You may or may not be aware that the Guild is participating in the Sound Impact Awards this year. Ignore the misleading name, this is actually an environmental accreditation scheme designed to reduce the carbon footprint of the Students' Unions in the UK.
Myself, Julien "Captain Planet" Pritchard and our Buildings Manager Mike Carolan are working tirelessly at completing the workbook, which contains 176 criteria!
Last year, we got a Working Towards accreditation, whilst Loughborough claimed the Gold (boo!).
This year, we have set our sights high but the important thing here is to make the Guild more environmentally-friendly and save some energy. Awards are merely the cherry on top of the cake :D
December --> complete the workbook
February --> be visited & assessed.
March --> pick up our award at NUSSL convention (fingers & toes crossed)
I'll keep you posted, as always.
