Aston RAG is a fantastic opportunity to make the most of your time at University. Joining a society as large as ours is a great way to meet new people, have a great time and most importantly make a huge amount of money for charity. To give you some perspective of the scale of Aston RAG, last year’s committee turnover more than £100,000! For such a small University, our money raised per capita makes us one of the most successful RAG Societies in the country. So why not come join us; and be part of something truly special.
What is RAG?
RAG Stands for Raise and Give and we are the fundraising body for the University. Throughout the year a committee of 12 second year students and one Fresher’s Representative, organise a series of events for everybody at the University, with all the proceeds going to a variety of different Charities.
RAG is the biggest society at Aston and more importantly it is completely free to come and join the fun! We meet every week at 7.30 in the Blue Room on the Ground floor of the Guild to discuss what’s going on with RAG. This is usually followed by a social event of some description.
If you would like to find out more about RAG, we have an office on the fourth floor of the Guild, complete with sofas, table football and a talking parrot! We’re almost always in there and we’d love to meet you!
Enjoy Making a Difference!
