Did you know we have hedgehogs here at the University of Surrey? πŸ¦”

Our Hedgehog Champions, led by Dr Tara Pirie, have been busy making both our Stag Hill and Manor Park campuses hedgehog friendly! As a result of all their hard work, we are a certified Gold Hedgehog Friendly campus! 😍

The team are always looking for support to monitor hedgehog numbers. If you're interested in volunteering, send the team an email on [email protected]

Last-minute packing got you in a panic? We've got you covered! πŸ™

Rather than throwing away your unwanted items, why not try donating instead? There are three simple ways you can donate your items on campus:

1️⃣ Place your unwanted clothes in a bag and take them to one of our dedicated British Heart Foundation donations bins, locations include: Central Distribution (Stag Hill), Millennium House (Stag Hill), Alexander Fleming Road (Manor Park), Daphne Jackson Road (Manor Park) and Hamilton Close (Hazel Farm).

2️⃣ Got other items you'd like to donate? From electrical items to books, you can now donate clean + fit for purpose items to University of Surrey Students' Union new Community Hub (launching this August). Donation cages can be found at: MySurrey Hive, Stag Hill Reception, Cathedral Court Reception, Battersea Reception, Manor Park Reception + SU's reception.

3️⃣ Finally, any unopened and non-perishable food can be donated to University of Surrey Students' Union scheme, an initiative that has already seen over 200,000 items donated to local food banks. Donation trolleys can be found in the same locations as the Commuity Hub donation cages.

FREE FILM SCREENING TOMORROW! 🀩

Join People + Planet (Surrey) and Zero Carbon Guildford for a screening of FINITE: The Climate of Change! The film will be shown at Zero Carbon and will start at 7:30pm!

Don't miss out! 😱

Synopsis:
In Germany, concerned citizens step forward to save an ancient forest from one of Europe’s biggest coal mines. They form an unlikely alliance with a frustrated community in rural England who are forced into action to protect their homes from a new opencast coal mine. FINITE: The Climate of Change is an insider’s view of the world of direct action; a raw, authentic and emotional insight into the David and Goliath battle between front line communities, activists and fossil fuel corporations.
