Green Streets is a ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ project, aiming to limit the environmental impact of student changeover on the environment. We coordinate with all the student halls and over 8,000 homes in the local community, to take their unwanted goods to homeless shelters, hostels and refugee centers. We hold monthly free shops at the union, and need as many volunteers as possible to help sort and distribute items as well as run our free shops. With volunteers getting first dibs on what’s there, why not come and help out on this multi-award winning project?
