We have reached the end of the academic year and sadly, many SU activities and events have now come to an end during the summer period, including Jam House evenings and our weekly Throwback nightclub. But, the good news is, all events and activities will reconvene at the start of the new academic year!
Whether this is your last year and you're saying goodbye to student life or whether we'll see you in September we hope you have a wonderful summer and thank you for an amazing year!

Don't Dump, Donate!
Many students will now be thinking about leaving their student home for the summer, or perhaps even moving out of their accomodation if you are moving properties or finishing university for good. Whilst you are doing a final summer clean or packing up your belongings, if you come across any items you purchased at the start of the academic year but never had any use for, or you are moving and no longer want or have purpose for certain items, please do not dump them, donate them instead!
Pop into the Students' Union during our summer opening times and head to The Hive, located near the South entrance of the SU, to the left as you walk inside (opposite the lift). You can donate as much or as a little as you would like to. Whether you have a box full of items or just want to donate a few cups or cutlery; all donations are welcome!
Please note we cannot accept large or small scale electrical appliances, knives or bedding.
You can also donate your healthcare uniforms!
Please email studentvoice@su.plymouth.ac.uk if you have any questions.
