On top of the world –
thanks to you
Contents
The generosity of our alumni and other friends never
ceases to impress me.
This is driven home to me on a daily basis when I see how our
students, staff and local community are benefiting from your
philanthropic support and how it is enriching their lives.
Whether it is providing a scholarship for an exceptionally talented
student, helping them to make the most of all that a Bath education
can offer, enhancing the range of books and journals available in
the library, providing high-quality facilities such as the new Student
Centre or funding ground-breaking research, your gifts are having
a real and increasing impact on the University of Bath.
In these challenging financial times your donations, whatever their
size, are more important than ever and I very much appreciate each
and every one. Your support is making this wonderful university
even better and for that I am immensely grateful – thank you.
Professor Glynis Breakwell,
Vice-Chancellor
I would like to say a huge thank you for your support
this year, on behalf of each and every student at the
University of Bath.
In my time as a student, and now as Students’ Union President,
I’ve been overwhelmed by the array of activities and opportunities
we offer, which increase and improve every year. From investment
in new sports equipment to support for volunteering and individual
grants, your generosity continues to enhance the student
experience.
This year the University embarked on its most exciting project since
I arrived as a Fresher nearly five years ago. Our brand new Student
Centre, which is just about to open, will transform the lives of our
students in the years ahead. We are extremely grateful for the
donations which have made this amazing project possible and look
forward to telling you all about it in next year’s Donor Report.
Once again, thank you for your continuing support and generosity.
Daniel O’Toole (BSc Chemistry 2009),
Students’ Union President
W
elcome to the University
of Bath’s Donor Report
for 2009-10. Through
this publication we hope to be able
to show you the difference that your
support, and that of over a thousand
other graduates, friends, companies,
charitable foundations and other
organisations is making to this
University.
2009-10 was another record-breaking
year. Over 1,800 donors pledged gifts
worth over £4.36 million, 120 per cent
more than the previous year. This is a
fantastic total that has enabled us to
enhance the lives of more students
and fund more new research than
ever before.
Your generosity has helped us to
reach the target set for the University
by the Government-backed Matched
Funding scheme over a year earlier
than originally planned. As a result,
we have been able to claim an
additional £1.35 million in funding that
has increased the value of most gifts
by 50 per cent.
I hope you enjoy reading this Donor
Report, in which we are able to show
you how important your gifts are and
the real difference they are making to
so many lives.

Gifts are directed to areas
throughout the University,
supporting students and staff,
academic excellence and
extracurricular activity.
Legacies tend to be small in
number but large in value, as do
gifts from companies and charitable
entities; very many alumni give
smaller average amounts.

T
he Government programme to encourage gifts to
universities in England has been a phenomenal
success. All qualifying gifts were matched by
the Government at a ratio of 1:2, i.e. adding 50p per
£1 donated.
As the statistics opposite show, this has been a record
year for the University, and one of the key reasons has
been the added value that donors can see on their
gifts. Improvements have been made to the University’s
communications programme and our events, as well as
how we report on the effects of gifts we receive, but during
difficult economic times this scheme has certainly played
its part.

As Roger Whorrod (profiled overleaf) says: “I thought it
was an amazing deal. The Government doubles the money
you put in – it normally takes half of it away – that’s the best
thing I’ve ever had from them!”

Thanks a million
O
ne of the University’s first graduates,
Roger Whorrod (BSc Electrical Engineering 1965,
MSc Electrical Engineering 1970), and his wife
Sue have donated a gift worth £1 million to the University
to boost research into green technologies. Their gift is the
largest ever received by the University from a living donor.
Although Roger studied at the then Bristol College of
Science and Technology, he received his degree from
the newly created University of Bath at a ceremony in the
Assembly Rooms. After pursuing a career in engineering,
he became an entrepreneur and set up several successful
engineering businesses in the West Midlands.
“I was heading for an apprenticeship at 15, because I’d
failed my eleven-plus. So going to University was absolutely
life-changing. I loved every minute of it.
“I hope our gift enhances the reputation of the University,
which has come a hell of a long way in a short time. I was
here at the very beginning; it has really progressed and
I would like to continue that association.”
The University will use the Roger and Sue Whorrod Fund
to support its Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies
through the endowment of a professorship – the Whorrod
Chair in Sustainable Chemical Technologies – and funding
research fellowships to attract outstanding early-career
academics to Bath.
“I hope our gift
enhances the
reputation of the
University, which
has come a long
way in a short time.”

The Whorrods’ donation benefited from the Government’s

with charitable Gift Aid relief, doubled the value of their gift
to the University. Roger said: “It was a fantastic incentive.”

