Hi! I’m Esther your Vice President of Fundraising. I'm in my second year studying biomedical sciences and I oversee DUSA’s Raising and Giving (RAG) initiative. My aim is to foster an environment where you can become passionate in giving to good causes making a local and national impact in your community. I would encourage you to get involved by donating, attending events or being behind the scenes on the RAG committee - you can make a difference. So, if you have a heart for charity or want to try something new, being a part of RAG is for you!
To stay up to date follow these Instagram accounts @ragdundee @esther.vpf and keep an eye on this page for exciting news and updates!
RAG is DUSA’s Raising and Giving initiative which exists to have philanthropic presence in its community. Every year the student body votes for a charity to raise funds for, through fun campaigns and events.
You can gain valuable experience in planning events and campaigns, make new connections and ultimately do a good thing. The more volunteers (RAG Ambassadors) we have, the more successful events we can pull off together, which ultimately helps raise more money which can be given to someone in need.
We’re currently looking for RAG Ambassadors for 2024-2025, if you’d like to be involved email Esther the VPF vpf@dusa.co.uk
This year’s chosen charity is Barnardo’s Children’s Charity. They are committed to helping children who struggle with challenges like poverty.
