We are delighted to introduce the Adam Redfern Memorial Fund.
This fund has been set up in memory of former De Montfort Students’ Union Vice President Media and Communications, Adam Redfern who sadly passed away early this year, aged 28.
For nearly a decade, Adam had been an integral part of our DMU community. He first came to DMU in 2011, to study Journalism. It was clear early on how much appetite Adam had for university life, becoming a member of the men’s football team and volunteering for all three strands of Demon Media, the university’s student broadcaster.
He later became editor of The Demon newspaper and hosted a sports programme on student radio station DemonFM, along with other stints working with DemonTV.
Following his time at DSU Adam went on to work for DMU and became an incredibly popular member of staff.
This fund has been dedicated to giving aspiring students with a flair for media, journalism and sport the opportunity to boost their career opportunities. Part of this is the creation of the Student Groups Grant Scheme.
Students have until Monday 14th February to apply for up to £500 to be made available by the Memorial Fun Committee.
