16 June | Leeds Beckett CommUNIty Network Event

Date: 16 June 2025
Time: 10 am – 3 pm
Location: Leeds Beckett University, The Knowledge Exchange, Rose Bowl, Leeds LS1 3HE

The event is an opportunity to find out more about the current Leeds Beckett offer to the Third Sector and the communities our sector works with. It will also provide an opportunity to explore a range of mutually beneficial collaborations with colleagues in Leeds Beckett University.

Community-University collaborations have the potential to support community and voluntary groups and also improve the quality and reach of research and teaching in universities. There are many great collaborations happening already across Leeds Beckett with a wide range of community partners, and initiatives such as Leeds ACTS have supported this type of work more broadly with all the universities in Leeds.

As there has been a lot of change in recent years within Leeds Beckett and in our surrounding community, we’d like to invite community partners onto campus to share up-to-date information about many ways we can collaborate and to hear more about what is needed.
