So... what is Rag?

Bath Rag is a student run group based at the University of Bath. We raise money through various events ran throughout the year and then donate the money to both local and national charities. With a core committee of 11 people supported by a large group of volunteers, last year we raised over £50,000 for charitable organisations. Each year, Bath Rag aims to improve on the total amount raised through team spirit, enthusiasm and generally really good fun!

So how do we raise all this money? Well, we organise a host of different events including the Bright Orange Fireworks, Julian House Sleep Out, Paris Hitch and Bath's biggest pub tour, the Roman Romp. In addition, we take our volunteers on regular raids in cities across the country where we do street collecting in a whole array of wacky costumes - just take a look at some of the photos dotted around this site... Occasionally, we also go on mega-raids, which act as weekend Rag roadtrips meeting Rags from other universities, having lots of fun and doing our bit for charity too! Last year's mega-raids took us to Edinburgh, Manchester and Dublin.

But it doesn't end there! There's also Rag Week, the annual Rag Panto and the dozens of socials ranging from meals and going to the cinema to trips to Bristol and skittles nights! And don't forget, volunteering is always an ideal way to brighten up any CV for potential employers ;)
