Welcome to Projects for Good
A Project for Good is any practical or applied project that a student can produce or implement to support their partner organisation to make progress for sustainability and/or social responsibility.
This is open to all students but is likely (and not limited to) apply to students studying more practical or creative subjects. Examples of this could include: creating communication materials for an organisation to engage the community; design and make an innovative sustainable alternative to a product; create short films or videos for organisations etc.

Through the partnerships we facilitate, students gain the opportunity to apply their academic learning to a real-world setting whilst making a meaningful impact to the organisations they are partnered with. Our For Good platform is open to all tertiary education students studying in the UK regardless of their course or level of study.
