RAG week begins on Monday 10 November, with a range of activities organised in order to raise money for various charities.
The week consists of bucket collections, sponsored silences, fancy dress events and a foam party, as well as some organised events at Walkabout and the Students’ Union which students can buy tickets for.
With events occurring all day, every day, there will be something to suit everybody, and it is hoped that this year, the greater number of events will draw bigger crowds than ever before.
Extra excitement has been caused by the possibility of the BBC filming the events on Monday (fancy dress as fairies to collect money at the Union) as well as the foam party which is planned for Tuesday 11 November.
RAG stands for ‘Raise and Give’, and there are various RAG societies at universities across the country.
The aim of the society is to raise money for charity, while encouraging students to have fun.
Students are encouraged to take part in all of the events, and to give as much as possible.
More details can be found on the Cardiff University RAG Facebook page or through email – rag@cardiff.ac.uk.
