The Law Clinic
The Law Clinic stands as a flagship initiative within the Centre for Community Engagement and Learning. Every year, we train students to offer guidance to individuals who cannot afford the services of a solicitor and don't qualify for free legal aid. To ensure professional oversight, a team of solicitors dedicated to social justice supervise the students' work on a pro bono basis.
Students not studying law also contribute to the project by volunteering in administrative and management roles. The clinic focuses on housing-related legal matters, conducting weekly online meetings with the public. We also have a mobile clinic that visits communities across the UK to give guidance on legal matters where it's most needed.

Bloomsbury Radio
Students and staff have many opportunities to engage in civic activities both locally and globally. Bloomsbury Radio, a platform for news, music, and discussions, serves as an official media partner for various international conferences, often emphasising enterprise and entrepreneurship. Additionally, the station covers local events like the Bloomsbury Festival, a two-week arts and culture extravaganza held annually in October.
We also work with schools and community groups to equip individuals for future academic pursuits or employment. Each year, we conduct workshops on topics including communication skills, job search techniques and personal growth.