“I’m delighted to help students of today who are

Julian Felstead (BSc Engineering 1976)
The Whorrods believe that their investment in the future of
science and engineering will pay off – as Roger says: “For all
we know, in five years time a University of Bath researcher
might come up with something that saves the world!”
Roger explains: “I wanted our gift to go to research because
I see it as an investment on which we will get a measurable
return. The Centre may come up with world-shattering
discoveries. It’s an exciting place with vibrant PhD students
– we love it!”
A greener future
The Whorrods’ latest gift is not their first. In 2005 they
set up a £1,500 annual bursary scheme for engineering
undergraduates. The first two Whorrod Bursary recipients
graduated recently with First Class honours degrees.
Its research focuses on developing sustainable chemical technologies to
reduce future carbon emissions – from sustainable biofuels to renewable
plastics and from hydrogen storage to the concentration and capture of CO2.
Sue says: “Every year we give a dinner for the students.
They work hard, they enjoy what they’re doing and it’s great
to see how they mature over the four or five years of their
course. When you’re our age it’s nice to be in touch with
younger people. They’re a first class bunch and it’s been
a pleasure to know them.”

Roger believes passionately in
philanthropy: “I abhor how people
can spend £300 million on buying
a yacht. I think that if you are
lucky enough to make money, you
should provide for yourself, but if
you have any left over you should
do something good with it. We
could have used the money
to buy a home in the south of
France, or we could have given
it to the University – we get more satisfaction out of giving it
to the University. A phrase I love is ‘Give with a warm hand’,
which means give while you’re alive, not when you’re dead!”

The Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies, established in 2008,
brings together some of the brightest scientists and engineers to find ways
to mitigate the effects of global climate change.
Professor Matthew Davidson, Centre Director and the first academic to
hold the Whorrod Chair in Sustainable Chemical Technologies, says: “The
Whorrods’ incredibly generous gift will have a major impact on our research
by enabling us to bring new world-class expertise to the Centre in important
research areas such as clean energy and renewable resources.”

The value of research
R
“Attracting the brightest
young minds and
working with world-class
academics is what this
University is all about.”
esearch transforms lives. A sustainable energy
solution or a pioneering medical breakthrough
frequently starts out in a university laboratory.
Our global reputation for excellence attracts the highest
calibre students and leading academics from across
the world. That’s why gifts to support research, and
researchers, make a real difference.
A gift directly to your University can provide funding for
research into a particular area of interest, rather than going
through an intermediary charity. A number of donors have
done just that this year – here are some examples:
Attracting the brightest young minds
A joint approach
Hip and knee replacements can rescue
sufferers from a lifetime of pain. After
an 18-month campaign, volunteers
and grateful patients have reached
their target of £20,000 to fund a PhD
Scholarship at the University’s Centre
for Orthopaedic Biomechanics.
“Everything has changed: I am not
in pain anymore; I have learnt to
negotiate walking through the streets
without bumping into anyone. Before
my hip operations, when people saw
me coming they automatically moved
out of the way.”
The largest gift came from the Enid
Linder Foundation. Trustees Jack and
Audrey Ladeveze say: “We hope that
our gift will enable research to be
carried out that would otherwise be
postponed or even abandoned. We
do not expect each and every piece of
research to produce miracle results but
rather contribute to the sum of
knowledge in this field which
impacts the lives of so
many people.”
“Everything has changed, apart from
one thing – my strong belief that
people like me have a real need for this
life-changing operation.”

Pushing the boundaries
Dr Michael Froggatt, a friend of the
University, has made two gifts to
support research into nanoscience –
a field which is pushing the boundaries
in electronics and computing.
He followed his substantial contribution
to the research programme by the
creation of the DD Chittey/GW
Froggatt PhD Scholarship in Carbon
Nanomaterials, in honour of his two
grandfathers.
He says: “I made this donation
because I believe that recent results
show the University of Bath punches

