The University has committed to contribute a total of £8m to the development, with £1.3m still required to help fund a wide variety of areas within the Aquatics Centre.
Every gift brings us closer to completion and there are a number of areas which you can support specifically, including a range of naming opportunities, alternatively you can make a gift to the Aquatics Centre fund to be used where the need is greatest. As well as seeking individual donations and corporate support we are encouraging community fundraising which provides you with the opportunity to have great fun while fundraising.
