The vacation period is a great time to have a clear out and make sure you’re only keeping the things you actually need.

If you’ve got items you no longer use, don’t just throw them away. There are easy ways to pass them on and reduce waste.

You can donate unwanted items all year round in British Heart Foundation donation banks across campus.

• Clothing and shoes
• Bags and accessories
• Books
• Computer games, CDs and DVDs
• Electrical items
• Crockery, cookware and homeware

Please do not donate
