Bournemouth University positively impacts the lives of people living in Dorset, the south and south-west England. We support social development locally by collaborating with charities and third sector organisations.
Our associates include public authorities, businesses, schools, cultural institutions, civil societies, charities and other influential bodies. Together, we aim to respond to societal challenges at a regional, national, and international level, working to create positive change.
Our community associates
BU hosts regular on-campus meetings with local charities and community support organisations. These meetings provide a collaborative space in which attendees are invited to share their expertise and resources, so that we can make a difference together. BU representatives include faculty leads. SUBU (Students’ Union Bournemouth University) Volunteering and SUBU Officers are also present.
Through this approach, we are proud to provide opportunities in which the BU community can make a difference.
