Get involved

We are passionate about creating a community at the University with sustainability at its core. Find out how you can get involved in helping us become more eco-friendly and paving the way for a greener future.

Sustainability groups

To achieve our goals in sustainability, we need the help of the whole university and we're looking for volunteers; people who want to make a difference, people with ideas, people who can engage and help the University make a positive environmental impact.  

We are hoping for wide representation from across the University, with staff and students from any faculty or service welcome to help us tackle climate change. The whole University community is key to the culture of sustainable development.

Keep a look out for events and volunteering opportunities that are advertised on Sharepoint, via the Students' Union, and around campus. We'll let you know how to find out more and how you can get involved.
