STUDENT UNION ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT
STUDENT UNION ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT
Our Student Union submitted a bid to the Welsh Government for a Sustainable Future Project and they have recently been granted over £22,000 for their project.

One of the most popular responses was the beautiful outdoors and the importance of family. Our students told us that they want to look after our environment and ensure that it is also looked after for future generations.
