Welcome to the University of Central Lancashire Creative Communities Group.

The CCG aims to empower people, locally, nationally and internationally for positive change through volunteering and community engagement.

Since 2012 the CCG has provided/supported events at the University of Central Lancashire and throughout the region. We have also provided volunteering opportunities nationally and internationally.

These include film festivals, drama productions, art exhibitions, music events, dance exhibitions, community creative writing groups, conferences, science festivals, community health Melas. We also support creative teaching as a pathway to inclusion and accessible education

The University of Central Lancashire Creative communities group is a Pan- University network. The CCG now has representation from a number of leading Universities both nationally and internationally.

The CCG is a unique community led group made up of senior University members of Staff,University Students, University Honorary fellows, Alumni and Community ambassadors.

The Creative communities group activities enhance the staff / student/community experience. This brings added values to the University, the Community and its people.
