CommUNIty
Location: Preston | UK
CommUNIty is an initiative that builds sustainable partnerships between voluntary/community organisations and Leeds Beckett University with an emphasis on projects focused on health and wellbeing. The overarching goal is to find new, more effective ways to improve health and reduce health inequalities in communities.
Combining the resources and knowledge of community organisations with those of the University creates benefits for both partners: it improves knowledge exchange and gives staff from both sectors access to different sources of expertise, widens participation and opens up opportunities for students and research.
CommUNIty is part of the Institute for Health & Wellbeing, Leeds Beckett University and reflects the Institute’s ambition to be a centre of excellence for applied research that makes a difference to people’s lives.
