► RAG

RAG - Raise and Give

For well over a century, student RAG’s (or Charities Appeals are some are known as) have organised events throughout the year in order to raise much needed funds for a variety of local and national charities. 

 
You may be wondering what RAG stands for. Today it is an acronym for Raise and Give which is basically the common goal that all RAGs throughout the UK have.   
Our own QM:RAG team are called RAGSTARS!
                             
RAG has been known to the public as students and indeed the local community having fun whilst raising money for charities. Students up and down the UK (and even abroad) frequently organise events in their own unique and inimitable way.
 
  • As well as events for local charities there are a number of annual events for national charities where students will offer their services as collectors, counters and marshals etc. 
  • Cancer Research UK organises ‘Clash of the Clans’ which happens around Halloween.
  • The fantastic ‘Hogmoney,’ which happens in Edinburgh over Hogmanay.
  • Help the Aged also have a long running mega-raid, ‘London UnderGRAND’ happening every June, which has been running every year for over a decade! 
  • Meningitis Research Foundation; ‘Bulging Sporrans’ in Edinburgh and ‘London Loot.’ 
  • A new arrival to the mega-raid calendar this year is ‘Kilt Tilt’ organised by Barnardos. 
 
 
Whatever the event, RagStars will be found armed with a bucket or collecting tin raising £££ for charity.
 
 
All events and activities will be publicised on your Student Union Website www.qmusu.org.uk and will feature in the student paper based media of the Echo and The Journal.
  
  
To make the most of your time at Uni, get involved, have some fun and help others.
