RAG Week

By Features Editor 2 years ago

Ella discusses the exciting charitable events coming up this week!

University RAG weeks are fantastic student-run charitable fundraising campaigns, raising money through exciting happenings. At St Andrews, this years’ Raising and Giving Week is being held from the 24th-30th January, and will host a wide range of sell-out events, individual projects and collections. The team aims to embody charitable giving as a university-wide effort, whilst engaging with the local community. Charities that they are supporting this year include IJM, Shelter Scotland, and LoveOliver. I was really drawn to this years’ charities, with each raising money for incredible causes, and reaching areas of need across the world. The International Justice Mission aims to take action to help end slavery and violence today. Shelter Scotland, a more locally based team exists to the defend the right to a safe home and looks to end the devastating housing emergency in the local, and national community. Finally, LoveOliver, another Scotland based charity, funds research into childhood cancer, as well as providing support to the families affected by it. Whilst this RAG week is providing us with exciting events and hilarious activities, it’s great to remember the worthy causes we can support through donations. Here are our recommendations for things to get involved with this RAG Week!

It’s your team’s job to find the USB containing the evidence for their case and set them free, before the Warden returns! You only have 45 minutes, so you’ll have to be quick!

McLion Code – Tori McLion (Rory McLion’s evil twin) has gone mad! She plans to destroy every Pablo in an hour! Only you and your team can solve the mystery, crack the code to her Pablo destruction machine, and save nights out at 601!

These are just a few of the amazing events being run throughout the week, and all money goes towards a fantastic cause in the three chosen charities. My personal recommendation for the week is the buzzed bingo event being held in the union. It has a perfect mix of fun games, great hosts and some special guest music groups to enjoy throughout the evening. It’s definitely an evening not to miss, so make sure to get involved and make the most of these unique events!

  3. What I have seen in terms of computer memory is that there are specs such as SDRAM, DDR or anything else, that must fit in with the features of the mother board. If the pc’s motherboard is very current while there are no main system issues, replacing the memory literally usually takes under sixty minutes. It’s one of many easiest laptop upgrade treatments one can consider. Thanks for spreading your ideas.

  63. I have observed that of all types of insurance, health insurance is the most debatable because of the clash between the insurance policy company’s obligation to remain adrift and the user’s need to have insurance policies. Insurance companies’ revenue on overall health plans have become low, as a result some businesses struggle to make a profit. Thanks for the ideas you discuss through this web site.

  95. I would also love to add that in case you do not surely have an insurance policy or perhaps you do not belong to any group insurance, you will well take advantage of seeking the aid of a health insurance professional. Self-employed or people having medical conditions typically seek the help of one health insurance brokerage service. Thanks for your article.
