South East Coastal Communities
Working with you to improve health and wellbeing
South East Coastal Communities (SECC) was funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) as a demonstrator project from 2008-2011. It involved nine universities in the South East. The aim of the project was for universities to work collaboratively with members of the local community in the area in order to build their capacity to meet their Health and Wellbeing needs.
SECC sought to encourage knowledge exchange between universities and the community across the South East coastal region and was broken down into three locations involving three universities in each area:
- Hampshire
University of Portsmouth, Southampton Solent University, University of Southampton
- Kent and Medway
Canterbury Christ Church University, University of Greenwich, University of Kent
- Sussex
University of Brighton, University of Chichester, University of Sussex
