Hello! Welcome to Be The Change! We are a society campaigning for sustainability in Exeter, both on and off campus. We provide a supportive space for students to tackle issues we are passionate about, with a focus on environmentalism. Being member-led, we are always looking for new projects and welcome anyone with an idea or passion for making change! Be The Change strives to be a friendly, supportive and accessible group to discuss and advocate for people and planet. Some examples of what we achieved over the last few years include:Nominated and awarded ‘Runner-up’ for the Campaign of the Year Guild Award for our 2025/2026 campaign ‘Vegshare’, which brings fresh, organic fruit and vegetables straight to campus from a local farm, Shillingford OrganicsNominated and awarded ‘Runner-up’ for the Sustainability Guild Award for our 2024/2025 slow fashion campaign ‘Stitch By Stitch’Won the Sustainability Guild Award for our work on Sustainable Sundays and our 2023/2024 campaign 'Microplastics - Let's End The Cycle'Won the UPPF Student Sustainability Fund for our ‘Stitch By Stitch’ campaign, after engaging thousands of students in sustainable fashion eventsTwo members of committee were selected to attend the Students Organising for Sustainability Conference in Lancaster in 2024, where they heard from industry experts and fellow student activists about their work within environmentalism Created our ‘Sustainable Sunday’s' which is a bi-weekly coffee morning where we talk about various environmental and sustainability issues / topics.
