support to those with disabilities, and ensure all our students benefit from the highest quality teaching and materials.

We’ve never had such an amazing opportunity to increase our gifts in this way and we want to make the most of it. If you’d like to join in and help us raise funds to make a quality education available to everyone, everywhere, please put a reminder in your calendar for either the 7th, 8th or 9th December and donate from 10am to our Big Give campaign. We will contact you at the time to explain more about how to make your donation, and the earlier you donate the better, as the matching funding could run out!
