Join our incredible community of staff, students, and local volunteers and be part of something genuinely impactful. Last year, together we collected an amazing 9.5 tonnes of donations, with 74% successfully rehomed instead of going to waste — and this year, we want to go even further.From sorting food and books to giving a second life to kitchenware, bedding, and small electricals, every item you handle helps someone else and reduces waste. Be part of the team that turns move-out into meaningful change.
Help sort and triage donations from students, weigh and record items, and make sure everything is organised and ready for charity collection and the Kitchen Kit Market. This is a hands-on, physical role that will involve some lifting, but it’s a great way to see the direct impact of your efforts. You’ll also play a key part in spreading the word—encouraging your colleagues, friends, and networks to donate and get involved, helping us divert even more items from waste.
Various dates are available.
This is a Warwick Award recognised activity.
Training & further information will be provided nearer the time.
Closing date for applications is 19 Jun.
