'It has been a fantastic 19 hours since we launched our new crowdfunding project in support of the Covid Hardship Fund. Thank you so much for your donation as well as sharing with your networks. Your support is so deeply appreciated at this time. We are delighted to announce that the £10,000 in matched funding has now been unlocked.

Thanks to several more matched fund donors, we now have a further £15,000 in Matched Funding, so please do continue to promote this project to your Somervillian friends and to anyone who you think might be interested. It's wonderful to see the warmth of our community joining together to help our current undergraduates and graduates at this difficult time. With warm wishes, Sara Kalim, Development Director (Classics, 1990)'
