The University of Manchester

Our 2026 magazine spotlights Manchester's global community and the power of giving to create lasting change. Through Challenge Accepted, our fundraising and volunteering campaign, our community is taking action to tackle some of the world's most urgent challenges. Discover how colleagues are addressing prostate cancer care disparities and how partnerships are building sustainable mental health care in Indonesia. Meet alumni like Ignas and Rachel, whose Manchester experiences shaped their drive to make a difference, and celebrate 20 years of the Manchester Access Programme.
