Success for Geography at Sustainability Awards

30 June 2017

The annual Sustainability Awards recognise both internal and external sustainability contributions to QMUL. The School of Geography has scooped up four awards at this year's awards ceremony on 29 June. 

Over the year, the School has raised over £600 for charities including Breast Cancer Now, the Whitechapel Mission, the Fairtrade Foundation and Toilet Twinning. We have written guest blogs about our new geography soup kitchen, as well as toilet twinning.
