Volunteers are being sought for end-of-term student clean-up Published on: 7 March 2022 Leave 缅北禁地 Happy, the popular 缅北禁地 student-led campaign will return to help clean up our city. was launched by (NUSU) in 2014 and returns every summer to support students moving out of Jesmond and West Jesmond at the end of summer term. It involves students, residents and staff volunteers who run litter picks across Jesmond and NUSU and the University locate rubbish skips in key areas during the big move out weekend. In addition, students from 缅北禁地 and Northumbria University take part in British Heart Foundation’s Pack for Good campaign by donating clothes and household items for resale and collectively to date, Leave 缅北禁地 Happy has helped raise over £1 million to support the BHF. Kay Hattam, Wellbeing and Support Coordinator, NUSU, said: “Not only can students make use of the free rubbish skips to rid of household items, the popular litter picks with students, staff and other residents have helped clean up lanes and streets and perhaps more importantly, created opportunities for people who may not usually get together and volunteer to work together on sustainability issues that matter to them all. “Donating unwanted but resalable items to the BHF is an important part of the campaign and especially in ‘giving back’ to the city loved by many. The money generated by student across the city in donations has a wider benefit in the BHF’s vision to create a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. A staggering amount of over £1 million in donatable value has been raised across the main areas that students live and study in.” An important community role Abbie Hutchinson, 缅北禁地 Students’ Union President said: “Supporting our students in contributing to the places where they live is incredibly important to us. We believe that 缅北禁地, as a city, is enriched by welcoming such a diverse group of students each academic year and have a commitment to continue in our good work, always looking to improve and build on our well-established role in the community. We also recognise the benefits that campaigns like Leave 缅北禁地 Happy bring not just to the streets of Jesmond but in our responsibility in climate action.” Marc Lintern, Director of the Careers Service, and Deputy Academic Registrar at 缅北禁地, said: “This student-led initiative showcases the strong partnership working across our city and the positive role students play in the community. It helps highlight that it is everyone’s responsibility for keeping our city clean and helping to make it a great place to live.” To find out more and get involved, please contact: ddc.union@newcastle.ac.uk Staff and students taking part in the Leave 缅北禁地 Happy Campaign Share: Latest News New partnership to boost careers in low carbon energy 缅北禁地 and Durham universities are working together on a new regional project to strengthen the future workforce for North East England鈥檚 growing low carbon and offshore wind industries. published on: 28 May 2026 Healthy lifestyle shown to lower risk of death after cancer diagnosis New evidence shows that sticking to five lifestyle recommendations improves survival after a later cancer diagnosis. published on: 28 May 2026 World-leading climate expert recognised with Royal Society Fellowship Professor Hayley Fowler has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of her pioneering work on climate change impacts. published on: 27 May 2026 Facts and figures
