Our Carbon Footprint

 

At BPCSU we are focusing on reducing our carbon footprint. As part of our Student Executive manifesto, we host fun activities and events in which students can attend, where they can voice their own opinions and ideas on ways that The College can become more environmentally friendly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During these days we offer students the chance to gain support in finding volunteering activities, that they care about or that support their course. We offer signposting throughout the whole year, working with our Charity Of The Year and running environmentally focused GREEN activities and various campaigns. Keep your eyes peeled and find out more as BPCSU announce what’s going to take place.

Dorset Mind Your Head

 

The Students' Union and Student Support Team were delighted to have Dorset Mind Your Head visit the North Road campus on Friday 7th May. The team were there throughout the morning to chat to students, hand out resources and provide information about their services. It was fantastic to welcome Dorset Mind Your Head on to the campus, to give our students the opportunity to drop-by and say hello in person! If you missed out on the chance to pop by today, please visit DMYH's website (https://dorsetmindyourhead.co.uk/) for more information and resources are available at The Link at North Road.
