With the support of coaches, mentors and academics, teams of students across the UK and Ireland work together to find innovative solutions to social issues within their local and international communities using the framework of the sustainable development goals.

Our teams work together with community based organisations and social enterprises, as well as getting expert advice from industry specialist business coaches and sponsors to develop their projects into social enterprises using the framework of the Enactus criterion.

Every year, each team presents the progress and impact their projects have made over the year. The National Competition each year in April brings together the next generation of leaders to collaborate, celebrate and compete.

APRIL 2022

Enactus really was an incubator for success and allowed me to flourish as a leader to the point where I became the Vice President of Enactus Liverpool. To me, Enactus is about young people making real change in the local communities that they love. Enactus is family. I would not be where I am today without it.
