Community Engagement Ambassadors

The Community Engagement Ambassador (CEA) scheme is an exciting new pilot project funded for the 22/23 academic year. The Community Engagement Team has recruited 12 current students to support community cohesion initiatives in three specific zones across Lenton and Radford where there is a large population of privately rented student properties. The CEAs will be employed and managed by the university working up to six hours each per week. This will equate to over 4,000 hours of work across the academic year.

“Our Community Engagement Ambassadors are all current University of Nottingham students living in and around the areas they are tasked with patrolling and improving. We have recruited an enthusiastic, dedicated and sustainably minded team to undertake this exciting new project”

“We want all residents to benefit from this additional support as we aim to maintain Nottingham as a clean, green and great place to live, work and study. This project will evolve over time and we welcome any feedback by contacting our department with your suggestions”

“Working closely with partners such as Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire Police, local residents groups and the Students’ Union will ensure we have a service that can adapt and respond to the needs of our mixed and diverse community.”
