Together we will make more discoveries and improve lives
When we launched York Unlimited, we set out on a mission to make discoveries and improve lives.
Our supporter community came together through the campaign to break barriers and solve global challenges.
As we move into the next phase of philanthropy at York, we are working even harder to secure a brighter future for all. We are setting bigger, bolder and more transformational ambitions. Ambitions which have only been made possible through the achievements of York Unlimited. We will be adopting new, innovative ways of thinking to support students at every stage of their educational career and will be asking more path breaking questions in our research to find solutions to tomorrow’s challenges.
The legacy of York Unlimited lives on.

When we launched York Unlimited, we said that there were no limits to what we could achieve together.
The last few years have proved that we were right. The founders of our University wanted to ameliorate human life and conditions, and cared about widening access to education more than almost anything else. 60 years later, you, our community, have shown just what remarkable things we can achieve together, to turn these dreams into a reality.
Thank you for being part of our community and helping to transform lives. Let’s now look forward to seeing what groundbreaking achievements we can make over the next 60 years!
