Take your place in the Dunelm Circle

The Dunelm Circle recognises the generosity and commitment of those alumni, staff and friends who have pledged legacies to the University, its colleges and departments.

Dunelm is an abbreviation of Dunelmensis, Latin for ‘of, belonging to, or from Durham’. We honour those who pledge legacies under this name in gratitude for their continuing commitment to Durham University.

 Members of the Dunelm Circle are provided with opportunities to participate in different aspects of University life and enjoy an annual celebration together. They benefit from the social aspects of membership and from intellectually engaging with the University’s staff and students.

If you have already made a provision for Durham in your Will please be in touch with our Legacies Officer so that we can enrol you into the Dunelm Circle.
