This event is part of our wider Furniture Reuse Marketplace<\/strong><\/a> initiative, which helps give surplus university furniture, decor, and non-IT equipment a second life both on and off campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reuse Marketplace prioritises reuse within the university first to reduce costs and waste. When items are no longer needed internally, they are offered to staff, students, charities, and community groups \u2014 all free of charge and subject to availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since launching, the Marketplace has facilitated the reuse of over 2,000 items, weighing approximately 45.5 tonnes, with an estimated value of \u00a367,000 donated to charities and community organisations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
