Places and People

28 June 2024

The Government’s ability to build a bright future for the UK will be shaped and determined by the strength of cities, towns and communities across the UK and by the partnerships that can be harnessed to make the most of the opportunities and resources available.

Working with schools, colleges, local authorities, the NHS, businesses and charities, Russell Group universities use their scale, research excellence and global links to provide solutions for real problems facing families, businesses and public services.

A Bright Future: Places and People sets out some of the ways our members are working for the good of their areas - and shows how the higher education sector will be a key partner for the next Government.
