We are excited to announce the latest SHoKE spotlight project working with Social Spark to improve the lives of Essex Communities by improving health and wellbeing. This year's challenge open to all ARU students is to help answer the below question:
How can we empower those with health and other challenges to have independent and fulfilling lives?
Working alongside the Social Spark partners you may see your ideas activated in the communities of Basildon. Act now to help improve lives by sharing your ideas with Social Spark - a group of civic Essex organisations that aim to improve people's health and wellbeing.
Share your ideas, and be part of the change.
If you submit an idea, you can claim your volunteering hours spent developing and creating it.
Join us for the launch event - Thursday 16 November, 13:30 – 14:30 on the SHoKE Community Everyone is welcome! Join the Community

Spotlight On... are four-month projects that generate a wide perspective on a major challenge that requires innovation and creativity.
We challenge the entire student body to submit their creative ideas to our partners, who select the most promising ideas and commission student intern teams (PG and PGR, UG if an idea is chosen) to provide in-depth analysis and propose implementation strategies.
Your contributions matter - our communities are trying to develop solutions to the many challenges we are facing. You can help them by working collaboratively in a team and practically applying your experience/ skills to create fresh thinking solutions.