well above its weight in international
quality research, and that the
competitiveness of the UK as a
whole is enhanced by having as many
universities as possible delivering
this level of work. The research will
be of strategic importance for the
microelectronics and computing
industries in years to come, and I hope
that the PhD scholarship will allow a
first-class student from overseas to
benefit from the academic environment
at Bath and in turn make a valuable
contribution to UK research.”
Managing pain
Esther Parkin’s only son, David,
lectured in the Department of Physics,
and when Esther passed away she
left her money to her son. The Esther
Parkin Trust was set up by David to
support educational activities and has
continued to do so since his death
in 2002.
The Esther Parkin Trust has made
a gift of £750,000 to the University.
£500,000 will support the David
Parkin Visiting Professorship, which
will attract outstanding academics
from abroad to work alongside
our own. £250,000 will support six
international PhD Studentships in
any field.
Professor Alastair Spence, Chair
of the Trust, said: “This gift is a
wonderful way of marking the
impact that both David Parkin and his
mother Esther had on the University
of Bath.”
Professor Glynis Breakwell, ViceChancellor of the University of Bath,
said: “We are hugely grateful to the
Esther Parkin Trust for this wonderful
gift which recognises our position as
an international centre of research and
teaching excellence. Attracting the
brightest young minds and working
with world class academics is what
this University is all about. Gifts to the
University provide an opportunity to
make a difference, by continuing to
attract high calibre students, retain
quality teaching staff and enable
outstanding and innovative research
all in the best facilities.”
The Annett Charitable Trust’s gift
funded a PhD Scholarship to explore
ways in which technology can help
young people to manage lifelong,
disabling pain. The work is part
of the University’s Centre for Pain
Research, which has already achieved
several firsts: developing the first
ever rehabilitation treatments for
children with chronic pain and the first
comprehensive pain measurement
tools for children and their parents.

antander is one of the University’s largest
corporate supporters. With a significant, and still
growing, UK presence, Santander’s link with the
University of Bath is a model for its relationships with
universities across the UK. A committed supporter of
Higher Education in all the countries in which it operates,
Santander donated €88 million to universities around the
world in 2009.
At Bath, Santander’s

Given Santander’s prominence in Formula One, it seemed
natural that they should extend their support to the
University’s Formula Student team – TeamBath Racing.
The Formula Student competition is a final year project
for 15 Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering
students, sponsored by the Institution of Mechanical
Engineers, in which students create a single-seat racing car.
TeamBath Racing has been one of the top two UK teams at
Silverstone for the last four years, finishing eighth out of 76
teams from around the world in 2010. With Santander
now a funding partner, watch out for their rise to the top
of the podium!

Leadership Giving Circles
E
very gift the University
receives makes a difference.
There are some gifts, however,
which deserve special recognition
because they help to lead the way
in creating ever greater opportunities
for students and staff across the
University. Leaders motivate,
challenge and inspire others –
leadership gifts do too.
The Leadership Giving Circles
thank and celebrate those who
have donated £1,000 (Sulis) or
£5,000 (Minerva) or more in the
financial year. The membership
list is published here, and in the
University’s Annual Report, to
demonstrate the increasing number
of alumni, friends and institutions
who are willing to stand up and be
counted in this way.

ost gifts to the University are from individuals, whether alumni, staff,
parents or friends. However, we are also fortunate to have a number
of corporate supporters, for example Santander (see page 8).
Our student placement scheme means that we have unrivalled corporate
contacts, which many companies have now developed into a philanthropic
relationship.
Rolls-Royce, for example, has been a research partner and recruiter for many
years, but also now supports our Big Bang outreach programme to encourage
schoolchildren in the south-west to consider degrees in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics.
Increasingly, companies donate prizes to recognise undergraduate achievement,
both to reward excellence and raise brand awareness. Recent prize donors include
BDP (for Architecture & Civil Engineering); picoChip and IQE (Electronic & Electrical
Engineering); PwC (Management); RWEnpower (various); and Pfizer (Pharmacy).
In the last few years Ibstock Brick has made significant gifts to fund activities to
benefit Architecture students, including support of an international study tour. Another
long-standing relationship is with Ede & Ravenscroft. Best known for providing the
gowns at graduation ceremonies, Ede & Ravenscroft has funded an annual prize for
the best postgraduate research student for the last 20 years. This year’s winner is
Tobias Warnecke from the Department of Biology & Biochemistry.
Thank you to all of our corporate supporters (listed on page 28).

