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.
The RAG is overseen by the RAG Committee.
You can gain valuable experience in planning events and campaigns, make new connections and ultimately do a good thing. The more volunteers (committee) 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 a Vice Chair, Social Media Conveyor and RAG Ambassadors for 2025-2026, if you’d like to be involved email Caitlin the VPF at vpf@dusa.co.uk
This years chosen charity is Deaf Links
Deaf Links is a Tayside-based charity dedicated to supporting people with sensory loss, including those who are Deaf, hard of hearing, deafened, deafblind, or visually impaired. They provide an array of services that are crucial to the Deaf Community of Dundee.
Through their community café, charity shop, and awareness initiatives, Deaf Links works to break down barriers, promote inclusion, and ensure dignity and equality for all.
Roles you as a student can apply for:
Vice Chair of Committee:
The Vice Chair supports the Chair in leading the RAG Committee, helping to coordinate fundraising efforts, engage students, and ensure smooth delivery of events and campaigns for DUSA’s chosen Charity of the Year.
Social Media Conveyor:
The Social Media Conveyor manages RAG’s social media to promote fundraising efforts, events, and engage the Dundee student community. They create content to raise awareness, encourage participation, and foster connection between DUSA, RAG, and students.
2x Rag Ambassadors:
The RAG Ambassadors support the committee by planning and running events, contributing ideas, and promoting fundraising initiatives. With two senior ambassadors on the team, they play a vital role in ensuring RAG’s success.
We’re excited to share several student-led surveys aimed at understanding your experiences and needs within the DUSA community. These surveys are conducted by fellow students like you, seeking valuable insights to enhance our services and spaces.
We are now 15 months into a financial crisis at the University of Dundee, but the roots are much longer and go beyond recent years of local mismanagement.
