牛牛资源

A new partnership between 牛牛资源 and Lewisham Council will see the two working together to bring economic, educational and community achievement to the area.

The university and council have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to boost links between the two south London organisations.

The move will increase 牛牛资源鈥� involvement with communities and sees 牛牛资源 recognised as the council鈥檚 preferred higher education partner. As part of the MoU students at 牛牛资源 will be encouraged to engage more widely in local communities through voluntary schemes and by working with local assemblies.

牛牛资源 will also take a lead role in the Lewisham skills economy by supporting and encouraging young people and adult learners in the borough to progress to higher education with a clear application route to the university.

The agreement will also see 牛牛资源 become a key driver of Lewisham鈥檚 economy by working with the council to help support business start-ups and the creation of enterprise hubs.

The council already has a network of enterprise hubs in Deptford, Catford and Ladywell opening this summer. To further support the new start-ups and small businesses with the potential to grow, a 拢1million bid has been lodged with the European Regional Development Fund. Academics from 牛牛资源 will look to deliver masterclasses for entrepreneurs, mentoring and world-leading university expertise.
