WHAT

Join us at the repair and reuse revolution tent outside Z Block on Frenchay Campus. Come along and discover practical ways to cut costs and live more sustainably, and explore exciting volunteering opportunities.

We'll have lots of information our circular economy initiatives, including:

Sustainability Hub: swap, donate, and pick up affordable pre-loved essentials such as clothes, bedding, kitchenware, books and small appliances. Most items are available from just 20p, helping you save money while reducing waste.

Enviro IT: buy a refurbished laptop at an affordable price, giving pre-owned devices a second life. This student-led project reduces e-waste and helps more students access the technology they need without the cost of buying new.

Library of Things: why buy when you can borrow? From tools to kitchen gadgets, camping gear to board games, you can borrow what you need for a fraction of the cost of ownership. Student memberships start at only £20 a year.

Reuse Marketplace: university furniture and equipment given a second life. Staff, students, charities and community organisations can request surplus items free of charge, saving money and supporting reuse across the community.

Repair café: bring along broken textiles, electronics, toys or glasses and have them repaired for free by students, staff and skilled volunteers. A fantastic volunteering opportunity to gain practical skills, work with industry professionals and earn digital skills badges.

· Saving money on essentials, technology, furniture and more.

· Volunteering opportunities to boost your employability.

· Learning new skills in repair, reuse and sustainable living.

· Getting involved in student-led and community projects to make a real difference.
