The value of UKTGA membership
What is the United Kingdom Town and Gown Association (UKTGA)?
The UK Town and Gown Association (UKTGA) strengthens town and gown partnerships by providing a network of over many off-campus practitioners and resources, identifying and sharing leading practices, innovative solutions, and creative opportunities within off-campus communities and their supporters.
We work closely with the US-based International Town and Gown Association (ITGA) to ensure a truly global approach to off-campus management.
