New doors open for students thanks to University award

Primary Education students Heather Bowman, 26, and Lucy Almond, 21, are both in the final year of their studies at the University of Sunderland and both live in the city.

From Disney to Marvel - lockdown couple put movie magic into new business

A life-long love of performing not only brought Katie Stubbs and Declan Marshall together but they’ve turned their passion into a successful entertainment business with the help of University support. As well as living, working and acting together, the couple are also students at the University of Sunderland and tapped into a scholarship fund, in partnership with Santander, to get ‘A Magical Moment’ off the ground during the first lockdown.

Graduate provides food, shelter and care for those in need

When Sunderland MBM graduate and PhD student Peter Asuata launched a foodbank more than a year ago, little could he have predicted how much demand for the service there would be. He was determined not to allow the lockdown to stop providing support to those in need. Not satisfied with helping others through food donations, Peter managed to secure funding to purchase a minibus which he uses to distribute food and essential items door-to-door to those greatly affected by the virus.
