WATCH: Ulster University partners with Glen Development to help to strengthen community links

Ulster University is driving change, uplifting communities and enriching culture in the North West.

The well-known establishment isn’t just a place of learning it’s a vital part of the city’s heartbeat, believing in the region’s potential and deeply invested in the people.

Ulster University’s partnership with the Glen Development Initiative is helping to support a range of individuals and groups of all ages; providing much needed educational support, childcare, youth activities and a safe shared space for all.

Adrian Kelly, Community Worker at Glen Development Initiative reflects: “This area and the residents within the streets around here have co-existed with the University for decades. The support from the Department for Economy and the University has allowed us to provide services for a wide range of our groups that shows that the university is having a direct impact into their lives.”

The support underpins the range of activities and initiatives Ulster University and The Department for Economy are helping to deliver across the region. As the UK and Ireland University of the Year (Times Higher Education, 2024), the University continues to collaborate with a range of local community, educational and sports groups as well as supporting wider events to deliver a destination campus in a destination city.
