We delivered on a mini bus for sport use.

These are now embedded in the Give It A Go (GIAG) programme.

You wanted the women's mini bus to go further out.

You said food waste should be collected not thrown away.

We now have a ReFood collection which takes all the food waste and leftovers from both Interval and Bar One and sends them for anaerobic digestion to be turned into biogas and fertiliser.

You asked why lights are left on and paper put in general waste bins.

Surprise environmental inspections have been initiated in all areas.

You said you wanted gender neutral toilets.

The toilets outside the auditorium on level 2 are now gender neutral.

You wanted a diverse range of beginners language courses to choose from.

With the help of Santander funding we put 14 language courses for you in the Autumn programme with 10 different languages to choose from.

We're now providing HEAR verification for 1st year UG students who attend the full duration on GIAG language course. We are also providing verification for students who attend and pass the GIAG Emergency First Aid qualification.
