Welcome to Sustainability Week 2025!
At a time when environmental responsibility is more urgent than ever, Sustainability Week 2025 invites us all to reflect, engage, and take action. Morley College London celebrates the power of everyday choices and the collective strength of our community in creating a more sustainable future.
Throughout the week, you’ll discover a programme of workshops and activities designed to educate, inspire and empower. Whether you’re just beginning your sustainability journey or looking to deepen your commitment, there’s something here for everyone.
This digital booklet is your guide to everything happening during the week, and a few staff profiles including tips on how to live more sustainably in everyday life.
Together, let’s explore how we can reduce our impact, support our planet, and build a greener tomorrow.

All Centres
During Sustainability Week, the college will be placing a clearly labelled waste deposit bin at each centre to collect any e-waste you are looking to dispose of. All e-waste collected during this time will be safely disposed of.
E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to electronic devices, such as old computers, smartphones, TVs, printers, and household appliances. These items often contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can harm the environment and human health if not disposed of properly.
