A UNIVERSITY of Bradford fund set up to support students who are struggling amid the pandemic has now raised over £10,000. The Emergency COVID-19 Hardship Appeal reached the milestone - just a month after its launch - after a number of generous donations from alumni, staff and members of the community.

The news comes as volunteers from Bradford-based organisation the VIP (Volunteering Interfaith Programme) gave up their time and even spent their own money to launch a meal giveaway to students.

Prof Costa said one of the challenges of the Mars mission is ensuring that the crew continues to function well once NASA is no longer able to maintain an instant dialogue with them. “If the journey from here to Mars takes six months and they stay on the planet another six months and it’s six months to get back, that’s 18 months.
