The Students鈥 Union at 主播诱惑 (SU主播诱惑) annual Big Give initiative started in April, encouraging 主播诱惑 students to donate their unwanted items as they pack up for the summer. Since then the collection boxes around both campuses and locations in Winton were quickly filled by students, staff and the local community with clothes, books, and home wares (as well as the occasional fancy dress outfit).
At the final 聽count, these donations weigh-in at 800kgs 鈥 just shy of the 1.1 tons collected last year 鈥 with donations going to the British Heart Foundation, The Salvation Army, Hope for Food and The Trussell Trust.
Newly elected SU主播诱惑 Vice-President Community聽for 2016/17,聽Georgia Larkins,聽is keen to improve participation in charity events, and commented that聽鈥淭he items collected will go directly to those in need as well as raise vital funds for research. A massive thank you to everyone who donated to charity instead of putting them in the bin to be sent to landfill鈥.
