Worcester Students' Union Raise and Give (RAG) works to facilitate student fundraising at the University of Worcester. Every year we have a nominated local charity that we will fundraise for throughout the year and who will be the recipient of all proceeds raised during RAG Week.
RAG’s focused charities over the last couple of years have included, Behind the Smile, West Mercia Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Centre, Alzheimer’s Society, Mencap, Mind, Student Minds, and Smile for Joel: Victim Support.
Our chosen Charity for 2024-25 is Acorns Children's Hospice as voted for by our students.
Applications for 2024/25 have now closed.
