We are looking for student teams who want to have a real impact and leave behind a real positive footprint when they leave the University. Enactus provides the opportunity to present your work to a range of partners at the Enactus National Competition in London.

In 2021 the Enactus UK National Champions were Southampton University students who developed Future Brew a zero-waste brewing company that creates value out of unwanted and surplus food almost magically creating a beer using waste bread as the primary ingredient!

At Teesside we currently have one Enactus team developing our charity arcade project! This is developing coin playable arcade machines that raise money for our current charity partner – The Great North Air Ambulance. Pretty cool as far as charity partners go!

Now we are looking to expand upon this with working in collaboration with Thirteen Group - the largest social housing provider in the North-East!

We want to develop new teams of students tackling many of the challenges that they are passionate about. Locally we face many difficulties from the cost-of-living crises, food poverty to tackling anti-social behaviour. We will be working closely with partners across the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector across the Tees Valley.

Register your interest for the opportunity on Voluntees! https://www.voluntees.co.uk/opportunity/79338

We are keen to find out what you are passionate about and how you can support us to deliver real life social impact within Tees Valley.
