Submit your idea and receive support and advice from the Junction49 Helpdesk Team

Meet other Junction49ers to discuss your ideas

You may remember us from previous projects that we have run in partnership with your university. Between 2007 and 2009 Junction49 offered students up to £750 in funding to help develop and run their own community projects. We then ran another project between October 2009 and March 2010 where Junction49 offered students up to £200 in funding to help them set up a project around an issue they were passionate about. Students received support from two Junction49 Facilitators based at your university who were able to offer support and guidance in how to set up and deliver a project. If you would like to get in contact with your facilitators, please email a message to help@junction49.co.uk and we will pass it on for you. Although these schemes are 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.
