Don’t throw it away — pass it on! 💚
The Big Green Move is again happening from today until 11th July 2026
The Big Green Move is a project in collaboration with the accommodation team that encourages students to donate usable items during move-out season. Items will be reused or donated locally as part of our Community Pop Up Shop project, which provides a space for students to swap or buy pre-loved and affordable items while supporting the new Access Fund.
We are working with Open Hands again this year to ensure the purpose of the donations is maximised; all food items will be donated to the food bank, to which we successfully collected and donated 25 kg last year!
Items that are most wanted by our collaborating charity, Open Hands:
- Small appliances - kettles, toasters, air fryers
- Kitchen items - mugs, glasses, cutlery, utensils, saucepans, frying pans, oven trays
- Bedding - clean duvet, pillows, sheets, duvet covers
For student accommodation residents: come and donate your stuff at the reception boxes in both the City and the Village. (Freemans & Oadby)
For everyone else: come and drop your bags at the SU reception in the Percy Gee Building, Monday-Friday between 10-4 pm.
