You may remember us from a previous project that we ran in partnership with your university. Between 2007 and 2009 Junction49 offered students up to £750 in funding to help them develop and run their own community projects. Although this scheme is no longer running, if you're interested in setting up your own campaign, event or project, you can still get help and advice from Junction49 as described above
