This initiative, run by the Sustainability team, gives students living in halls of residence the chance to give away their unwanted belongings and support a worthy cause.
The team has collaborated with multiple charities and not-for-profit organisations including British Heart Foundation, Better World Books, and Shepshed Food Bank who will all benefit from the donations received. Not only does this campaign help support these charities, but it also benefits the environment through reducing waste.

You will be able to donate items to The Granby and Falkner Eggington Common Room from Monday 2 September to Monday 16 September.