Scholarships change lives
S
cholarships give students from every continent the opportunity to achieve
their dreams, reach higher in their academic endeavours and make their
own contribution to society, in the UK and worldwide.
Many of our scholarships are made possible by gifts to the Alumni Fund, which
each year sets aside a proportion of its income to this area. An increasing
number of scholarships are donated by individual alumni and friends of the
University, who support one, or more, students throughout their degree.
This year your gifts have helped to change the lives of 95 scholars.
Here’s what your generosity means to some of them:
I had been working as a waitress since
I was 15 to try and fund myself through
university but it just wasn’t enough.
Without my Alumni Fund Scholarship
I would never have made it to university
in the first place. As soon as I am
able, I’m going to start giving myself,
because I want to give someone else
the same chance that I have had.
Sally Phillips (Chemistry 2008-12)
The Lisa May Scholarship has given
me a fantastic opportunity to learn
without financial obstacles. The
knowledge that I can continue without
financial concern has provided me
with peace of mind, so that I can
12
focus on my course. The scholarship
is not only a financial award, but it is a
compelling reason for me to aim high
and reach my potential.
Karl Handscomb (Economics 2009-12)
I want to emphasise the feeling that
a person gets when they achieve a
scholarship. To have someone that
doesn’t know you but still chooses to
believe in you and is willing to support
you is indescribable. I want to work
hard so that I don’t disappoint those
who have believed in me and I will
never be able express adequately
how much I appreciate it.
Thomas Smillie (Mathematics 2009-13)
Donor Report 2010
“Thank you so much
for believing in me.”
When I found out that I had been
awarded an Alumni Fund Scholarship,
I was overwhelmed at what a great
financial relief it was to someone such
as myself, being the first person in my
family to go to university. Soon after
starting, the Careers Service put me
in touch with an international NGO in
Beijing, which offered me the chance
to spend a month working with them.
Without my scholarship the expense of
this trip would be too great, however
using the money that you have
contributed I am now able to attend
the internship, directly making an
impact on my future career prospects.
Stuart Dee (Politics with International
Relations 2009-13)
The Hertzian Fund Scholarship has
made a huge difference to my course.
Not only is the monetary help a great
boost for purchasing items to enhance
my further learning, but the scholarship
itself is an incentive to work to the best
of my ability. I also believe obtaining the
scholarship was significant in securing
my placement, which I hope will make
next year a fantastic experience.

generosity of our community of donors
at Charter Day. We were delighted to
welcome over 100 donors and their
guests to the 2009 event, hosted by

of the University’s scholars.
We expect academic excellence
from our scholars but many go on
to win other awards during their
time here.

to extracurricular life, as Station
Manager of 1449 AM URB Radio
was recognised by the award of
the Santander Prize for Leadership
in the Media. He also won the
Endsleigh Student Employee of
The Year award for his work with
the University’s Careers Advisory
Service.

Scholars go the extra mile
Global giving
The University
of Bath receives
donations from
alumni and friends
in 34 countries all
around the world.
We thank all those who have
given to scholarships this year
and look forward to continuing
to report on their achievements
in the years to come.
Lucy Ferguson (Sports Engineering 2005-11) is a Jeremy
Fry Memorial Scholar, which is awarded to engineers
who display outstanding design promise. The scholarship
scheme is funded by the James Dyson Foundation to
mark the work of the Bath-based founder of Rotork,
Jeremy Fry.
Lucy is studying for a Master’s while also pursuing her
sporting ambitions. She is a talented triathlete who
this summer came second in the European Triathlon
Championships in Ireland (20-24 age group).
Susan Mawemuko (MBA 2010), a Steve Huckvale
Scholarship recipient, is the only student from a UK
university to have made the final of the international MBA
Student of the Year Award. Born and raised in Uganda,
Susan gained her first degree from Makerere University,
Kampala. After graduating, she volunteered on education
projects to raise awareness of the deadly Ebola disease,
then joined Makerere University School of Public Health,
where she now works as a Program Officer.
Dr Eleanor Morgan, Director of Studies for the Bath
MBA says: “Susan has made outstanding contributions
to all aspects of the programme and both students and
lecturers have benefited from her insights. She has played a
particularly significant part in encouraging other international
students to have the confidence to contribute more actively.
She is keen to play a mentoring role in the future to young
women in her home community and will be an excellent
ambassador.”

Donor Report 2010
Despite training 20 hours a week for her sport, Lucy has
also maintained her academic progress. By deferring
some of her modules and studying part time, she has
consistently secured good 2.1 marks. Lucy says: “I have
always participated in sport to a high level, and although
I believe academic work to be a priority, I think sport and
academia complement each other. Working hard in one
allows you to have a full break from the other.”
We wish Lucy well in everything she does, both on the
sports field and in the exam hall!
Steve and Carol Huckvale, whose gift set up
the Scholarship, say: “Susan’s short-listing
to the final of the MBA Student of the Year
is a phenomenal achievement. Having now
met Susan on a number of occasions, you
quickly start to appreciate her depth of
knowledge and capability as well as someone
with tremendous determination. As one
can imagine, if our scholarship has helped
make it possible for Susan to develop
her undoubted talents and grow her
knowledge, it is a source of considerable
satisfaction to us.”
The winner will be announced in
November. Good luck Susan!

