About

The Working with Community Partners Toolkit is an essential resource for universities aiming to strengthen their civic impact. It provides a detailed framework for establishing and nurturing partnerships with local organisations, emphasising the mutual benefits for students, universities, and communities.

The toolkit covers crucial aspects such as auditing existing activities, recruiting partners, understanding stakeholder needs, and fostering long-term relationships. It also offers guidance on enhancing the quality of community engagement and managing the off-boarding process.

By implementing these strategies, universities can significantly improve their civic engagement, provide enriching experiences for students, and contribute meaningfully to local development.
