Over the past 16 years we have worked with universities across the UK, collaborating with them to enable their wider strategic goals. Our work has generated added value to student engagement and supports institutions to deliver upon civic and social responsibility.
Our legacy work will continue to support universities to deliver high quality social action opportunities.

An overview of the role social action can play for universities in furthering their goals to support their students, communities, and in shaping the graduates of the future. Including our recommendations on how you can embed and prioritise meaningful activities at your institution mainstream student social action.
Toolkits and webinars
We have developed three toolkits based on our experience of delivering high quality student social action over the past 17 years. Focused on Engaging Student Leaders, Working with Community Partners and Delivering High Quality Social Action. Each toolkit has an accompanying webinar and additional resources.
