Some awesome students from our business school put together this concert for local older people on Valentine’s Day. They faced many setbacks along the way, including several band members dropping out a couple of weeks prior to the concert. However, the student leader persevered and put on a great show which the whole audience loved. I think perseverance in the face of adversity is one of the most valuable lessons that we can learn.

Our Community Leadership Programme helps students with an idea to meet a local need. We provide them with project management training, access to a fund to cover their costs (up to £250) and a project management coach from UBS. You can read about other projects that have come through this programme on our Wall of Fame.
