Huddersfield Students’ Union is pleased to announce that with the hard work of staff and students alike that they have been awarded the silver standard at the Green Impact Students Union Award.

More than 250 officers and staff from 70 Students’ Unions attended the NUS Services Awards Dinner in Manchester on April 20 to celebrate our collective achievements through Green Impact Students’ Unions.

It is the second year in a row Huddersfield Students’ Union have been awarded this and is testament to the hard work of all staff in ensuring their working environment is as green as possible and energy costs are kept down.

Buildings and Health and Safety Co-ordinator, Andy Wright of the Students’ Union has driven the project forward. He said, “I am proud at the achievement made by Huddersfield Students’ Union and that whilst the standards needed were becoming increasingly challenging we were able to increase our scores. We are looking forward to the challenge of the forthcoming year in which the Students’ Union and its members are aiming for that elusive gold standard.”
