Student fundraising, giving to the people that need it most

What is RAG?

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. 

Why get involved?

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
