Introducing Sustainable Halls...

Here at Halls Life, we are passionate about finding ways to live more sustainably in Halls 💚

We’ve teamed up with the Guild of Students and the University’s Sustainability Team to bring exclusive sustainable events, activities competitions and opportunities.

Living in Halls is when most of you will be living away from home for the first time, meaning it's the perfect time to make sustainable choices and encourage your flatmates to do the same. Your small actions today will continue to make a big impact no matter where you live after Halls!

Here’s how you can get involved this year…

Throughout the year we'll have different events and activities to get stuck into. These may be activities that you take part in yourself, with your flatmates or even as a Hall. Every time you get involved, you'll help increase your Hall's score on the leader board bringing you closer to that end of year prize.

Sustainable Halls events run all year round so it's really never too late to get stuck in.

Flat Recycling Audits 🥫

In November 2026 and March 2027, the Guild’s Sustainability team will carry out what we call ‘Recycling Audits’ (where they check your kitchen’s bins to see if you and your flatmates are recycling properly)!

Your flat will be left a scorecard to let you know how much of a great job you’re doing as well as feedback (as well as a prize for those who score well). Score well and help your hall climb the leader board to be in with a chance of winning that end of year prize.

Grown your own greens, nature walks, bike rides, crafts & clothes repair sessions🌿

The Guild’s Sustainability team will be bringing green-inspired events exclusively for Halls students all year round e.g. grow your own greens, learning how to repair your own clothes, quiz nights, nature walks and bike rides. All Sustainable Halls events will be posted here!

These events are for both students living in University of Liverpool Halls and University Approved Halls.

Monthly Sew-Cials 🧵

Catch up with your latest sewing project, or learn the basics of sewing at our monthly sew-cials. Sit back, relax and chat with other halls students!

Monthly reads 📖

The Sustainable Halls team will share themed monthly articles. Whether you're on the 699 or waiting in the queue for your parcel, you can catch up with each month's article on Halls Life.

Bike Hire & repair workshops 🚲

Free, regular bike repair workshops will be taking place at Greenbank Student Village. If your bike is in need of some TLC, just bring it along to the Bikiosk at Greenbank where the Peloton team will advice and tips on how to keep your bike in top condition.

Earn your Sustainable Halls stamp 🌍

When you come along to any Sustainable Halls event, you'll receive a stamp on your loyalty card. Each stamp will bring your Hall closer to being crowned winners at the end of the year, plus you'll have proof of your contribution towards making your Halls an even more sustainable place! 

Earn 4 stamps for a free Union Brew hot drink and 8 stamps for a free Sustainable Halls kitchen pack! 

Hall Quizzes 💚

Plus you can expect quizzes (with prizes) to test your knowledge on all things sustainability. Don't worry we're not here to see how well you score, instead we just encourage you to learn something new and be in with a chance of winning a prize.

We'll share a mix of online quizzes and competitions so you can get involved from the comfort of your own bedroom, as well as in-person quizzes!

Be crowned Sustainable Halls winner 2026/27 🏆

The score from your Hall's recycling audits as well as your participation in quizzes and Sustainable Halls activities will contribute towards your Hall's overall score on the leader board. We'll also count your Sustainable Halls loyalty stamps towards your Hall's score meaning every little helps.

In May 2027, a winning hall will be announced and awarded with a special prize for all residents!
