Raise and Give (RaG) allows you as students to raise money for different charities throughout the year, with opportunity to choose certain charities that are of importance to you. Each year, Newman Students' Union aims to increase our fundraising and campaigning opportunities. Launching or getting involved in a RaG initiative is a great opportunity to support the causes that mean the most to you.
RaG initiatives and opportunities can be launched and led by any student, student representative, or student groups (such as societies) and take many forms. For example, with our support you could host an event here on camus or encourage your peers to participate in an event in the wider community. You could also launch a longer term RaG initiative or take part in a sponsored challenge. Don't limit yourself to these ideas though, if there is something you're interested in being involved in, we can enable you to make it happen.
Please see below the list of charities we aim to fundraise for throughout the next academic year:
- Macmillan Cancer Support
- Birmingham Children's Hospital
As with all things Newman Students' Union does, this list is student-led, and so it may change throughout the year as new charities are added. If you have any other suggestions for charities you would like to raise money for, please email Cloudy, or come and see us in our office!
If you would like to have a chat with someone about a cause that's important to you, but you're unsure how to go about building a RaG initiative, please contact us and we can help you get started.
