Driving change and responding to the needs and aspirations of the communities we serve is at the heart of everything we do in IES. Our team leads some of King’s most impact-driven programmes, including One King’s Impact, the King’s Sanctuary Programme, King’s Volunteering, and the Afe Babalola Centre for Transnational Education, among others.

Through these initiatives, together with our broader civic and place-based engagement both locally and internationally, we enrich opportunities for students, foster research partnerships that tackle pressing global challenges, and unlock the impact King’s can make for people, planet and society.
