The Telephone Campaign is more than a way to stay connected with our alumni – it’s the heartbeat of our regular giving programme. Through it, your support fuels the Ignite Fund, transforming students’ lives and helping them achieve their ambitions year after year.
Supporting the Ignite Fund
From 8 November to 30 November 2025, our team of dedicated student callers will be reaching out to alumni like you to ask for support for the Ignite Fund.
Since its launch in 2016, the fund has supported over 950 Westminster students – including a record 167 students in 2025, with 70 first-generation students awarded funding this year alone.
“I am deeply grateful to the supporters of the Ignite Fund for believing in my project and giving me the resources and confidence to bring CarbonQuest to life. The fund not only helped cover the technical costs but also empowered me to grow as a developer, innovator, and problem solver. None of this would have been possible without your support. Thank you for investing in students like me and for helping spark innovation for a more sustainable world.”
— Anshul Yadav, Ignite Fund recipient
Double the difference
You Make We are delighted to announce that the Quintin Hogg Trust will match every donation pound for pound, doubling your impact at no extra cost to you. With your gift, more students will have the chance to access vital opportunities for personal and professional growth.
More than fundraising
The Telephone Campaign is also about reconnecting. Our student callers look forward to hearing about your Westminster experience, sharing University updates, and letting you know about the growing range of alumni benefits and opportunities available to you.
Why your support matters
Demand for the Ignite Fund continues to exceed available funding. With your help, we can ensure even more students – today and in the future – have the resources they need to succeed. Every gift, no matter the size, strengthens both our students and our wider fundraising efforts.
