Description
Welcome to UOW Raising and Giving (RAG)! We are the Official Fundraising Arm of the Winchester Student Union.
What are our aims at RAG?
1. Bring together like-minded students interested in fundraising and making a difference to create, discuss, and plan new events.
2. Support individual students, sports teams, societies, and representational networks with their fundraising activities.
3. Maintain and oversee the RAG-approved charity list (found here)
4. Organise the annual RAG Week campaign during semester 2 of each academic year (W/C 3rd Feb 2024)
Why Join Us?
Joining the Raising and Giving (RAG) Society is a fantastic way to make a meaningful impact while having fun. As part of RAG, you'll engage in a variety of fundraising events and initiatives that support local and national charities, helping those in need and promoting social change.
It’s a great opportunity to develop your leadership and organisational skills, work with a dynamic team, and connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about giving back. Whether you’re looking to enhance your CV or simply want to contribute to worthwhile causes, RAG offers a rewarding experience that combines community service with a vibrant social scene.

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs
Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.
Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By joining this activity group you are confirming your compliance with Student Union policies and bye-laws, particularly as it pertains to conduct, personal safety and acceptable behaviour.
Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus. If you ever feel pressured to take part in social activities as part of an activity group, we would strongly encourage you to report it to us here: https://www.winchesterstudents.co.uk/report It is our upmost priority that you feel safe engaging in Union activity, and there is support available for you if you have experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel uncomfortable or concerned you.
