Impacting Communities | USW 10 Years of Impact
Community is at the heart of USW, and its partnership with Urban Circle ensures that diverse communities across South Wales are supported.
The Newport-based youth arts organisation was founded with the goal of engaging, supporting, and empowering young people and communities.
USW’s Memorandum of Understanding with Urban Circle supports student recruitment and community events, as well as the delivery of guest lectures to USW students, the provision of student work placement opportunities, and support with anti-discrimination resources, materials, and workshops.
USW and Urban Circle also collaborate with other community organisations across Newport and the region to support equality and diversity as part of wider civic initiatives.
The partnership has been praised by education inspectors Estyn, highlighting the benefits that it brings to charities and those they support, as well as staff and students at USW.
