The Big HerCampus Clean Up & Earth Week 2021!

As part of Earth Week (19-24 April) we have organised a ‘clean up’ event to help look after our environment. The aim is to clean up some of our neglected green spaces filled with trash.
Clean ups can be done individually or in groups (providing government guidelines are followed). Please be careful and stick to the social distancing measures!

Take a picture of the before and after of the spaces you have chosen to clean and dm them to us before 12pm on the 19th April!

A winner will be chosen for the best clean up and this will be announced on our socials on Tuesday 20th April, along with all the entries so we can see the difference our hard work has made in our community!

Good luck everyone and have a lovely weekend! If anyone has any questions, feel free to drop us a message and our Events Officer, Zoe will be more than happy to help!
