About

The University of Glasgow’s Raising and Giving (RAG) Society is a student-led group with the aim to raise money and awareness for different charities throughout the academic year.

We organise various fun events such as glitter stalls, bake sales, bra drives, foodbanks, and much more, all in aid of good causes. We also work with various campaigns such as raising money for Movember, or working with the library to get library fines donated to charity. We target both local and national charities and organisations, and we aim to collaborate with clubs and societies at the university to encourage fundraising throughout the UofG community. 

In addition to all this, we also organise the famous ‘RAG Week’ in the second semester of every year, where we select a couple of charities to fundraise for and donate all proceeds to them. It is a week packed full of fundraising activities involving many different events in order to raise as much money as possible!
