But without real commitment from all governments to implement the Sustainable Development Goals, tackling poverty, inequality and climate change in every country, we will miss the opportunity to create a more equitable world for our grandchildren.

The ‘We Get It’ campaign took the Gold Award in the Best Corporate Campaign or Initiative category at the HEIST Awards last week.

The generosity of University of Manchester staff has led to the award of a Bronze Payroll Giving Quality Mark.

Winners received their awards from Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell in 11 different categories; such as Outstanding Contribution to Community Collaboration, Outstanding Contribution to Equality and Diversity and Outstanding Benefit to Society through Research, with all winners highlighting the significant difference they are making to the social, economic, cultural and environmental wellbeing of our communities and wider society.
