Group Details

What is the Group For?

The Local Action Task Group is part of Ecoversity and has been set up to support the sustainable work/actions that staff and students are undertaking in their departments and community spaces on campus. This is not restricted to work undertaken as part of your School Plans - in fact the group is there to encourage staff to take a lead with their own sustainable projects falling outside their Schools standard remit. To start your own group or find out what is happening in your School or area see information and links below.

Who Runs the Group?

Chair: Sara Marsh, Director of Learner Support Services.
Administrator: Rachel Pearson, Ecoversity.
