Student Hubs has closed. Thank you to you all for your support, your engagement with social action, and your commitment to active citizenship.

Our legacy resources for universities, students and community organisations capture our learnings and reflections from the past 16 years to continue to support our mission of mainstreaming student social action.

Mainstreaming student social action

We supported university students across the UK to engage with social and environmental issues, make an impact in their community and become active citizens for life.

Students

  • Learn about social issues, and themselves
  • Connect with each other and their communities
  • Do something to tackle challenges

Universities

  • Collaborate to enable wider strategic goals
  • Generate added value to student engagement
  • Deliver upon civic and social responsibility

Communities

  • Gain new perspectives, including added expertise and energy
  • Benefit from added capacity for new and existing work
  • Achieve community cohesion, with an improved connection to the university

We reached 1023 children and adults in the community via our 54 partners.

I’ve seen it has increased my self esteem, enjoyment in simple things and feelings to connect with others. The project has enlightened me in believing positive work is being done to help people in need. I personally enjoyed the communication… and working with my team in a professional but relaxed environment.

This experience helped me shape and sharpen my thinking as I was not only being presented by day-to-day challenges in the classroom but also tackling real-life issues at the same time, which is an essential skill to have in this day and age.

The project has helped to boost my confidence as it has involved getting to know new people. I would now say that I have much more confidence when doing group tasks at university as I am much more used to talking in front of an audience.
