Student-led group Enactus Durham have been crowned UK Champions for their dedication to social enterprise and commitment to contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We are incredibly proud of our students as they faced tough competition at the 2023 Enactus National Competition. They were up against last year’s champions Nottingham and other top universities.
Having been chosen as UK Champions, the team will now represent the whole of Enactus UK at the Enactus World Cup in Utrecht, 17-20 October.
