"During my time at Queen's I'm lucky to have received support from multiple programmes through SU Enterprise and also from the Annual Fund, to launch my mobile app business idea, so I wanted to take a moment to say thank you very much for all the support - you allow students such as myself to pursue their ideas."

“Through programmes such as the Make it Happen Fund and Dragon’s Den, I’ve received funding to work on an idea that I’ve had since first year called ‘Nights Out.’ This is a mobile app that’s exclusive to students and it allows them to see where is busiest with their peers. This should allow students to save money and enjoy their university experience as much as possible.”

We have been working on projects such as planters and clean ups and wall painting etc. to beautify and make a sustainable area around Queen's. It's been a pleasure working with the students and mentors here in the society and it's been an endearing experience for me as a student.

“The Queen's Engineering Society had the privilege to be supported by the Queen’s Annual fund, receiving funding towards the Women in Engineering event, which was held as a discussion forum, creating relaxed conversation and allowing female students to ask questions which may not be spoken about enough for their careers in the future ( for example, equal pay, discrimination in the workplace, or returning to work after having a child).” Sophie
President of Queen's University Belfast Engineering Society
“This funding has allowed us to connect, collaborate and communicate with a much wider audience. The podcast has generated a lot of interest from both students and the public and will be officially launched at our annual Patient Engagement Day this year. This project will be hugely beneficial to all those involved, giving students experience in podcasting and interviewing and we hope to use this in the coming years to widen the circle of research and engagement. We could not have achieved this without the help and support given by Queen's Annual Fund." Barbara
Research Assistant, Belfast Ophthalmic Reading Centre
“I was luckily awarded these funds, which allowed me to organise and deliver 4 mindfulness events around topics such as “Getting a Good Night’s Sleep”, “Avoiding Stress & Burnout” and “Understanding Stress & Anxiety”. These events were attended by mature students from across the University, who benefitted greatly from these extra resources for support. It was lovely to see these students socialising and building relationships in such a meaningful way. I would like to thank the Queen’s Annual Fund and its supporters for providing the funds for this successful project." Clodagh

The Queen's Annual Fund helped the Mountaineering Club to host the Irish Intervarsity Climbing Competition 2023. Without this support we would not have been able to pay for the venue hire and route setting fees. It gave not only our members, but 300 other students members of various Irish university mountaineering/climbing clubs, the opportunity to compete on a national level on behalf of their university. The training required for such a competition cannot be understated which positively affected many people’s physical fitness and mental health.” Oisín
Gear Secretary, Queen's Mountaineering Club
“SCRUBS is the largest medical society at Queen's and each year we organise events to help students engage in learning and gain skills for work and exams. We held the Emergency Medicine Conference in February 2023, where students had the opportunity to learn from qualified doctors and practice skills such as airways, paediatric life support and cardiac arrest management in the state of the art 'InterSim' suite. The generous contributions from Queen's Annual Fund allowed us to run an event which attracted over 60 students including Queen's students and Ulster University Paramedic students." Rachael
Emergency Medicine Co-Ordinator, SCRUBS Medical Society
