Campaigns

We know that with the current national lockdown your daily lives may have changed slightly (or quite a bit!) but we wanted to reach out and let you know that we are here - together, wherever.

Meat free Mondays was a campaign run by the Green Committee Food & Waste officer, where they worked with FXPlus on developing more sustainable food offerings in campus outlets. Meat free Monday was designed to make a vegetarian meal a weekly staple as the main meal of the day. The hope was that this would encourage the campus community to more deeply consider their food choices and recognise how small changes can have a big impact.

As part of International Women’s Week, the 19/20 President of Welfare and Inclusivity, Allie Guy raised awareness of the issue of period poverty by providing free organic and biodegradable sanitary products to our female members as well as heavily discounted mooncups and free workshops in making reusable sanitary products.

Last year the SU provided a Sexhibition in the Stannary on Penryn Campus aimed at promoting healthy relationships and sex, encouraging healthy intimate body image and educating about how to partake in safe, consensual, sexual relations. The SEXhibition involved a variety of adult games, a DJ, free welfare products, information from Coppafeel, Wellbeing support services, First Light, Brook, many other external organisations, free chlamydia tests and even a surf simulator.

Nominated for an NSVA award, our 19/20 Inclusivity Officer Zoe Burden organised a range of activities to celebrate Disability Week and raise awareness about inclusivity and accessibility. The week included a film, a free British Sign Language Workshop and an inspiring talk by the actor Adam Pearson about body confidence.
