Charity and Volunteering

If, however, you feel like something a little more lighthearted, or a little more charitable, there's RAG, the largest fundraising organisation in the University. In the past few years, RAG members have blagged their way to Hawaii, organised blind dates across the university, walked across burning coals and auctioned some very interesting items. Last year they also raised nearly £155,000 to donate to local, national and international charities. Student Community Action co-ordinates student volunteering in the community, from peer mentoring to guiding, working with disabled children to visiting the elderly. It's hard to think of a more fun way to make such a big difference to people's lives in so many ways.

If your interest lies in the wider world, environmental issues and how we can reduce our carbon footprint, students here form one of the most active green campaigns you'll find. From raising awareness among students to lobbying the University, working with the City Council to improving recycling facilities, there is plenty to get involved with
