As a 3rd-year student and Environment Officer, she’s seen how UK students are struggling with anxiety, rising costs and a lack of meaningful support - and how even on a green campus, young people feel boxed into concrete rather than connected to nature. After pushing through red tape to secure student ownership of a small garden, she found it was completely derelict: overgrown, littered and unusable. With $500, Jaz and her peers will buy second-hand tools, reclaimed wood, compost bins and seeds to turn it into a vibrant community space with wildflowers, hedgehog houses, picnic spots and areas for workshops, studying and yoga. It’s a simple mission to give students somewhere to breathe and gather.
