Saving the Future by Heart
39 tonnes of “unwanted” items have been saved from going to landfill. Al Clark, Environment Officer at the University, has during the past year worked closely with the British Heart Foundation “Pack for Good” Campaign. Yesterday he and the University of St Andrews were announced Retail Partners of the year at the Heart Hero Awards.

Making donations easier has been the key to success at the University. With 19 new BHF donation points, students and staff have been able to donate clothes, furniture and electronic equipment. 80,000 pounds have been raised for research on heart and circulatory disease. In addition, the donations make an important contribution to our environment.
“The team at the University has worked tirelessly to make it easier for students to donate”
