Students leaving accommodation for the summer vacation period are encouraged to donate any unwanted items to the Don't Ditch It project.

Each year, donation points are set up across the University for students to donate, exchange, or find new homes for items they no longer need. To make donating as easy as possible, the project team will be stationed at each College on dates throughout June and July.
