Friends of Imperial College 2020/21 programme appeal

Given the situation with COVID-19, we had to make the difficult decision to postpone all upcoming events. It was not a decision made lightly however the welfare of speakers, colleagues and attendees is our highest priority. We are highly reliant on ticket sales to fund the running of Friends and the ability to make a difference together. In order to plan our next season's events with confidence we are seeking donations to support this.
