STUDENT FUNDRAISING

RAG stands for 'Raising and Giving’ Sheffield RAG is a working committee of students who organise bundles of fundraising opportunities every year.

Adopt a Charity

RAG’s ‘Adopt a Charity’ scheme works with clubs, societies and committees to help you fundraise for good causes of your choice. We can help you organise your own fundraising events- everything from bake sales and pub quizzes to skydives and 24 hour challenges- and provide health and safety, room booking, ticketing and marketing support as well as contactless card machines, glitter, glowsticks and charity buckets! Sports clubs and societies can claim back up to 45% of their fundraising for their own club or society account too. Plus, we'll do the work of donating the money you raise to your chosen good cause on your behalf. E-mail adoptacharity@sheffieldrag.com for more info! Please be aware that small scale fundraising events must send in their request for fundraising support at least 10 days before they wish for their event to take place and larger events must send through their request at least 4 weeks prior to their chosen event date.

Go Programme is packed full of activities, events and experiences. Every year thousands of students get involved, so what are you waiting for? Join us! Buying Tickets Tickets for all events are on sale online at www.sheffieldsu.com/events TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE- you cannot turn up on the door and pay. Many Give it a Go events are in high demand and tickets sell out very quickly, so please buy your tickets early to avoid disappointment. Unfortunately all tickets purchased are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged or transferred. If the event organiser cancels the event, a full refund will be issued from the Students Union Box Office. Participants will be informed of cancellations via social media and email where possible. Room locations Unsure of where to go? Check out the map on pages 8/9 in this programme. If the location reads ‘The Edge’ in Endcliffe, ‘The Ridge’ in Ranmoor, or ‘The SU’ (Students’ Union), just meet outside the reception. Goodwin Sports Centre is located on Northumberland Road (on your way up to Crookes).

Safety Minibus For evening activities in the Students’ Union, the Safety minibus will take you home to your door anywhere within a 2 mile radius of the SU. The service runs every hour and costs just £1.50. Public Transport For information on bus or tram fares in and around Sheffield, visit www.travelsouthyorkshire.com The Give it a Go sports activities are in partnership with Sport Sheffield.

Look out for the next Give it a Go in April!