ore than 1,250 graduates of the University of Bath live in the USA.
The University of Bath Foundation Ltd is a non-profit organisation run
by alumni volunteers, which exists to allow residents of the USA to make
tax-efficient gifts to support the University.
This year gifts to the Foundation have been used for Alumni Fund projects and
postgraduate scholarships for outstanding students from the USA. Current scholars
are University of Maine graduate Chad King, who is studying in the Department
of Social & Policy Sciences, and David Kane who is working towards an MSc in
Aerospace Engineering. Originally a graduate of the University of Washington, David
says: “My time here has been very enriching and I am confident that what I have
learnt will prove invaluable in the future when I partake in multinational engineering
projects. I am very grateful for the contribution that you have made to my tuition!”
Canadian taxpayers are also able to make gifts to the University of Bath tax efficiently,
as the University is recognised as a charitable organisation by the Canadian tax
authorities. We are working towards a similar recognition in a number of
European countries.

We remember with thanks
A lasting reminder
Two men who enjoyed very different relationships with the University during their
lives have each left an enduring mark through their estates.
A devoted academic
Frank Wallace
was one of the
University’s longestserving professors,
at the heart of
the Department
of Mechanical
Engineering from its inception. On his
death in 2009, his children transferred
a portion of his estate to the University
to set up a scholarship in his memory.
This endowed fund provides financial
help for Chinese postgraduate
students working in automotive
engineering.
Professor Gary Hawley, Dean and
Medlock Chair of Engineering at the
University, said: “Frank supervised
many Chinese students during his
time at the University so it seemed
appropriate for his legacy to continue
to support students after his death.”
Frank’s son, Mark Wallace, said: “The
University was so much more than
just a place of employment for Frank.
It was somewhere he felt incredibly
comfortable, surrounded by likeminded individuals who respected
him for his formidable intellect.
We therefore thought it was fitting to
set up this scholarship in recognition
of the professional and personal
fulfilment that the University provided
Frank during both his career and his
retirement.”

“The University
was so much more
than just a place
of employment
for Frank.”
A committed graduate
Despite the demands
of running a successful
business, Jeff Trendell
(BSc Economics and
Administration 1970)
kept up a keen interest
in the University, and
particularly its sport – having played
in the 1st XI football team as a student.
When he died in 2009, Jeff
left £25,000 to the University in his Will.
The University has used Jeff’s legacy
to create the Jeff Trendell Sports
Scholarships. The first half dozen
scholars, starting in October, include
a 19-year-old hockey player knocking
on the door of the senior GB squad,
studying for a BSc in Social Sciences,
an England U21 Netballer and the
current UK junior 110m hurdles record
holder.
We thank Frank, Jeff and their families
for these gifts and look forward to
following the progress of the young
scholars who will carry the flame
of their association with the University
of Bath in years to come.

T
he library is at the heart of our University, and for students it feels
like a second home, especially just before exams when it is the
most crowded building on campus!
Many of our donors – alumni, parents of students and other supporters of the
University – make a valuable contribution towards the Parents and Friends
Library Enhancement Fund. Now in its third year, the appeal has raised
£40,000 – we received £14,000 in this year alone. Your continuing support
means we can invest in so much more than set text books; recently we have
purchased several reference works, which allow students to read around
their own subject specialisms, and also broadened our range of cultural and
recreational reading.
Building library stocks is a long term investment and offers a long-term
payback – the donations already made by hundreds of parents and friends
of graduating and continuing students will be of real benefit to generations of
future students. Personalised book plates can be used by donors to record
their gifts and serve as a lasting reminder of the person in whose name the gift
was made.
Howard Nicholson, University Librarian, says: “I wish to express my gratitude
to all who have supported the Library over the past three years, on behalf of
the many students who are benefiting from your generosity.”

