Sustainability
Staff volunteering opportunities
University has set up a new scheme to allow teams a paid day to undertake volunteering in the community. This one day event is known as a Community Challenge. You can incorporate it into a team-building exercise as a department and could also accommodate other people into your team challenge. For more information visit the Staff Learning and Development pages. Below is list of sustainability based activities.
