Student fundraising

Support us during RAG Week

Have fun and raise money for our work at the same during RAG Week at your university or college. There are lots of things you can do.

This year we went to the RAG Conference at Durham University which was from the 5-8 September. Thank you to everyone who came to our stall and said hello. Congratulations to Sarah M from Oxford Rag who won the iPod Touch and Theodora from Plymouth Rag who won the paintball voucher. Read about what it's like to be a RAG Organiser.
