Hello and welcome!

about us

Enactus Durham is part of the Enactus UK & Ireland organisation which has teams in over 70 universities. This in turn is part of the global Enactus organisation, based in 38 countries and is the largest campus-based, student-led organisation in the world. Enactus brings together entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders and business minds. We harness opportunities and empower people through sustainable enterprises, set up and run by students.

Our purpose is to support the personal and professional development of our members as they aspire to undertake new challenges to empower communities both locally and internationally. 

Our members comprise the most assertive, dedicated and intelligent individuals, not just from Durham University, but across the world. This is demonstrated through our numerous successful international and local projects ran by our members which have impacted thousands of lives.

Our success has been widely recognised; in just over five years of operation, Enactus Durham has won the National Competition twice, in 2023 and 2024 – representing the UK at the Enactus World Cups in Utrecht, Netherlands and Astana, Kazakhstan. In 2025 we placed Runner Up in the National Competition.

We will continue to build upon our members’ strengths, grow our success in order to improve thousands of lives, and help drive change across the world.
