SGO: A student review of our Fairtrade ‘Divine’ Chocolate Tasting Evening

Freshers Fair and WHOLE EARTH?
Megan Cork, our SGO Co-Ordinator and some awesome SGO volunteers were flying our colours down at the Fresher’s Fair yesterday, giving out free reusable water bottles and recipe cards and loads of other great stuff.

Megan and the SGO are hosting a Divine Chocolate tasting on the 9th October at Barista & Baker to get new students talking about Fairtrade foods, and we’re finalists for three Green Gown awards from the Environmental Association of Universities & Colleges (EAUC)
