The Telephone Campaign is more than just a way to stay connected with our alumni – it's the heartbeat of our regular giving programme. Your support empowers us to continue transforming students' lives year after year.
From 27 October to 17 November 2024, we’ll be reaching out to alumni like you to support The Ignite Fund. Since 2016, this fund has empowered almost 800 Westminster students, including 122 this year alone – the most ever in a single round.
Our ambition is to uplift even more students, but we can’t do it without you. With demand far exceeding available funds, your support through the Telephone Campaign ensures we can keep fuelling the dreams of Westminster’s brightest talents. It’s in our DNA – it’s what we do best.
Our Telephone Campaign overview will show you how your support can be a turning point in the lives of future leaders and innovators. Discover how the Ignite Fund is already transforming lives and how you can be part of this incredible journey - empowering students today to shape a brighter tomorrow.
In addition to raising vital funds, our dedicated team of student callers is eager to hear about your Westminster experience and share exciting updates from the University. They’ll also fill you in on the growing list of alumni benefits and opportunities available to you.
We’re thrilled to announce that the Quintin Hogg Trust will match every donation to the Ignite Fund pound for pound, doubling your impact at no extra cost to you. This means your gift will go twice as far in helping our talented students continue their education and achieve their dreams.
Maximising alumni support is crucial – not only does it directly benefit more students, but it also strengthens our broader fundraising efforts. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays a significant role in the success of our students.
If you'd like to connect with us this November, please update your contact details by emailing [email protected]. Every gift makes a difference.

“My deepest appreciation for the funding given through the Ignite Fund. I got to take classes, look at data, and communicate with partners that I wouldn't have been able to without the help of the Ignite Fund. Though it may not seem like too much to some, the ability to make progress like that on a new business as students is invaluable, as myself, and the supporters of the Ignite Fund are surely well aware of. It was amazing to be able to explore this business with the safety net of the Ignite Fund behind us, knowing that we could pursue it and spend some money on important things without having to worry about taking money away from our groceries and bills. These opportunities are ones that I will never forget even long after I've graduated. I hope to donate to the Ignite Fund myself once I am financially able to”