Pioneering Placements
F
or today’s graduates, getting a foot in the door of the workplace
has never been so tough. The University of Bath recognises
that undertaking professional work placements can improve our
students’ chances of success. More than three in five Bath students
now combine theoretical study with practical experience, in doing so
gaining the unique perspective that is so highly valued by employers.
Gursimran Thandi (Psychology
2007-11) combined her academic
ambitions with a personal goal to
improve her Spanish, pursuing a
research placement at the University
of Barcelona to study language
development in infants. She says:
“I would like to thank the Alumni Fund
for their generous contribution which
went a long way to ensuring that I was
able to secure this placement.”
Most placements are paid positions within a UK office or laboratory.
However, every year a handful of students set their sights further
afield. Last year Alumni Fund placement grants, of up to £1,000 each,
helped 23 students pursue a range of unpaid placements worldwide.
Destination: Madagascar
Harri Washington (Natural Sciences 2007-11) earned her
stripes as a student caller for the telethon campaign. Thanks
to an Alumni Fund grant, she led a team of students on a
research placement to Madagascar. The team travelled to a
previously unstudied area of north-west Madagascar, where
they spent seven weeks surveying the area’s biodiversity.
Harri stayed on in Madagascar for a further six months
as a field assistant on a Mangoky River expedition. She
said: “This gave me the opportunity to work with some
Malagasy university students, and reminded me how much
of a difference extra funding can make. This was my third
experience in the field whilst still an undergraduate, whereas
for the Master’s students I worked with it was their first.”
“As a result of the findings of the expedition I have been
invited to the Student Conference on Conservation Science
at the University of Cambridge, normally only open to
postgraduates. I have been given an
amazing opportunity to mingle with
researchers and the talks and
seminars will help further my
studies.”
Frazer Higgins (BSc Biology 2009), who accompanied Harri
to Madagascar, said: “I intend to pursue a career working in
conservation research. Throughout the expedition I gained
an understanding of local flora and fauna which, along with
the teamworking and communication skills I developed,
promise to stand me in good stead in the future.”
Furthering research
Stephanie Watkins and Ruth Thomas (both Psychology
2007-11) received grants to take up placements in New
Zealand. Stephanie worked at the University of Christchurch,
comparing the effectiveness of cognitive assessment
methods used to treat depression. She is about to have her
first piece of work published in an international journal.
Ruth worked in a research lab on two longitudinal studies:
the developmental effects of children born pre-term and
maternal methadone use during pregnancy. Ruth said:
“I feel that I have gained the kind of experience that has
not only confirmed my interest in child psychology,
but has also opened my mind to the possibility of
further study.”

Nichola Dennehy (Psychology
2007-11) stayed closer to home,
working as a forensic psychology
assistant in a UK prison, where she
worked on a programme to challenge
anti-social behaviour. Nichola says:
“The placement has enabled me to
make the link between theory and
application, which will help me in my
final year at university. I would like to
say a very big thank you for my grant
and thank you to all the people who
have donated and made it all possible.
I hope to be able to help one day
myself.”
Going polar
Ben Lane (Mechanical Engineering
2006-11) was picked as part of the
2041 Inspire Antarctica Expedition in
March 2010, where he worked with
world-renowned polar explorer
“I would like to say a
very big thank you for
my grant and thank
you to all the people
who have donated
and made it all
possible”
Robert Swan OBE
(right). The trip
aimed to raise
awareness about
the impact of
environmental
changes on
Antarctica and students were trained to
develop and enhance their leadership
skills. Ben says: “This expedition
provided me with an unparalleled
opportunity to motivate and enthuse
others. The contacts I made and
experience I gained will be invaluable
to help me in achieving a leading
position within industry, where I can
enhance my passion for engineering as
a mechanism for change.”
Thanks to our graduates, the Alumni
Fund continues to make these
wonderful grants possible –
we hope to bring you more reports
from our pioneering placement
students long into the future!

Enhancing the student experience
U
niversity is about much more than studying. Belonging to a
sports club or society sparks lifelong friendships, uncovers
unexpected talents and helps our students mature into wellrounded individuals who are increasingly sought after by employers.
Your generous donations support a huge variety of extracurricular
projects which encourage innovation and create new opportunities.
Every year the Annual Fund Panel (see page 25) allocates grants to
support out-of-hours academic pursuits, student societies and sports
clubs. Here are some examples of projects supported this year:
Meet Simon
A new face (and body) arrived in the University’s Pharmacy
Practice Suite this year, courtesy of the Alumni Fund.
‘Simon’ is a SimMan3G human simulator, who can be
programmed to respond to medication and display the signs
and symptoms of common clinical conditions. Dr Denise
Taylor from the Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology,
thanked donors: “Your generosity has enabled us to produce
a Pharmacy Practice Suite with the facilities to develop
pharmacy graduates who have the ability to become leading
practitioners of the future.”
‘We made an app for that’
A grant has enabled the Department of Computer
Science to set up a new optional module, buying Wii and
smartphone hardware, for which students have developed
applications such as a ten-pin bowling game and a phonecompatible internet browser. This investment means that the
department’s brightest students are now able to gain handson development experience, which will be invaluable when
competing for top jobs after they graduate.

