Environmental Sustainability at New City College

NCC Goes Green 2025

NCC Goes Green is all about raising awareness, taking action, and making real changes for a greener future.

Across our campuses, students and staff will be getting involved in hands-on activities that highlight the importance of sustainability, from tackling fast fashion and reducing waste to rethinking our energy use and supporting local environmental initiatives.

How can students get involved?

Take action by joining a litter pick or swapping pre-loved clothes at our ‘Clothes Swap’ events
Get creative with upcycling projects like T-shirts to tote bags, origami, and green-themed jewellery making
Make an impact by planting wildflowers, crafting bird feeders, and pledging to reduce your carbon footprint
Get informed through sustainability and green jobs fairs, energy advice sessions and environmental documentary screenings
Sign up to our extracurricular Carbon Literacy courses
