Charity, RAG & Volunteering
Oxford students are active in a variety of charitable areas and there are many opportunities for interested students to get involved in some pro bono activities and donate some of their time and talents in charitable activity. Please explore the opportunities below. For further information or if you have any questions please contact your VP (Charities and Community) - charities@ousu.org

Oxford RAG
RAG - Raise And Give - The Student Union's Fundraising Organisation. The society that has it all. Cocktail parties, sporting tournaments, hitch-hikes, talent shows, bungee jumping, club nights, plays, comedy gigs and the notorious fancy dress RAG raids! There are loads of ways to get involved with RAG from joining the RAG Exec and becoming part of the team that organises all these great events; to becoming a college charity rep, organising your own college charity events and promoting the joys of RAG within your college; or just simply coming along and having an amazing time!
