Give & Go is an opportunity to donate things you do not want when moving out instead of throwing them away. The event has been held each May since 2009 and has resulted in tens of thousands of pounds of donated items through the help of hundreds of student and community volunteers.
Many different kinds of items will be accepted including office supplies, bedding, unopened toiletries, laundry detergent, furniture, rugs, appliances, unopened food, and shoes. The items will be distributed to over twenty local charities that will pass the items on to people in need. Included among the charities are:
