Sheffield RAG, standing for 'Raising and Giving', are a working committee under the mighty banner of the University of Sheffield Students' Union.

This means we are students who run events for students…and the local community, spreading lots of RAG love. We give out our free time to organise charity events in order to accumulate as much cash as possible so we can support mainly charities in the local South Yorkshire area, that need a financially helping hand.

Within the academic year 2010-11, through the generosity and energy of Sheffield students, RAG raised over £202,474 for over 97 charities. From RAG raids, to hitch-hikes and treasure hunts across Europe, we plan to make 2011/2012 even more successful with your help!
