Goal 10: Operations

The University’s operational activities play a key role in our approach to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Here’s a wider showcase of our work addressing Goal 10.

Policy@Manchester’s Health Inequalities Digital Collection

Policy@Manchester is our University’s policy engagement institute that connects researchers with policymakers and influencers, nurtures long-term policy engagement relationships and seeks to enhance stakeholder understanding of pressing policy challenges. One of the institutes online collections, Health Inequalities draws on research from across the University, and offers evidence-led insight and policy recommendations on the causes, effects, and solutions to heath inequalities.

University Donates Abandoned Bikes to Charity

Our University regularly donates abandoned bikes to local charities to support important community initiatives that aim to reduce the number of bikes that end up in landfills. The local charities refurbish and repair the bikes to sell at an affordable price, or give them away at no extra cost to those in need. By ensuring we manage abandoned bikes effectively, it not only frees up space in the shelter and Sheffield stands, but also enables us to support important community initiatives.
