Working with communities
Since the 1960s, we've collaborated with our local communities. Working alongside non-profit community and government organisations to creatively co-create social, cultural, economic and environmental opportunities.
Our staff, students and graduates are passionate about developing equitable relationships with local organisations to enable creative collaboration in Southwark, Lambeth, South London and beyond.
Out of all 6 UAL Colleges, London College of Communication has the largest number of students joining from the surrounding areas, as well as the most diverse student body.
This richness of skills, ideas and experiences provides a foundation from which we listen and learn from our communities as we work together to actively engage with society's big challenges and nurture the next generation of the creative industries.