Ball machine
Dressed to impress
The University Hockey Club put
an Alumni Fund grant towards the
purchase of a ball machine which can
be used to fire balls at a variety of
speeds and angles to help the team
in training. This machine has been
used throughout the 2009-10 season.
Club chairman Jonny Mills says: “The
players reap huge reward from this
facility. Many players in the club believe
the most enjoyable training sessions
of the season have been those when
the ball machine has been used and
players regularly request that their
coaches incorporate the machine
into training.”
This year the Alumni Fund supported
the annual Bath Rag by paying for
attention-grabbing costumes for our
Rag Raiders. Rag supports many
national and local charities, including
hospices and care for premature
babies, and student volunteers develop
valuable creative and teamworking
skills as they organise their fundraising
activities. The costumes certainly
helped in attracting members of the
public to our collectors, and nearly
£8,000 was raised from Rag Raids
this year.
Flooring the opposition
Floorball, or ‘unihoc’, has a growing following in the UK.
This high speed indoor sport is played inside a rink, with
lightweight plastic sticks and a plastic ball. Last summer the
University Floorball Club purchased a new rink thanks to the
Alumni Fund. Now they are the only club in the country able
to train regularly on a rink, and it’s paying off. ‘Bath Blaze’
teams are going from strength to strength; the 1st team
enjoyed an unbeaten season which led to their first league
title. The rink has also allowed club members to organise
a University Floorball Competition, helping to promote
the sport to other UK universities. The club has already
produced six Great Britain internationals, none of whom had
played floorball before joining the club.

Trailer-blazing
Focal point for Freshers
An Alumni Fund grant has enabled the Students’ Union to
purchase a brand new 10-foot trailer, which all clubs and
societies can use to transport equipment around the
country for tournaments and trips. James Christmas,
Students’ Union VP Sport 2008-09 and 2009-10 says:
“The effect of the Alumni Fund grant will be felt by
students for many years to come. It has made, and will
continue to make, it cheaper and easier for clubs to run
day and weekend trips away. Furthermore, the money
saved from not having to hire
vehicles and equipment can
be pumped back into the
clubs, resulting in better,
safer and more durable
equipment.”
During Freshers’ Week, the Freshers’ crew work hard to
help thousands of new students settle in to life on campus.
Last year their efforts were helped by a new marquee
which acted as a central information point on the Parade
(previously they have had to hire a marquee at considerable
cost). The marquee – purchased with an Alumni Fund grant
– helped acclimatise our Freshers to their new surroundings.
Check mate
A giant chess set, purchased with an Alumni Fund grant,
has proved a great way to promote the game to newcomers,
both on and off campus. The board popped up throughout
the summer in Bath city centre, where locals, students and
tourists challenged each other to games.

help fit out the new Student Centre.
The Centre is due to open this autumn
– we’ll be able to tell you more in next

Elite athletes
A fair wind
University windsurfers were treated
to new boards, sails, masts, booms
and a trailer, thanks to the Alumni
Fund. At the Student Windsurfing
Nationals in May one of the team
finished first to become the
national intermediate student
windsurfing champion.
Windsurfer Rebecca says:
“The kit has allowed the
club to attract more
members of all abilities
and means when we
attend inter-university
competitions we
can hold our own!”
Every year the Alumni Fund makes
a grant to help our best student
athletes compete in overseas
student competitions or to represent
their country internationally. Two
outstanding student athletes have
received support from the Fund in
2009-10.
Windsurfer Claudia Carney
(Sports Performance 2009-11)
has been selected for the Royal
Yachting Association Olympic
Development squad for 2010, as
well as the RS:X European and
World Championships. Claudia is
one of the top five British female
windsurfers and is within striking
distance of the 2012 Olympic
Games.

Good call
Who decides?
T
wice a year, over 60 students work on what is now
known as the best job on campus – the Alumni
Fund telethon campaign. We speak to around one
in 10 of our alumni each year. We hope that those of you
who had the opportunity to talk to our student callers this
year enjoyed it as much as they did.
This year four scholarship recipients
were selected to work on the telethon
team. Having benefited directly from
your donations, they feel that it’s
important to give something back
– and they’ve done a fantastic job.
Together, our four scholars raised more
money for the Alumni Fund than they
received in their scholarship grants,
ensuring that future students can
continue to benefit from the generosity
of our alumni.
“I’ve loved working on the telethon
because you get to talk to some really
amazing people who can tell you about
their careers and give you advice.
Also, it’s helped me to give back to
the Alumni Fund for the wonderful
scholarship they gave me!”

