Second-Hand Book Sale
Donate your used books and support our fundraising efforts!
Tuesday 14^th and Wednesday 15^th February, Crescent, Warrington campus

To celebrate #SustainabilityWeek we’ll be hosting a second-hand book sale at our Warrington campus on Tuesday 14^th and Wednesday 15^th February! Staff and students are encouraged to bring their used books to the Marketing Office (A109) at Warrington campus prior to the event. All monies raised will be donated to the college food bank. Cash only.

#OneStepGreener - Buying a used book reduces the number of new prints, eventually reducing paper usage and helping the environment. We aim to reduce carbon emissions in all possible ways, and every one of us should endeavour to reach that goal. Your part can be played by reusing the books and reducing the printing of new books.

Quality Second-Hand Clothes Sale
Donate your used clothes and support our fundraising efforts!
