Local civic initiatives

We believe, as a public institution based in the heart of Hillingdon, that we should employ our facilities and utilise the expertise and skills of our staff and students to make a positive impact in the local civic. We run a number of initiatives and projects in Hillingdon and are always looking for new ways to meet civic needs and contribute to the civic.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for new civic projects please email engagement@brunel.ac.uk

Staff volunteering, process and opportunities 

Unlocking the Power of Volunteering: A Path to Personal and Professional Growth

At Brunel university, we believe in the profound impact of giving back to our community. As full-time and permanent staff members, you are entitled to 36 hours of paid time off work each academic year to volunteer, pending approval from your line manager. With 200 diverse opportunities available, now is the perfect time to embrace the spirit of service and make a meaningful difference.

Volunteering offers a unique chance to contribute to causes you're passionate about while reaping a multitude of personal and professional benefits.

Last year students and staff dedicated over 18,000 hours to supporting the local community and charities.

London Himalayan Short Film Festival 2024

London Himalayan Short Film Festival 2024 was organised in collaboration between Brunel South Asia Studies Research Group and The Critical Himalayan Collective and featured a stellar line up of short films from the Himalayan regions of Nepal, Northeast India and Tibet. 

The film festival theme was 'Mangkolen' translating to 'Tomorrow' in the indigenous Bantawa language from the Himalayan region and this theme was used to explore key issues facing the Himalayan regions, including ecology, environment, sustainability, indigeneity, identity and diaspora.
