About us 

Enactus UK supports students & young people across the country to engage in social action and social enterprise. Our mission in the UK is to be recognised as a leader in developing a national network of socially minded young leaders of the future, who transform communities and society through real life social action and environmentally responsible enterprise.

We are dedicated to creating a better world while developing the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders and social innovators. The Enactus network of global business, academic and student leaders are unified by our vision - to create a better, more sustainable world

We have an established university programme which has been running since 2001 and now operates in over 60 universities across the UK, engaging up to 3,500+ students each year.  

What we do

We make the connection between character education and the world of work, enabling young people to develop the knowledge and attitudes they need to succeed, building on the experience of youth social action, enterprise and entrepreneurship. We work with educational professionals, business leaders, mentors, specialists and Alumni who combine to create a unique co-curricular enterprising environment.

With the support of the programme and its 600+ mentors and advisers, last year Enactus students impacted over 12,000 beneficiaries through the delivery of over 230 socio-economic and environmental projects.

Our vision is to engage the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders to use innovation and business principles to improve the world.

Our Students

Student Spotlight: Charlotte Till

"My time in Enactus has been life-changing. Not only has it shaped my own personal values, seeking a career where an organisation cares about its community, but it has also given me friends for life, skillsets beyond my expected level, and real-life impact that I've helped create.  Enactus has been a crucial part of my university experience,  and I can wholeheartedly say that it will be a huge part of my future too. I feel really lucky that a society I stumbled upon from my first year of University will be something I hold dear in my heart for years to come!"

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about Enactus UK, with your help and support we are able to create a better more sustainable world for us all while developing the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders and social innovators!
