The University of Nottingham has launched a pioneering collaboration with Nottingham Trent University to help change the lives of local people for the better, as independent research reveals that every 22 seconds someone in Nottingham interacts with one of the city’s universities.
These interactions include:
- activities with young people like Harry Bagshaw of Worksop Priory C of E Academy, to help them learn more about university and develop skills
- educating students, including those on Degree Apprenticeships like Husna Gul who is combining studying for her degree with civil engineering work
- business support for people like Olivia Swift who set up breastfeeding brand Lotus Maternity Ltd
- helping develop ideas like Anika Vassell’s business Teen-Behaviour.Com, which she set up to improve the mental health, productivity and morale of working parents by supporting them to address the challenges of raising their adolescent-aged children
- volunteer projects like Laureus Sport for Good, which helps children build key life skills, deliver their own social action projects and make the transition from primary to secondary school
- supporting the Nottingham Young Creatives competition to provide a step up for the winners like illustrator Isobelle Farrar
- developing health interventions like the Scarred Liver Pathway that led to Malcolm Graham receiving a timely liver transplant and a new lease of life
- bringing together ideas, people and businesses to test low energy housing and community energy solutions at Trent Basin
