The Civic Exchange

The Civic Exchange unites our staff, students and partners to deliver lasting impact for our region.

It will coordinate our activity, share best practice, strengthen partnerships and deliver our evidence-led, partnership-driven approach to civic engagement.

We are building on the powerful work already happening with our partners in these key areas:

We are committed to our communities and to impact that transforms lives. The Civic Exchange will help us to do more to support the place we are proud to call home. 

The Civic Exchange represents a significant step forward in our ambition to be a university for Leeds and West Yorkshire not only in name or location, but in purpose, partnership and impact.
