Guns for Goods

‘Guns for Goods’ is an exciting partnership between Salford University, a Charity – CARISMA – and the Greater Manchester Police to develop community leadership in an enterprise that will convert gun metals, reclaimed from the police armoury, into design concepts and goods for manufacture; thus enabling a direct source of potential income to sustain the process.

ICCARUS

This is a screen shot from ICCARUS - a multi-media learning simulator, devised by staff from Portsmouth University, who worked closely with fire officers and staff the National Fire College. The simulator simply coached working fire officers in the most effective ways of controlling major fire incidents. It has been successful used to train a new generation of effective fire officers.

Contraception – The Board Game

Contraception – The Board Game was developed by Maternity Nurse Lecturer - Barbara Hastings-Asatorian. She set up a social enterprise which developed a new learning tool to teach young people of the need for, and better use of, contraception. Barbara’s  nurses didn’t like talking about sex, and contraception, with young people, but the game Barbara developed has now been translated into three languages and is now sold all over the world, helping the young learn the facts of life, in a fun way.  

Salford Money Line

Salford Money Line is just one of 13 successful and sustained ‘Community Banks’, operating across the whole UK. It has been developed by ordinary people, with support from their local university, to meet real local needs, as conventional banks ‘flee from poverty’. The university gave its local community the support, confidence and ability to develop such micro finance organisations for themselves.
