May Newsletter 2025
Hi 👋
It's nearly summer and we hope you find time for a well-earned break - there's just a couple of things we think you should know before you forget the login for your uni emails over the summer (yes, we know you stop reading these 👀).
Leaving your accommodation this summer?
Leave Liverpool Tidy! 🚮💃
To help make your clear out easier and more sustainable - we're hosting a Leave Liverpool Tidy day of action on Thursday 22nd May.
The way it works is simple - gather all the stuff that you do not wish to move to your new place (such as clothes, kitchen equipment, housing decorations or tinned food), and bring them to one of our three drop-off points to be collected and repurposed:
- 1️⃣ SLB (with free ice cream! 🍦)
- 2️⃣ Kensington Fields Community Centre
- 3️⃣ Webster Road/Whithorn St junction
