Community Action Partnership

The Community Action Partnership (CAP) is a forum for change-makers, community activists and forward-thinkers who want to improve the lives of our wider community.

It provides a platform for colleagues and students to share their work around community engagement, and how their role within our University can contribute to new and existing pieces of work.

The CAP exists to improve, enhance and coordinate our activities related to the wider community.

If you are passionate about improving community engagement, have feedback or ideas on Engaged University or want to learn more about how we can create better relationships, do join us.

Join the monthly CAP meeting – this is an opportunity to talk to other colleagues about community engagement, whether that be sharing updates on existing projects, new ideas, feedback or you just want to listen and learn more then come along. Meetings are entirely flexible, you choose which ones you want to attend, ensuring this forum works around our busy schedules.
