Help with the Green Streets project

Volunteer, donate, take away free items; students, landlords and local residents can all get involved with the Green Streets project.

Donate any re-usable stuff you no longer want to Green Streets.

Volunteer with Green Streets

We hold free shops in the Union throughout the year and for a whole week during the summer. For this we need as many volunteers as possible to help sort and distribute items, run our free shops, drive collection vans and even make re-usable fashion.
