Highlights from the Clubs:

Cheerleading collected food donation for the Bristol food bank. As a team they managed to gather a massive donation which they then popped into the Sainsbury’s food donation point. This is such a great thing to do, to give back to those in need! Additional, 26 members emailed their local MP Claire Hazelgrove about there being no lids on recycling boxes meaning a lot of litter is being blown around damaging the local environment and causing harm to animals.

Lacross set mini challenges for example to watch an episode of a David Attenborough documentary,  to send in a sustainability fact in their group chat and to fill out a sustainability quiz. Thes tasks all though small are a fun way to raise awareness. They also supported the Green Teams Fairtrade bake sale by baking some amazing sweet treats using fairtrade, organic and ethically sourced ingredients.

Dance organized Sports Does Strictly which is a charity fundraiser, and they sourced their costumes sustainably. Additionally, 8 members changed their default browser to Ecosia, helping plant trees and encouraged all their dancers to use reusable wetter bottles.

Highlights from the Societies:

Psychology created a series of educational blogs posts about different sustainability topics, including the climate crisis, microplastics, building a sustainable campus and plant-based diets. These posts helped spark thoughtful conversations among members. The society also went for walks together to reconnect with nature and prepared homemade vegetarian meals.

SSAGO attended the second annual Ocean Advocate Summit to represent their society. The day consisted of networking with other like-minded individuals and attending talks and workshops on how to include more people in climate action and sustainability projects. They also challenged all their members to wash their uniforms on 30° to save electricity and to either go vegan for a full week or try and swap to a vegan diet one day per week. Small sustainable switches with meaningful long‑term impact!

These highlights are just a glimpse of the amazing efforts clubs and societies made throughout the competition!

The main competition is still in full swing, so keep up the good work!
