Social Responsibility

The School of Law’s Legal Advice Centre (LAC) is holding its 2018 Student Summer Vacation Scheme, from 18– 29 June.

Every year thousands of students volunteer their time to benefit fellow students, the local community and to raise money for a variety of charities; all this is done whilst studying for their degree and representing the University of Manchester in competitive sport.

Do you have expertise that could help the University achieve its sustainability objectives and become a leader in the field? If so then please apply to join the new University of Manchester Academic Advisory Group for Sustainability.

The University of Manchester had two nominations shortlisted for NEON awards in May 2018.

This week (4-8 June 2018) is the first National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP) week of action, which aims to highlight how activities across the 29 NCOP consortia are making an impact on the learners across the country.

It has been a busy period of awards, recognition and successes for a number of staff involved in social responsibility.

The 2,300 University of Manchester staff, students and alumni who took part in last weekend’s SimplyHealth Great Manchester Run have so far raised over £28,000 for worthy causes.

Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (or the Indian Institute of Art and Culture) is a local community group in Manchester, with the aim of preserving, promoting and propagating authentic Indian culture including dance, music, languages, yoga and meditation.

During 2017/18 the University launched two rounds of 10,000 Actions Funding.

May is TfGM’s Walking Month and Festival so posed a fantastic opportunity for staff, students and the local community to get outside and enjoy some of nature’s beauty across campus and the local area.
