What is YuCall?

YuCall is York’s bi-annual telethon campaign. Forming a key part of York’s philanthropic initiative, we are a team of 30 students who engage with our amazing Alumni over the phone.

We seek support towards a variety of charitable funds, with the aim to remove gaps in student support at York and better the university experience of our current and future students. 

At the forefront of what we do is making sure we have great conversations with our alumni, whether they are in the position to donate or not. We value the insight and career advice that our alumni can offer, as well as finding common interests and reminiscing about York. If you’re around when we call, please consider picking up the phone and having a chat with us!

It’s fascinating to speak to alumni who have been where you are and to hear their stories and of course, it’s all for an excellent cause.
