Welcome to Raising and Giving (RAG)

RAG (Raising and Giving) is really invaluable part of what we do at Winchester Student Union as it gives our students a chance to give back to their community by making real differences to people's lives! It is a week dedicated to raising money in weird and unusual ways for such deserving charities. RAG Week is a student-led week where our student body come together in fun and unusual ways to raise money for and support so many charities such as Mind, Naomi’s House and Jack’s Place, and Trinity Winchester. This academic year's RAG week will take place from 29th January to 4th February 2024. If you would like to get involved in RAG week or know what events are going on email SUactivities@winchester.ac.uk.

Charity proposals must come from a student who is currently enrolled at the University of Winchester or a Student Union Activity Group. To propose a RAG charity please click here.
