A University of Kent student has shown remarkable dedication to making the lives of others better by generously devoting the majority of their free time to fundraise for local and national charities.

Billy Yu Lok Ng (22), a law student from Hong Kong, has spent any spare time outside of his studies to fundraise for causes such as the Anthony Nolan Trust, the Kent Law Campaign and Cancer Research.

His outstanding fundraising efforts have included him running the London Marathon, the Reading half marathon, and participate in a 12,000ft skydive for charity.

Billy also led various projects to raise money for the Kent Law Campaign – a fundraising initiative culminating with a new building for the Kent Law Clinic, which provides free legal support to the local community. Billy’s contribution included producing and marketing seasonal greeting cards and calendars, helping to raise £10,000 for the campaign. His personal fundraising contribution for the Kent Law Campaign alone exceeds £3,300.

Billy’s dedication to making a real difference through his fundraising was recognised at the University of Kent’s annual Kent Student Awards ceremony. The Awards celebrate outstanding extracurricular student achievement and the positive impact students have on University life or on the community.

If you know an amazing Kent student like Billy, nominate them for a Kent Student Award. Nominations will open in January 2016.
