Raise and Give (RAG) 

RAG stands for ‘Raise and Give’ and is run by a student committee who spend time organising fundraising events and other activities to raise money for nominated charities.

Students can fundraise for any registered charity or the nominated charity voted for. We also coordinate with the Students’ Union to fundraise for national events such as Comic Relief and Children in Need.

 

Our Nominated RAG Charity for 2020-21

Each year students vote for a nominated charity to fundraise for throughout the year and this charity will be the recipient of all proceeds raised during RAG week. Students can also organise fundraising events for other registered charities.

This year’s RAG Charity as voted for is…

 

Smile for Joel

Smile for Joel is a charity that supports families torn apart by murder and terrorism, and raises awareness about safety abroad and the Prevent programme. All money donated to Smile for Joel supports bereaved families affected by murder and manslaughter across England and Wales.

How RAG can help you?

Whilst the Students’ Union will focus on its’ fundraising efforts on the nominated charity, we will support all students in their fundraising efforts. The Students’ Union can loan you buckets, promote events on social media, host events in The Hangar or provide space to have a stand. We can provide legal advice on fundraising, help complete street collection permits and bank the money you raise and make sure it gets paid to the right charity. Any money you raise will go towards the RAG total.

How to Get Involved 

Throughout the year, the RAG Committee made up of student volunteers will work together to create fantastic events and come up with creative fundraising activities in order to raise money for such a great cause. If you would like to be a part of RAG or help with any of their upcoming events and fundraising then please contact Jack Moore, Student Engagement Coordinator at jack.moore@worc.ac.uk.
