Russell Group universities enhancing communities across the UK

12th Jul 2024

A new report has revealed that Russell Group universities significantly impact communities across the UK, extending their benefits beyond education and research.

The report, A Bright Future: Places and People, reveals how these top institutions play a key role in enhancing wellbeing and prosperity in their areas. Some standout examples from the report include:

  • Cardiff University’s Mountain Ash Primary Care Dental Unit: This unit addresses the shortage of NHS dentists in Cynon Valley, offering free, high-quality dental care and training for future dental professionals.
  • University of Warwick’s Arts Centre: Over three years, this centre fostered community engagement in Coventry through a local samba band, film screenings, creative workshops, and a parade, benefiting over 7,000 local residents.
  • Imperial College London's Invention Rooms: These facilities provide local people, including young students and elderly residents, with hands-on experience in science and technology, promoting digital literacy and innovation.

These universities leverage their research excellence, global connections, and extensive resources to address local challenges and support regional development. Dr Tim Bradshaw, Chief Executive of the Russell Group, added: "Our universities are an intrinsic part of the social and cultural fabric of their places, creating opportunities and providing access to ideas and resources that benefit millions of people every year."
