Description
Welcome to the UoW Raising and Giving Society Page! Click below to find out about:
RAG is an important aspect to the Student’s Union, as we are the fundraising branch! We are free to join, and we love to collaborate with a range of societies, sports teams, and representational networks for events and fundraisers. Our aim is to support organisations and charities that are not only important to us, but to you guys as well!
We hope to collaborate with a few other societies throughout the year for events and potentially socials as well – overall, RAG has a goal of raising awareness, fundraising, and encouraging people to get involved in our quests to aid charities/organisations! Our plans for event organisation hope to involve immersive and interactive activities, help to build positive connections, and educate everyone on any of our chosen charities (a list of which can be found here) in an enjoyable way for everyone! Recent events previously planned by RAG have included collaborations with sports teams for Movember, and bakes sales to support the RNLI, and we’re hoping to have even more in store this year!
Becoming a member of RAG not only introduces you to new, like-minded individuals who share your passion for raising and giving, but also allows you to build skills such as teamwork, communication and sales if you’re looking to be a friendly face as fundraising events; these all come together to form a great skillset for building a CV! Overall, we are a group of individuals all in the same boat about fundraising and charity – whether you attend our sessions with a friend, or try it out on your own, there will always be a familiar face within our society, alongside opportunities to build connections! If you are unable to attend our sessions, that’s no worries – though we encourage involvement and participation, it is never obligatory!

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs
Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.
Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By joining this activity group you are confirming your compliance with Student Union policies and bye-laws, particularly as it pertains to conduct, personal safety and acceptable behaviour.
Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus. If you ever feel pressured to take part in social activities as part of an activity group, we would strongly encourage you to report it to us here: https://www.winchesterstudents.co.uk/report It is our upmost priority that you feel safe engaging in Union activity, and there is support available for you if you have experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel uncomfortable or concerned you.
