Meet the Social Justice Team
As a member of the Cathedrals Group of Universities, Bishop Grosseteste University is committed to improving the life and educational opportunities of its members and working for the benefit of the wider community. Education and the possibilities it produces for transformation make it, according to the late Nelson Mandela ‘the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’. Education is a core building block of society and is central to how communities are structured and work now and for the societies and communities we will build for tomorrow. The ambition of a fair and just society must be all members of that society are given the support needed to ensure everyone has a genuine opportunity to realise their potential; be accorded respect; and valued as an individual of worth within an inclusive system. This is social justice. -
