What is the Jennings Green Campus Grant? This is a £30 grant to be used to cover your time spent completing a sustainable activity in your halls of residence. Grant activities are usually expected to take up to 2 hours. We have a pot of £420 for funding your initiative so why not apply?

What is a grant? A grant is a sum of money designated for a specific purpose. In this case it is for yourself to complete a sustainability initiative in your residence.

Why apply for a grant? As a volunteer there are many ways in which you can both support the campaign as well as gain useful sustainability skills and experiences to take forward. In addition to having tangible environmental experience to add to your CV, you will also be able to contribute to your volunteer badge to show you've meaningfully contributed to your hall's community through sustainable actions.

Who can participate? If your university is participating in Green Campus Revolution and you live in halls, you can! Please see the online form and Rules & Eligibility Criteria for more information before applying.

Suggested Activities:

• Creating short videos or GIFs of your top sustainability tips; create approx. 3 x 20 second videos or 1 x 1 minute video. These will go on SOS-UK’s social media for example TikTok or an Instagram reel.  

• Creating a video about your experience being sustainable in residences; approx. 1 minute video which may include for example what you have learned. This will be publicised through SOS-UK social media channels.

• ·Creating a video about your experience being a volunteer; why you got involved in the campaign or how being involved has benefited you.  This will be publicised through SOS-UK social media channels.
