Donor Report | TRINITY TAKES TO THE STREETS

Making a Difference

Last year, due to the tremendous goodwill from our alumni, staff, students and friends of the College, TTTTS raised over €110,000 which was distributed in full to Trinity students within the Student Hardship Fund, Trinity Access Programmes (TAP), and the National Institute for Intellectual Disability (NIID).

This funding is providing critical support

for students who are facing huge pressures in these adverse economic times.

As well as raising vital funding, TTTTS was a landmark initiative for the College and sparked a collective community enterprise with students, alumni, staff and friends all getting involved.

Thank You

The Student Hardship Fund played a crucial role in getting me through the end of undergraduate and the beginning of postgraduate studies when I was in College myself. Twenty plus years later, it really was time I thought about giving some of that back.”

TTTTS 2010

TTTTS is a fl agship fundraising initiative; but it is also a key part of Trinity’s commitment to building a community of support for some of the University’s priority engagement and outreach activities – encouraging volunteering, deepening relationships with our neighbours, contributing to educational development in the area and developing the involvement of our alumni.

We are looking forward to continuing to make a difference and to keeping the spirit of TTTTS alive in the Trinity community. Find out what’s happening and how you can be part of it at:

Your support has made all the difference.

The success of TTTTS in 2009 is owing to the enthusiastic participation and generous support of Trinity students, staff and alumni. Thank you to all for your part in demonstrating the power of the Trinity community coming together for a common purpose.

A big thank you also to all those who sponsored runners, donated prizes or participated in events.

I’d been involved with the Trinity Access Programmes (TAP) previously and the idea of doing something to help TAP students really appealed.”
