Clean Up Cardiff
If you are passionate about the place you live then this is the project for you! You will be part of a great team of enthusiastic people who help to keep the streets of Cardiff clean of litter! Events will take place every Wednesday afternoon at different locations in Cardiff, with some further afield beach cleanups planned as well, we may even be sneaking in the odd beach picnic or barbecue! This project is new and we'll be adding loads of new activities so we're looking for motivated volunteers.

Waste Not, Want Not
**We are looking for lead volunteers for this project for the 2018-19 academic year**
Set up by a Medic Undergraduate student in 2015, students help redistribute foodstuffs from the Students' Union catering outlets to local homelessness charities. This provides a treat to people in need and makes valuable use of food that would otherwise be binned. Volunteers also help minimise the Students' Union overall waste.
More info here if you want to apply for a lead volunteer position.
When: Wednesdays and Fridays at 6pm
Where: Students' Union/City Centre
DBS required: No
