EAUC-S Conference 2018 – Positive Partnership - BHF & Heriot-Watt University

The EAUC-Scotland 2018 Conference, A Decade of Progress, celebrated successes from the decade past, and visioned the decade ahead, to coincide with the EAUC-Scotland office’s 10 year anniversary.

Collaboration is key for sustainability progress. To showcase good examples of collaboration we invited sector members to put themselves forward to briefly share the story of a successful partnership between their institution and a private or third sector organisations which has driven forward sustainability progress, in a joint presentation with the partner organisation on the day. The Partnerships were:

• Bright Green Business's Environmental Placement Programme with Edinburgh College

• British Heart Foundation's Pack for Good Campaign with Heriot-Watt University

• Cycle Solutions with University of St Andrews

• Cycling Scotland with University of Dundee

• Green Rewards' JUMP Programme with University of Strathclyde

The joint presentation is available to download from the right of the page.

The British Heart Foundation’s Pack for Good Campaign were deighted to present due to their work in collaboration with Heriot-Watt University . The presentation was be delivered by Karen O’Donoghue, Head of Retail Partnerships at BHF. Chris Larkins from Heriot-Watt University was unfortunately not able to be there, but he has gave the following statement of recommendation:

“Heriot-Watt University has worked with British Heart Foundation, under the Pack for Good Campaign, for more than 5 years. During that time BHF have collected enormous quantities of clothing, shoes, books and other useful bits and pieces from our students at the end of term, making a huge contribution to our waste reduction efforts while supporting BHF’s valuable research. The BHF team have been tremendously supportive throughout, helping to coordinate the Pack for Good campaign within the context of our broader end of term efforts, and helping to consolidate these for a successful campaign each year. We’re delighted to recommend them as a Positive Partner.”
