This opportunity to conduct an audit is invaluable to me, especially since I aspire to be an accountant in the future. I was able to enhance skills (i.e. listening, critical thinking, research, team work) that will be vital for my career.

It was great to understand the ways a University could embed Fairtrade and wider sustainability practices through its research, curriculum and procurement.

Volunteering has allowed me learn how to engage in conversations about actions for the environment in a non-intrusive way to my flatmates and hall residents.

SOS-UK provided excellent training to our Student Sustainability Officers which helped prepare them for reaching out to the wider student body on sustainability issues at the University. They left with the skills and knowledge to engage with their peers on key global issues, and were empowered to help contribute to some of the solutions. The students now feel confident in talking about sustainability more broadly but also have tangible examples and ideas to help them achieve their goals. Thanks to Tori and SOS-UK for a great training day!