“It is great to hear how alumni on a
similar course to me have got on in

“Why I give”
G
iving to the University of Bath is a choice made by an increasing
number of people. Since it is possible to designate the purpose of
a gift, donors are making a difference to the life and workings of the
University in so many ways. Gifts are made to create scholarships, broaden
our international reach, enrich the student experience and so much more.
Some gifts have been large, some less so, but all donors are united in their
hopes for the University of Bath, its students and its researchers to succeed
and make a difference in the world. Here are some insights from those who
have made gifts this year.
Rewarding excellence,
nurturing potential
Reaching out to the
community
Tony Hall (BSc Economics 2001) set
up the Victor Hall Scholarship: “This
Scholarship is named after my father
who has taught me so much. I hope
my gift will have a real impact on the
scholars’ lives. I want to allow them to
excel in an educationally stimulating
environment with less financial burden
on their shoulders, something I was
lucky enough to have.”
Brian and Margaret Roper are
Bathonians well known for their
philanthropy and support of local
causes. Brian (Honorary DBA 2009)
was awarded the MBE in 2008 in
recognition of his contribution to
charitable work. Over the years they
have donated over £450,000 to the
University, for a variety of initiatives:
supporting arts programming, sports
coaching in the community and,
most recently, creating the Roper
Scholarship Fund, which will support
100 undergraduate students over the
next six years. This is how they view
their giving:
Nigel Smith (BSc Chemistry 1982)
created the Nigel Smith Accounting &
Finance Scholarship. He says: “While
this gift was not made to the faculty
where I studied at Bath, it is in the field
where I have made my career and
where many Bath students, whatever
their degree disciplines, will do so.
For today’s student, financing a
university education is considerably
more challenging than for my own
generation and I hope that the result
of my gift will be, in a modest way, to
encourage academically able students
to choose to study at Bath.”
26
“We support the University as it
enables us to have a hugely positive
impact in areas we care deeply about.
“Our gifts have made the wonderful
sports facilities on the University
campus more accessible to the
local community through targeted
programmes aimed at young
people and also, through the Roper
Scholarships, we have been able to
provide help for students facing the
daunting prospect of financing their
studies.”
Donor Report 2010
“I wanted to
recognise the
excellent foundation
for life that the
University of Bath
provided me.”
“We decided to focus on
postgraduates from Africa who
were interested in developing their
knowledge in the fields of Engineering
and Management – Engineering
because that is my profession, and
Management because I have spent the
last 20 years leading and managing an
international group of companies. I also
believe that the knowledge and skill
sets associated with these two fields
can be of significant help to developing
countries.
still studying. Every contribution, no
matter how small, has an impact.
Janine Morris (Management 200913) says: “If I can contribute to the
progression of another’s (and my own)
university experience, I can’t see how
that can be anything but positive.
Being a student, my contribution was
modest but if everyone developed
the attitude of not giving if the gift
wasn’t substantial, it would be almost
impossible to progress and move
things forward.”
“We have been delighted by the choice
of postgraduates to receive the awards
and have enjoyed meeting them on
a number of occasions. We have a
real sense that the money has made
a crucial difference to them gaining
access to the educational opportunities
at Bath.”
Kate Gray (BA International
Management & Modern Languages
2010) says: “So much of the student
experience is supported by alumni
funding and the more supporters we
have, the better the experience will be.
I don’t think enough people realise how
important the Alumni Fund is but I am
proud to give something back.”
Putting Bath on the
world stage
Enhancing the student
experience
Stuart Appleton (BSc Social Sciences
1976) has created the Stuart Appleton
Asia/Pacific Master’s Scholarship.
He says: “I wanted to recognise the
excellent foundation for life that the
University of Bath provided me and to
endow a postgraduate scholarship for
an area of the world that I have both
worked in and enjoyed in my leisure
time. I hope that the Scholarship will
encourage an Asia/Pacific scholar
to realise their full academic and life
potential.”
Our students pursue a huge array of
activities and opportunities alongside
their studies. Susan Harling (BA
European Studies & Modern
Languages 1990) recognises the
importance of having a broad range
of experiences on offer:
Steve Huckvale (BSc Engineering
1972, PhD Engineering 1979,
Honorary DEng 2007), along with his
wife Carol, established the Huckvale
Scholarships for postgraduates from
developing countries.
Giving to the University of Bath is a
good choice, and we are grateful for
every single gift we receive. Collectively,
we can make a real difference.
