RAG Week: 1 – 9 February 2014 Raising and Giving (RAG) Week is all about raising lots of money for charity. We want to make RAG Week 2014 bigger, better and more purple than ever! RAG Week is packed full with amazing events designed to raise as much money as possible for charity. Every event is planned and run by students for both town and gown to enjoy. Last year we raised over £22,000 – a record breaking amount – but this year we want to raise even more! A great number of RAG Week 2014 events have been organised by societies who are raising money for a charity of their choice. We are looking forward to hosting a number of brilliant headline events including Catwalk, Mr St Andrews, Disney Bop, the Fine Food Fayre and more! We hope you enjoy RAG Week 2014.

Raising and Giving (RAG) Week 2014 is exclusively sponsored by KPMG.
