Yorkshire Day News & Blogs
Every year on 1 August, Yorkshire Day offers an opportunity to reflect on the people, places and partnerships that make our region what it is. At Leeds Beckett, we're proud to contribute to that story every day by creating opportunities for our students, supporting our communities and working alongside partners to help Yorkshire thrive.
As a university with deep roots in Leeds, we're committed to making a positive difference through education, research and collaboration. Every year, students from across the UK and around the world choose Leeds Beckett, finding opportunities to learn, belong and build their futures in Yorkshire. Alongside our graduates, staff and partners, they contribute to the communities, businesses and public services that make our region such a vibrant place to live and work.
As one of the city's anchors, we're committed to working with partners to support inclusive growth across Leeds and the wider region. Through direct employment and our wider economic impact, we support more than 4,000 jobs. For every £1 spent on our operations, more than £6 is returned to the UK economy.
Our contribution goes far beyond the numbers. Through research, knowledge exchange and collaboration, we're helping businesses innovate, working with public sector partners and partnering with charities and community organisations to address local and global challenges. Together, these partnerships create opportunities that benefit our city, our region and beyond.
This Yorkshire Day, we're celebrating the impact we create together. From helping students feel at home in Leeds and build successful futures to working with businesses and organisations across the region, we're proud to be a university that creates opportunity, drives positive change and plays an active role in Yorkshire's future.
