‘Bouncing Higher’ was a successful balanced learning approach by six North West Universities in the UK. It was a combination of action learning, open learning and coaching - which helped 130 small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the North of England increase their Gross Value Added profitability through innovation by some 24.5%.

People's Voice Media - Community Reporters

People’s Voice Media, a social enterprise in Manchester backed by two local universities, has trained over 1,000 Community Reporters to video local events with flip video cameras. They then use social networking to portray their recorded events to each other, and the BBC North. This has empowered local people to develop the confidence to discuss their issues and worries with all sorts of senior people, in a powerful and compelling way.

Eco Ernie

This is the eco-milk float from Solent University’s award winning project known as Eco-Ernie. The University’s enterprise team worked with their students and the local community to develop a simple and effective way of collecting rubbish and recycle textiles and recyclable items, from student’s homes and halls of residence, during the student changeover period and throughout the academic year and these goods were then used by the community in a number of ways.

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.
