History of RAG at Keele

RAG has been established at Keele University 1956 RAG day consisted of a long procession of decorated vehicles and floats around Newcastle and Stoke, accompanied by student collectors in fancy dress. There were bucket collections and sales of a “humorous” magazine called WOOP! Stunts, whether planned or impromptu, were a regular feature.
RAG gradually lost momentum until it was resurrected by a student called Danny Walker, who went on to be an Elected Officer in 2013.
Now we want you to get involved in Keele RAG. Let us know about your charity fundraising, we can support your events and you will be entered into the Keele RAG Awards where your Club or Society could become RAG Champions! RAG Champions are announced at our end of year awards celebration in May.
Remember to Consider:
-
Venue: Size, person limit, public liability insurance
-
Activity: Music Permits, alcohol licence
-
Bucket Collections in the local community need to be approved by the local council
-
It's important to risk assess your activity, you never know what might happen!
-
Do you need a permit for busking?
-
Label your buckets correctly!
