While the home nations may not have progressed far at the recent Rugby World Cup, congratulations to RSA Partner Enactus UK and their recent success in winning the Enactus World Cup 2015!
Enactus UK is a student-led social entrepreneurship programme reaching over 2,800 students in 56 universities across the country and the World Cup was their chance to compete against over 30 other teams from around the world.
Enactus UK winning the Enactus World Cup is an incredible achievement and we congratulate the hard work and success of the UK Team (from the University of Southampton).
The Enactus World Cup is coming to the United Kingdom in 2017 and this is a fitting precursor.
The Southampton team’s project focused on addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a special focus on empowerment of entrepreneurs, sanitation, water security and education in Kenya. Take a look at one of Southampton’s award winning projects here.

Do you feel inspired? Now is your chance to get involved with the Enactus UK team as a mentor.
Enactus UK is seeking FRSA who would like to be Social Sector Advisers. Together with the team’s University advisers, business advisers and Enactus UK staff, they will form a vital part of the team’s support network and will offer students a valuable source of knowledge and experience. This is an ongoing mentoring opportunity throughout the academic year.
Alternatively, if you have training experience or would like to get involved in the Enactus UK training days, covering anything from market research to impact measurement, the next will be held on Saturday 7th November in Grantham.
For more information on the Enactus programme or how to be a Social Sector Advisor please email Rachel Munns FRSA rmunns@enactus.org
