Raise and Give (RAG) 

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

Students can fundraise for any registered charity including the Union's nominated charity voted for  by students. The RAG Team also coordinates with the Students’ Union the highly anticipated RAG Week.

Our Nominated RAG Charity for 2024-25

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…

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.
