Culturally rich communities

We commit to working in partnership to:

Build culturally enriched and healthy communities as a diffusion engine

Located in the heart of Southampton’s diverse and thriving cultural scene, our pool of creative talent is embedded through the region’s urban and rural communities. From live music performances to supporting the Saints, engaging with faith communities to supporting people in making active lifestyle choices, together we will unlock untapped potential through collaboration and knowledge exchange.

For business and society this means together we will:

• Provide opportunities for society to access our academic and student communities through a series of public engagement and volunteering interventions.
• Celebrate the diversity and success or our local, global and faith communities here on campus in our communities.
• Provide a welcoming and inclusive environment that respects and reflects the region’s multicultural communities.
• Prioritise our work in areas of greatest need, in line with targets set out in our Access and Participation Plan.

Since launching our original Civic Charter in 2021, we've been working with communities to make a difference. Take a look at our achievements to date here.
