A Grand Day out at Renew Hub with the Sustainability Society
This event is hosted by the Manchester Metropolitan Sustainability Society. Find out more and join the society here!
Welcome to A Grand Day Out!
Renew is an ambitious and unique project which aims to create value from waste to benefit Greater Manchester.
They take items donated at recycling centres across Greater Manchester, then repair and renew them at our Renew Hub, ready to be resold to a new home. We’re lucky enough to be going on a tour around the site to see how the upcycling system works!
You can book on to the tour through Eventbrite here
We will meet at 11.30 to travel on public transport to Trafford together. You are expected to cover the cost of travel. The tour lasts from 12.30-3.30pm. Please wear sensible footwear because it is an industrial site! Bring any refreshments you might need during the visit.
The Hub is regrettably not wheelchair accessible.
Discover what Renew Hub do here and you can check out their online shop here (please note items must be collected at the hub).

This society is a safe space for students and staff to voice their thoughts on the planet. There is no judgement, and we aim to educate and inspire people to lead a more sustainable lifestyle.
We run activities such as recycling and re-use workshops, as well as task-days with local communities and day trips to regional nature, all to make a positive impact on the environment, together.
